There was a comparison on the radio earlier to the 1268 Papal election. The debate lasted three years, during which 3 of the 21 Cardinal Electors died and the rest of them were locked into a palace until they came to an agreement. When that failed, the Cardinals were put on half rations of food and when that didn't work either, the roof of the building was removed.

Well, you were banned - permanently - from these forums in 2005 and you've only served eighteen years so far. Now you're back and still posting like a deranged idiot. I'm putting you on mod preview and you're going to be banned again unless you seriously improve on your quality control.

Nepal releases globetrotting 1970s French serial killer Charles Sobhraj on health grounds...

We thought David Lynch looked sad on his weather forecast today and he didn't mention any music, which is unheard of. Now we know why.

Trotskyist academic and Socialist Worker contributor John Molyneux, 74.

England needed to be much more aggressive IMO. There seems to be a complete lack of thuggery, menace and violence throughout squad. Too much focus on 'football' and far too little on putting the fear of God into the French, who everyone knows are infinitely worse at war than they are at sports.

New York Times obit for Bernadette Mayer. Genuinely surprised she hasn't -yet - had a UK one.

Davide Rebellin, 51, a bit of a cult figure in cycling due to his obstinate refusal to retire, has been killed in a road traffic accident only weeks after his final professional race.

Ah, one of my unique picks. I meditated for a good few minutes before deciding to select Bernadette Mayer, mainly over obit concerns...

The Sunday Times reported yesterday that the president of Equitorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema, is fighting prostate cancer and heart trouble. He is reported to want to leave office “to fight against death”. His weight is said to have shrunk to about seven stone. I mentioned him last year and got some stick for it, but he'll definately get a UK obit. One wonders what will happen to Nick Du Toit if the president carks it. For my sake, they'd better not let him out.

I've been keeping a list on my Echo Dot thing, i.e "Alexa, add Rolf Harris to my shortlist". I think it's worked quite well.

Joss Ackland, according to my dreams.

We are in correspondence with Diego and hope to resolve things in an amicable fashion. Please bear with us on this.

I'd be interested to know what more learned racing contributors thought about Ross Chastain's 'riding the wall' trick to gain several places in a NASCAR event. Is it the sort of lunatic act that makes him a candidate for this thread, or just a genius at work who had everything under control?

Deeply disappointed at the reinstatement of the appalling Suella Braverman as Home Secretary. She's a wrong 'un and there is something distinctly unsettling about listening to her rabid desire to fly refugees to Rwanda, her demonisation of benefits claimants, or her seriously flawed views about recreational drug users. To borrow a phrase from Ann Widdecombe, I'm convinced there is "something of the night" about Braverman and find it really depressing that Sunak didn't take this opportunity to kick her into touch. In any case, they'll all be lined up and shot when I take charge

But I'm not entirely sure who the Russians would consider to be the best worst option anyway.
