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

I love how they refer to his wife as Katie Goodland Katie Kane sound like a porn star I don't wish to be harsh but the eldest girl looks like she lost in the genetic lottery

She self referred her case to the Parliamentary standards committee so do you think she would cut her losses and resign or hope to tough out a recall petition which you seem to suggest would succeed? She could see it as a kick back at the SNP leadership if she felt wronged because that is not what they need right now (unless they could pull of a victory) Whoever wins the seat will only have about a year until the General Election

No any suspension of over 10 days from the house results in the triggering of a recall petition which would need to be signed by 10% of the electorate to trigger a by-election If she were canny (can't remember whether she still has the SNP whip or not) she would resign saying that she recognises her wrong doing and feels it can no longer justify her place in the house to put pressure on any future member of parliament who may be sanctioned in a similar manner in the coming months This could be a high risk strategy for the SNP though

Does it trigger a by-election automatically or a recall petition?

Yeah this has been really helpful in deciding which are priorities to down vote Quite like the White Town track that I was unfamilliar with prior to this though

@Thatcher gains the first unique hit in the game also their second hit in a second category with the demise of Keith Reid Thatcher does have enough uniques to win in this way but it is early days
