    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Labour hate it because it's Tory policy. Lib Dems hate it because they are the pro-EU-iest of all parties. The SNP hate it because they think it fucks over Scotland. Plaid hate it because it's not written in Welsh. The Tory Remainers hate it because they want to Remain. The Tory Brexiteers hate it because it's not Brexity enough for them. The Scottish Tories hate it because it doesn't protect the fishing industry (as called by msc on this forum in 2016!). Jacob Rees-Mogg hates it because he stands to earn more money if there's a no deal Brexit. The DUP hate it because it doesn't declare atomic war on the Republic of Ireland. Frank Field likes it, so it's not all bad news for May...

    The Dead of 2018

    There's 34 episodes on repeat on Freeview in the next week alone, apparently! ftr it's never off those string of dull channels that focus on that sort of thing - True, Really, etc and their predecessors.

    Hooroo, Mate.

    Could crosspost with Folk yer surprised are still alive thread, but Reg Watson, one time producer of Crossroads and creator of Prisoner Cell Block H and Neighbours is apparently still alive aged 92.

    By-Election Bingo 2017-22

    OK, dont get too excited, but anyone got Edmonton for future reference? Also involving this MP: currently a trial on the go involving speeding, someone driving and an MP in the car. All very Chris Huhne, by sounds of it. EDIT- Yes, Joey has Osamor, so this will affect the game if she goes full Huhne...
  6. And TJ's is still open? If that guy doesn't get Leicester worker of the year...
  7. Even the Cup shortlisters are going now. (Also likely Deathracer and potential Alt Obit'er.)

    Do We Live In A Simulation?

    Yep, here's your problem. Someone set this planet to "evil."

    British Science Fiction Series

    It's the same guy, here he is in The Prisoner, on right hand of McGoohan (via Telegraph).

    Time Added

    Folk who try to improve team performances by use of stats heavy lists to target the best results. Think they were inspired by Rotten Ali.

    The Law of Averages.

    Every statistical coincidence I ever noticed in the DL has died a death as soon as its pointed out. (Due to, you know, coincidence...) So with that said, note that statistically, there's never been a dozen hits between 13th November and 25th December.

    Reality TV

    Implies you have seen CBB! None of these shows interest me in the slightest. Unless Pointless Celebs counts...

    Reality TV

    Hmm, checking it on Wiki, between 'appy 'Arry, her from the Inbetweeners, her off Eastenders and The Barrowman, that's probably more actually celebs I recognise than the last decade of Celeb Big Brother...

    The 12th Death of 2018

    Never 11 without the 12th. So I'll stick to OoO's advice, and go for Stirling Moss.

    Stan Lee

    A shame, but not unexpected given recent years. RIP.
  16. Yeah, although remember the reason Bill Clinton became President. All of the so called favourites didn't run because Bush Sr was unbeatable!
  17. Biden is a very good campaigner (he was crucial to the 2012 re-election with his constant touring of the rust belt) but he's far too old now to run for President. Bernie Sanders would lose, and is also far too old. Hilary Clinton was, is, and will be a terrible candidate. Really, 2020 hangs on who the Democrats pick. Every time they picked an old familar face, they struggle badly, like Hilary, Gore, Dukakis and the most depressing political candidate of all time, John Kerry. When they do well, they go for young, new and charismatic figures like 1992 Bill Clinton, or Obama, or even Kennedy going way back. They need more of that, and less of Hilary types.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Although given during 40s rationing, veg/milk/eggs/fruit were rationed but chippies weren't, I remain skeptical this would induce the nation to lose weight in 2018.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    % grossly exaggerated due to over-reliance on BMI which is fucking shite! I do agree that the price ratio for veg/cooking stuff to "cheap and easy shite" in supermarkets are skewed, however.
  20. Ah, see back in the 70s they did a "drugs are wrong" story, but between the crap SFX, crap monsters, crap acting, Tom Baker looking pissed out his tiny, and Lewis Fiander putting on a fake accent so weird it had to be a bet... no one but the Anorak Clad Wankers noticed. Anyhow, speeding away from Who: Chibnall is a cunt, yes. Broadchurch? Law and Order? Torchwood? that Munich thing? The Great Train Robbery? All fucking shite. And people LOVE the fucker. Killing Eve was fucking awesome though, it's getting a 2nd series next year. Enjoying Trust too, the Donald Sutherland Paul Getty kidnapping thing. Neither of which were written by Chris Chibnall, and it shows. I digress...
  21. ^ Thought you thought the aliens and monsters were shite? ^ Poor Handrejka, yer bringing her bete noire TV show into more threads than any of the geeks here lately!

    The Dead of 2018

    Did you hear Tithonus (of Troy) was seen visiting Le Duc Anh, drol? "I'm here to take longevity lessons from the master", the Greek told reporters.

    The Dead of 2018

    Now I have images of charon in Deathlist HQ: "Ok, all 6 are dead, but according to the Population Crisis Map, half a million cuntos were born in the same time period..."
  24. ^ Dunno which of you to be more worried about in that scenario tbh.

    Dead Poets Society

    I liked the Eye's tribute poem to Charlie Kennedy: A man of great Spirit. Though Alas in the end Too much of it.
