But with Iain Duncan Smith it was a case of once the letters were in he felt that he was electorally damaged and went anyway For the Conservative party it is a case of what is the worst possible outcome both in terms of individuals losing their seats, potential for future promotion and the prospect of a Labour Government

Frank Field was my reserve pick for Advent Avalanche but I am perhaps beginning to think that without some primary evidence to the contrary he might be over stressing how close he is to the drain

My clock say 9am so I am hoping we are open and I am picking Dame Deborah James

Boris Pahor has finally gone hopefully heralding an era of clearing out of other Boris' that have survived longer than people expected

Boris Pahor a hit for me

Boris Pahor has died so I replace him with Richard Franklin

It is clearly endorsed by the organisation as their loyalty card is called a Sparks card

Was running through possible MMMDP picks this morning and Lester was about Fourth on the list

Cunning move by Spurs to host the Rugby League Challenge Cup final yesterday. There was actually Silverware on the premises!

@Hell has Giorgio Napolitano

Well someone is going to need to be quick off the mark on Tuesday if they want him for MMMDP now you have gone and spilled the beans

Claudia Webbe has lost her appeal against her conviction.

Will you sack the manager if you end the season with no silverware?

My concern is the sheer amount of damage that they are doing in the interim including dismantling the infra-structure of democracy which could hold them to account. In some ways this does have the feel of the Major years when almost everything went wrong for the government and the public came to the conclusion that 13 years on the opposition benches was the right solution.

Pictured at the Chelsea Flower Show in the papers yesterday. This one from the Times doesn't look too bad but in the Mirror she looked quite frail.

I understand that Peter Purves will be taking part in the Bus parade for the Platinum Jubilee and will be on the Sixties bus

I know what you mean every time I watch that film it feels natural these two should be together but clearly that was not the story the writers wanted to tell. However I think Andi McDowell is great in Groundhog Day

There was almost a whole month gap in hits and then two rapid ones which change the finishing landscape Even so this looks like being one of the shorter games

Indeed Joe Pignatano is the sixth overall hit for both @Toast and @Perhaps For Toast this is just another addition to their tally and does not bring any new ways to win but might be important in deciding later ties For Perhaps this is a first hit in the Baseball category and therefore they are down to needing a British Cabinet Minister to win. Unfortunately these are heavily in demand and a lack of unique leaves Perhaps at a disadvantage as three of his 'outs' are taken by players whose claim trumps them but there are two new outs to add to the list. We are now up to 19 1. John Aniston (ro) 2. Vasily Borisov (to) 3. Peter Brooke (ph) 4. Irene Camber (to) 5. Kenneth Clarke (ro) 6. Norman Fowler (ro) 7. Tom Gayford (ro) 8. Gordy Giovenelli (to) 9. Roy Hattersley (ro) 10. Douglas Hurd (ro) 11. Nigel Lawson (mc) 12. James Mackay (bp) 13. John Morris (bp) 14. Koji Murofushi (to) 15. John Nott (ph) 16. Bob Richards (to) 17. Bill Rodgers (bp) 18. Norman Tebbit (ro) 19. Anthony Zerbe (ro)

I think I changed it in the masterlist but that was after I had copied the text Will edit to amend

After 20 hits the leaderboard looks like: MariNisa - 5 Yvonne - 3 Bibliogryphon - 3 Hell - 2 Arghton - 2 Death Impends - 1 Lady Fiona - 1 Doorslammer - 1 Chilean Way -1 Grimgrass - 1
