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.

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...

Good luck, @ThereWillBeDeaths7 I'll be honest, I completely forgot about the Cup until I got a message about it yesterday and went "oh shit". So my team is as last minute useless as possible.

Died today, apparently. If true, the the DDP's first ever 29th February hit. We came close with a vast number of 28 Feb hits and misses in 2020 under my reign of terror.

Although "and another" in that sentence means they are not a singular person in the sense Bibliogryphon is using, and therefore "alumni" is an understandable alternative (as in several Strictly alumni have now died), but that's another whole can of worms entirely and remember the golden rule of grammar: clarity is king. Or queen.

One of my heroes! Looked and sounded great for her age (though she has aged a bit) but yeah, approaching DL consideration imo.

The bad news keeps coming today. Dave from the Hairy Bikers dead, now Esther Rantzen doing OK.

Yes, 94 and battling dementia is a terrible combination for someone living with seventy wild lions...

Police Woman was repeated on Freeview few years ago during lockdown. Saw two episodes at most before deciding it was shit and going back to Columbo, sorry.

At the risk of sounding drol, never considered him for any teams as he seemed too young.

We used to watch This Is Your Life in the nineties. Fond memories of Spike Milligan and others on it. Actually one of my strongest childhood TV memories was Rula Lenska being reunited with her ancient mum and then as the credits rolled the BBC announced said "we regret to inform you that since this episode was filmed, Rula Lenskas mother has died". Cue suitable awws from all the family.

Ah the hefty chap from Harper's Island.

He said, "I've been to the year 3000 Not much has changed but they lived underwater And your great, great, great granddaughter Is pretty fine" That's what six generations in a millennium? 110 Club going to be wanking themselves silly over future longevity records, confirmed by Busted.

Electric Six are great. Nothing quite broke the ice when forced to do karaoke in front of a dour bar of humourless people like a dose of Gay Bar. Girls Aloud are also great though that's one of their weaker covers. Shakira is great. And also a singer Most of the rest is pish.

Usually the wall of facts will suffice but this non sequitur is so wtf my brain hurts.

Somewhere @Death Impends is sighing in relief I didn't pick Pamela Salem...

Iirc retired due to struggling with severe cancer.

The stabbing? Given the chap who stabbed him is back in jail (for grooming an underage schoolgirl), and he was notorious for robbing folk at the time, that more struck as Savident picking the wrong rent boy for closeted casual sex.

Actor Mike Grady reporting the death of the sublime Pamela Salem (Never Say Never Again, The Tripods, Remembrance of the Daleks, frankly too many big roles to mention all).

Technically a confidence vote in the house can remove a sitting Speaker but this last happened was around the time of Queen Anne. Michael Martin was removed through the third largest party demanding he resign and a Douglas Carswell EDM but Martin resigned before he was pushed and was already badly wounded by the expenses and Damien Green arrest. If it were to shift the speaker it'd be a long term process. Anyhow I'm not a fan of the current speaker but I'm less a fan of tantrum politics.

Heyyy... No wait, fair point. I knew it was concerning when I saw Willz had a 110club Forum thread...

We had a brick for emergency contact but it became surplus to requirements as every major network around here stopped providing the lower network keeping the signal for the old school phones. Even luddite me had to upgrade to a smartphone.

A shame but not a surprise, he'd been suffering weight related health issues for a while.

Given I'm suffering a severe chest infection sort of hoping Gooseberry doesn't count former DDP co-hosts as massive deaths.

I have just checked and apparently you can see Jessica on UK TV six times a week. Who knew? That Angela Lansbury is on the box more often than Newsnight!
