Not picked in the DDP this year which is a pity as he had one of the best write ups on the site

Just glanced at a picture of David Tennant from his new play Good and my first thought was that it was Charles Hawtrey

Mean date for the fifth hit is 22nd May but if you eliminate the years where the fifth hit has already happened it goes out to the 21st June I may need to update my data to include all years we have data for

May 24th

I think Nigel Lawson gave up when he kept coming second in the most loathed Nigel competition every year

Making (Funeral) Plans For Nigel

Glad to see the back of his brexity climate denying formally fat arse

Just been to see the new Dungeons & Dragons film. It is pitched absolutely perfectly. So much fun

Well not much else is happening....

I was surprised that MMMBop was so quickly rejected in this game as it is a good earworm @Book may give you their blessing to run an American version if you were so inclined. However there would be a lot of overlap

If you say to any brit "Tell me what you want" it is a national law to follow it up with "What you really really want"

First shared hit between the main list and the crowdsourced list

I say this will probably last until about Thursday The bottom seven tracks have about 180 points which would require 30 players to concentrate on getting rid but I think the stage we are at that is not going to happen At 25 players voting a day there will be a net down vote every day of 50 points which gives us around 3-4 days of voting left before the bottom group become unsustainable

edited my post to correct

This date for a third hit fits within the range for a middling year. Mean date for the fourth hit based on the above data is 14th April

Defo Premier League in the days of 2 points for a win it would have been much tighter

Of the Spice Girls track this one is probably the one I would have upvoted. Though that is probably because my daughter played it all the way through our holiday last summer because she was using it in a show

This year Premier League relegation battle is the tightest it has ever been with 4 points separating the bottom nine clubs The BBC have just published the chances of survival Half the Premier league clubs now have a different manager than they did at the start of the season, some clubs changing more than one
