Spade Cooley vs Banana 13-12 Boudicca vs Clorox 17-9 Slight pull back for Clorox.

Not to amplify that age gap, but it ("bitch", singular) has been pretty much as long as I can remember. Even at Primary it was one of the few zero tolerance swear words, when you could get away with a slap on the wrist for, say, dropping a paint bottle and yelling "Oh fucking hell" absentmindedly. Or so I hear...

Documentary footage:

Literally just got my edit in there after noticing some backtracking of sources!

Luis Enrique, former Barcelona manager, stands down as Spain manager for "serious family matters". A quick scuttle around Spanish twitter and Barca fan pages reveals either this matter is blood cancer and he is apparently in a bad way OR his daughter is seriously ill.

Clearly I've unleashed a monster! Watch out in the 2020 DDP! Surprised only one person picked a football who proved The Only Way is Deathex, a pun so bad I cringed as I typed it. Spade Cooley vs Banana 10-9 Boudicca vs Clorox 17-6

Helen Legh will see TJS back to joint 3rd with a QO, which, as she was a current presenter for the BBC, is 100% certain from the BBC local pages.

Never believe any Vatican rumours until they've been denied by the Catholic Herald!

Damaris Hayman is 90 today! PS Another appears to be an alive ancient name is Hugh Lund (b. 1925) who played a Zarbi.

Remember folks, mass forum in-jokes are bad and grumpy Uncle Paul will delete them in a huff, but not delete the poser Nazi's shit, because that's cool and OK. Noted.

Is Franco Zeffirelli dead? The forums not really mentioned it yet...

Here you go: months to live prognosis according to French coverage of the new doc. I mean, we all knew that'd be the case with Stage IV pancreatic cancer, but yeah, he'll be a DL hit relatively imminently.

... is quitting the contest, apparently. Might be good news for Rory "Willz Award Winner for Prisons Minister of the Century" Stewart...

So this Barrymore/Morgan interview. As I don't really watch him that much, feck, Piers Morgan is a shit interviewer. Barrymore is aged and slurred but better than I'd thought, but clearly a (recovering?) addict with some form of bi-polar. I dunno, ever get that "wont be here in 5 years" feeling without any info to hand? Well, that.

Take care, drol.

Pick of the year.

I really am astoundingly good at picking DDP people one year too early.

This makes him more one to watch now than folk with some of the treatable cancers, sadly.

Sorry for your loss, Biblio.

OK, something of possible interest: Joan Ellacott is allegedly still alive aged 99. Costume designer on Deadly Assassin, but also a whole bunch of Guardian friendly meritorious productions.

Aye, well, you don't want to spy them all your days. That was my best go in 40 mins and I'm still not happy with the quality tbh...

I just assume planet Venus unless told otherwise... (The other Man in Black in greatest X-Files episode ever Jose Chungs From Outer Space btw? 2020 Deathlist top 5 pick Alex Trebek!)

That'll add weight to the Labour front benches!

By sounds of it, another Singleton and he'll be dead by tomorrow morning so I am too lazy to rowback the points now.
