Joan Bakewell is keeping us up to date with health news

It is largely around funding. Independents do not have access to party funds (they may be funded by another means). Usually they are single issue parties or former party members who have lost the nomination but still want to stand. Many of them are on the hard left or the hard right. Probably easier to vote for at council level rather than national level

I vaguely remember reading that he and Morrissey were on the same team on Pop Quiz and Blackburn's constant inane chatter totally put Morrissey off.

Before Lonnie takes his leave we do need to have a knees up to this

I am getting Brian Mathew vibes about this. If he is back on the radio by the summer then I think we should forget him for a couple of years but if he has not returned to broadcast then I think he would be an interesting contender Allegedly the DJ referred to in Panic......

You could just copy mine and then update for your scores which are simpler...

oh no @RoverAndOut I think we cross posted

This song reminds me of the time my sister bought her children over for a visit and whilst she and my wife talked my daughter and her cousin were playing with her new phone which had some songs downloaded on it. They then choreographed a whole dance routine to this and performed it in the garden. I think this was the point where my sister and her husband decided he should join the military cadets.
