Strange for a Liberal whip to be so notable as that Wiki suggests, only a few years ago, and yet I have no memory of him at all.

I knew the name rang a bell when I saw it appear on Recent Deaths earlier... DDT vs Deadsox 0-2 William Henry Harrison Die-in-a-Month Squad (Death Impends) vs Heef 9-6

First provisional team for the final is in. Of course, person might not make it, but they are on holiday nearer the deadline, so wanted a team in just in case, to reduce Host Stress. Much appreciated!

Lost to Tom Brake. Might have died days before the Tories win Carshalton back off Tom Brake.

In his AMA on Reddit, some of his "how they found out" information did suggest liver issues. One of my reasons for taking a direct 2017 punt on him. I know you know this already...

Morrissey is a twat. Just on general principle, you know.

^ Catholicism?

Gist: lone wolf with gun, and homemade device. It failed to go off, so he set a neighbours flat on fire (with them inside), shot others. Tried to break into ours with gun, and a few other flats. Armed police response, plus shitloads of fire trucks. Small contretemps with police then ended when he shot himself. Best bit? Next day, checked on next door neighbour, as quite old and frail. Had slept through the entire thing, including parts of the tenement block being on fire!

Iron Maiden? Fantastic. Enjoy that. Speaking as someone who lived through a (very low-key) attack* once, these things can happen anywhere and everywhere, and if you stop to worry about it you can go mad. *So low-key, in fact, that the references to it on the BBC and other websites appear to have been deleted, which surprises.

Correction - he did get a QO, and I counted it. Bah, you can tell my brain's not co-operating today. As we were, then.

In fairness, I didn't expect there to be QO issues with how lenient they were. I might amend the rule next year. If the singer chap would like to get an obit anywhere, it'd clear things up, somewhat.

It's level, and I think you lead on age difference, off top of my head. However DI has 2 deaths awaiting obits.

I'll be having a rest soon enough!

Tomorrow's World appears to be a web-magazine rather than a newspaper? I would have come to an arrangement with Heef if he had PM'd me, but he didn't and this is the first I've seen that. Incidentally, the Semifinalists can send me teams for the final now. Dina Merrill gets her 3 points, even if it might now be irrelevant. DDT vs Deadsox 0-2 William Henry Harrison Die-in-a-Month Squad (Death Impends) vs Heef 6-6

Can always count on Prescott to do some calm and subtle campaigning...

Don't worry, that's that particular posters entire gimmick.

At this point, Jeremy Corbyn winning would be a bit of a laugh, and not much difference to Theresa May in terms of competence, imo. Alas, very unlikely. I mean, he's an OAP with a controversial past, who isn't very good at public speaking, the polls are against him, he commits PR errors every day, he's against a dour women whom there is no alternative opposition (and who beat a slightly crazy popular figure to the leadership), he gets no debate poll bounce, and even his own party are distancing themselves from him. There's also the belief he'd be a disaster at foreign policy and his domestic policy seems focused on a few rough areas of the map, while the Tories shoot all around the country trying to win Opposition safe seats. Sorry, just got a strong sense of deja vu for some reason...

Only 2028? Optimistic. Seriously, the Tory manifesto is shit, full of regressive uncosted policies at a time when the economic outlook is uncertain, to say the least. It's also full of stuff - the internet regulations plans, for one - which are authoritarian "nanny state" shit that they claim others come up with.

Who do you think will pay for it?

It'll be portrayed as a big success by the Mail and Express, and she will get her landslide.

January-April 2017 = 106 hits January-April 2010 = 56 hits So, you know, could have been worse. Or better, depending on your POV, of course! Pretty sure Messrs Christie, Downie and Meads are quite happy with a slow hit rate at this point in time...

In fairness, the ones last year were a bloody cacophony. Especially once they invited that UKIP chap, and the audiences seemed full of people who seemed the whole thing was designed for them to shout at the politicians.

Not seen it, but he's got Parkinsons iirc?

He's the one I asked my wife about, before submitting my DDP team. "Do you think he'll obit?" I asked her. She looked at me like I were daft and said "Of course he'll bloody obit, that book was huge." Should have asked her about Alan Aspin and Sasha Lakovic, tbh. Born 1959 iirc - revealed in one of the new stories at the time.

@Sir Creep Here is the Crowdsourcing. According to his twitter, he had the op in mid-March 2017. Here is more details. PS - Hey, 1/5th of my DDP team is fecked by now. These things happen.
