    Curse Of The Eurovision

    ...or celebrate.
  4. Some of those facts were uncovered by me earlier this afternoon, after many hours of research down at the Bodleian, with a quick run over to the Cornell Library to double check them.

    Sir Geoffrey Boycott

    It's an old English name. Geoffrey might might be related to Charles Boycott (from which we've taken the word) but I dunno.

    I Miss Badegg

    Is that strange? I'm glad DI got the nod - he actually dealt with the gremlins which hit the site about 20 seconds later. Hmm, suspicious timing...

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    Stumbling across things is always the way to go about things. Why, just this weekend, I was surprised to learn that... well, never mind that, but the bigger shock was that they've never been picked for the DDP before!

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    He had a bit of a contretemps in the 1980s with Ursula le Guin about women's place in FSF, I vaguely recall. I've read one of his books years back: Hothouse. Impenetrable shite. RIP, though.

    Sinéad O'Connor aka Shuhada' Davitt

    I do live with it, and yes, the services for it are fucking shite. I do hope Sinead O'Connor finds some peace with her demons. I still think she's a bit of a twat. Much like I wish Gazza peace, but he's a grade A twat too. As indeed am I.

    The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2017

    Forgot I had picked him. Beyond one or two folk I mostly went for famous old folk, and they're winding up more frail than the terminal cases!

    Her defence lawyer, Mr O Pistorius, knew a thing or two about getting off like that.
