Coincidentally, given his extreme right wing views, the current leader of the National Front - or what's left of it - is also called Tony Martin.

I reckon you should award yourself a bonus for sorting this out.

A very tenuous link, but a story about the February murder of artist, poet and sculptor, Peter Flux in Paignton. Flux was a friend of John Lennon and worked for Apple records in the early 1970s. A practicing Buddhist, he was stabbed to death by his crack addicted neighbour when he declined to lend her £80.

Ok, time for someone who understands the scoring system to tot up the scores for 2018. If anyone wants to take on the job, let me know. To be helpful, here's my two fallers.

Ten years ago, I missed out on a AODP daily treble bonus by a few hours. At the time it had never been done, although someone might have managed it since. https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?hl=en#!searchin/alt.obituaries/Ddt/alt.obituaries/dPCtaBts5J4 I must put a team in for 2020. When I first entered the only Deathlisters on board were Deadsox and Drunkasaskunk!

Very poorly by the looks of it.

Lord Bramall's victim impact statement was read in court by his solicitor at Carl Beech's sentencing today.

He doesn't look like he's planning to go anywhere soon, but his health is looking increasingly perilous. I'll report back if he makes it to the September gig in London. Thought I'd post another Prine classic, In Spite of Ourselves, just because it never charted and that's a shame.

Honor Blackman in the next few days.

Crosby is quite engaging on Twitter and regularly responds to queries, so it might be worth asking him straight out if he considers himself 2020 deadpool fodder. Someone else will have to do it though, because I'm not brave enough.

Ah well, I thought as much. Will give my online sleuthing a rest for a while.

Good stuff thanks, I appreciate your efforts Beech has claimed Saudi involvement in his alleged abuse, so the above could unfortunately fit in with his warped (and highly suspect) narrative. I don't know anything about this sort of thing, but I take it there's no online database which logs where these planes have actually been? Today Beech gave further evidence to insist one of his schoolmates was murdered - deliberately run over - by the VIP gang, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary - i.e nobody else seems to remember it. He went on to claim the gang shot his horse dead in front of him in broad daylight in the grounds of Hampton Court. Unfortunately for Beech, this version of events remains uncorroborated. The trial continues. The movie will likely follow.

Got a plane question... For the last few weeks I've been avidly following the trial of Carl Beech, aka 'Nick', who stands accused of lying to police about being abused by an underground network of celebrity/prominent child abusers. Anyway today Beech made a startling new claim in court that he was taken by private jet to Paris to be abused. Furthermore, he claimed the private plane in question was a Boeing 747. My question is how many privately owned 747s are out there? More specifically were any of these planes privately owned in the late 1970s when this heinous alleged incident was alleged to have happened?

Little Richard - and soon!

I'm going to give Rotten Ali another month to round up the scores for 2018 and then - don't all stampede at once - I'll be putting the job out to tender.

Not recently, but when I was at college many moons ago, I used to be able to see them from the window of my politics class.

In case you didn't already know, this week is National Swift Awareness Week. Before you die, please take a few minutes to find out why they're perhaps one of the world's greatest birds.

Bryan Marshall, who I remember playing an evil psychiatrist on Prisoner Cell Block H, has, er, "gone ahead"

Seeing as you mentioned him, here's his signature, before and after he was tortured.

Not that I'd want to be seen to be going out of my way to defend Rolf Harris, but it should be noted his conviction for assaulting Wendy Wild was quashed upon appeal. The evidence for this particular offence was tenuous at best and almost resulted in Harris' other convictions against different victims being quashed as well, because his defence team argued that Wild's false testimony had turned the jury against him. In the event, the other eleven convictions were upheld. The Mirror have removed the story describing Wild as a victim from their site.

So, I was reading about American cyclist Lawson Craddock, who broke his shoulder on the opening stage of this year's Tour De France. This would be enough to make most mere mortals quit the race on the spot, but pro-cyclists know how to suffer and Craddock has kept going, in agony, through nine stages and is still in the race. This made me think of other examples of sportsmen battling through adversity. For example rugby's Wayne Shelford didn't let having his scrotum stapled back together stop him completing a match. Not did Japanese Olympic gymnast Shun Fujimoto consider a broken knee any good reason to deter him from taking part in the rings exercise, achieving a perfect dismount from eight feet above the ground. Anyway, I thought I'd start a thread about sports men and women who, for better or worse, fight their way through the pain barrier. Feel free to post contemporary and historical examples here.
