    Derby Dead Pool 2018

    Ricketts death jumps me up a little which now means me and Blight House are tied in 8th for best newbie I think? Also after much complaining early doors about my two near identical teams and them potentially stealing a top ten slot from someone else it has all worked out quite tidily as with four teams in joint 8th it actually has made virtually no difference.

    DDP Team Name Rejects

    If not for the Yanks we would probably be speaking Russian. There is a popular misconception in the US that the US turned the tide in World War 2 and won the war against Germany. In actual fact prior to the D-Day landings Germany were already losing the war to the Russians following some decisive defeats on the Eastern Front. It was then a race to meet the Russians in Berlin to stop them taking over the whole of Europe which the US did help with (and obviously having to fight on two fronts also weakened the German resistance to the Russians).

    Christ - that is possibly the most horrific thing I have ever read.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Living so close I thought that I would know more than I did - until I read this article I naively imagined that all the bodies from the plane would have vaporised at 31,000 feet - how wrong I was.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    I realise this is now yesterday's anniversary news but Cat's post led me to read this excellent article from The Scotsman that sets out some of the true horror that befell Lockerbie that night and in the following days - worth a read. Scotsman article

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    Yeah I think when we joined the EU that caused a recession in New Zealand (I know Oz and NZ different countries ) so can't expect Australia and New Zealand to be falling over themselves to do trade deals with us.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    RIP Incredible that someone as famous and talented as her can be dead for 6 weeks before it is reported (yet reality TV stars get instant QOs).
