In other words, its the biggest bollocks reason to argue since that time someone started talking up how significant deaths were!

This puts me back into a narrow average age related lead against Book again. Tough cup game, this.

Unfair comparison too - Philip was considered the son of God on at least one island (and oddly it wasn't even ours!). (Actually, did you see the documentary about 20 years ago where some of the islanders came to London and got to meet Philip? Paraphrasing from memory, he told them that one day he would return to the spirit world, but then return again in another form, basically protecting their entire religion and culture against the inevitable - which was more kind and tactful than some might think of him as a diplomat...)

Category 1 deaths include the immediate ceasing of all programmes on BBC1/2/4 - oddly reassuring to see all the gumf is actually true. Anyhow, I can think why they did it and its all political rather than respect.

Just to ruin the tone completely, as someone who has childhood memories of the news when that plane hit the apartment block in Holland in the early 90s, 1 in 250, 000 is a bit high for my liking.

I think she was 2nd or 3rd sub for me because I hummed and hawwed about her well up to the deadline. She did seem like a potential sleeper pick at the time.

Hah, yeah, that happens to me too a lot.

I still think the tradition of the monarch* outliving a child will continue. *them or the monarch's other half to be accurate but obviously Philip wont be doing that now.

Hah, no, honestly, just the other day me and Reptile were discussing the most improved players of late and your name came up from both of us. I believe you are back in the DDP top 10 again as it stands.

I dropped him also, and The Terminator (aka Book) didn't!

Man, Nicholas Witchell has got old since I last saw him.

Dead, apparently. EDIT - Oh I legit thought I'd beat Thatcher for once!

I really hate the way they squash the credits to show a trailer or something else these days. Or play them at 100 miles an hour. It feels disrespectful to assume no one cares about the team who just put together the thing you just watched imo. Ritter I'd seen in a few things (according to his credits, more than I knew I had, he blended into characters) but he felt like he was just getting some recognition last few years for stuff like Chernobyl and Friday Night Dinner and was going to go onto bigger things this decade. Which is the fucker.

And if it were true (spoiler - I agree, its not), it'd be 0.0003% of the people who got the jab. Which is lower than the average you'd expect from natural causes!

Wasn't that the Boudicca route to the final?

tbh neither had I and his seat is within 20 miles of here!

Checking it, you picked a Gray who is a Tory MP for Wiltshire (very south of England near Bath, I think) - the Gray who resigned is an SNP guy for Airdrie near Glasgow.

I'm not, because apparently in their cross tabs the total number of Brexit Party 2019 voters polled in this thing was...13! 13 people weighting 1/4th of a polling which is already underpolled for numbers is a bit shit. Just pointing out you can't use this poll to determine where Brexit votes will go - I do however agree that Labour are in deep trouble here, which is a separate issue.

As a Clyde valley resident I'd be more concerned about those nukes in the Holy Loch. Or not, because in the small chance anything goes badly wrong with them, folk in Glasgow wont know a thing about it. It'll be the folk in Edinburgh and north England who die slowly. I'm great at helping folk's anxieties, I am.

Yeah, it seemed like he was just starting to building some momentum too with Friday Night Dinner and Chernobyl too before the pandemic.

Died this morning, I just heard. EDIT - Jeremy Hunt confirms it on Twitter. Jeremy Hunt on Twitter: "Another terrible sadness today: the loss of Dr Paul Cosford, emeritus medical director at Public Health England. A distinguished & inspiring leader who led with his humanity and compassion. He also fought his cancer with great courage and dignity. RIP Paul from your many friends" / Twitter

Had no idea she was ill tbh. Also wondering what black magic Biblio conjured for the by-election bingo, its raining them all of a sudden.

An actual Tory death related by-election. First in 16 years.
