    Political Frailty

    Don't remember that Tarzan film.

    British Character Actors

    Actually not seen that episode as I only watch them after reading the original. However he's only the bloody murderer in one of my favourite Taggarts! Also in The Fabulous Bagel Boys which I enjoyed but is now forgotten.

    Baseball

    I love that episode and it's genuinely all I know about American baseball. Wade Boggs became real life best friends with the late great wrestler Curt "Mr Perfect" Hennig and Hennig saved Boggs life for real about twenty five years ago when Boggs badly injured himself on a camping trip.

    How’s Your 2022 Shortlist going?

    The BBC film editor (who I think from Google might also be the author) who did interviews at the time about her glioblastoma. At the time I think I just picked her in response to some actual BBC folk not getting QOs at the time, but looking back she was very, very obscure and almost certainly would have been FFBI blocked nowadays.

    The Dead of 2024

    Directed Anybody's Nightmare starring Patricia Routledge about the Sheila Bowler case from the nineties. I was tempted to pick Bowler for my Oldies DDP team last year but iirc there were rumours she died off radar a few years ago so wasn't worth the risk.

    Political Frailty

    A religious Scottish MP from the central belt who supported Celtic and their two biggest interests being Ireland and abortions is so on brand it's a stereotype. Say what you want about the nats and we do, their rise wiped out a number of rubbish MPs. (In general, I know McAvoy went in 2010.) Well that sucks.

    @YoungWillz take a bow lad, you've ninja'd Thatcher to a death!
  8. At this rate the year 3000 isn't a Busted song, more a prediction of how long this round will last.

    Big Brother

    5 but swap Nikita for Ekin Su (who was on Traitors USA and is now suddenly bloody everywhere) and it's the same list.

    Rishi Sunak

    I just can't resist it when people ask why non binary things are binary. Plus defending a mate. Christ how big is this list of people we apparently need to cancel now, this is meant to be my weekend off...

    Rishi Sunak

    Toast and iirc Gooseberry hate Meghan Markle for some reason (not a request for details) and no one has cancelled either of them or has any plans to. Death Impends is a lassie and has my support 1000%. Churchill was flawed yes but absolutely the right man to lead us in Ww2. He is a reminder that great people can make terrible mistakes but be there when everyone needs them the most. See also as a useful example here Gladstone, who went from being a young racist, then through educating and bettering himself, became a Victorian champion for human rights. British history is full of amazing inspiring stories and people. It's also full of horrors because the former tended to be reacting against the latter. But I'm quite happy to celebrate the greats while acknowledging the shit bits. It doesn't make the good stuff less inspiring, in fact it makes it more so. Like in Star Wars without the dark side hurting the galaxy Luke is just some farmer. Think that covers most of it.

    Deathlist Cup 2024

    Good to see @Bibliogryphon advance. I admit I have fond memories of the year he got to round four of the cup because his opponents kept getting DQ'd for not sending in teams!
  13. So we all need to pretend to like the Tories for one week in march to trick Sunak into calling an election?
  14. It's going to be something mundane and crap, like everything Sunak does, but there is a large part of my brain going "can I has an election" like Oliver Twist, or one of those meme cats.

    Deathlist Cup 2024

    If I win, most of the prize money is going to Drol's posts on folk being hospitalised! Sean Wallace? No, he's some sports guy from America. That I didn't pick for the DDP as I figured too FFBI only for Banana to pick him...
