The start of the year looked a lot like 2020 and this little double hit has occurred in the same place as last year when the went on to have another six hits. The worst performance on this graph is two hits from this point so 11-15 is the hit range based on existing data Last year the next hit was day 304 which this year falls on Halloween

It will be a sad day as I always liked Roy and he had a vast knowledge of parliamentary history

Saw on a bookshelf in a gift shop a book by Roy Hattersley on The Cavendish Family. His book on the years between the wars was very good so I was quite interested but £16.99 for a paperback is a bit steep especially on my budget. However it did get me thinking that dear old Roy must be worthy of consideration for 2022 as noone has ever looked at him and said "I wonder how he manages to look so healthy" I expected Shirley Williams to out live him so howabout a politically balanced double act for 2022 of Hurd & Hattersley

Bouteflika & Greaves bring me up to 10/50

Was watching the 1983 BBC adaptation of Jane Eyre recently so I will add my voices to those calling for more attention for rent a victorian lawyer Colin Jeavons

That doesn't really help at the selection stage

@mscgets a hit with Jane Powell but it is still a two horse race to the finish

Once again congrats to @chilean wayand thanks to @MariNisia It frequently seems to be the way in this pool that players get consecutive hits. CW is now joint second. 1921 Elizabeth Kelly/Ray Lawler 1922 Ruth Bidgood/John B Goodenough 1923 Gloria Whelan/ Henry Kissinger 1924 Priscilla Pointer/Sheldon Harnick 1925 Ysanne Churchman/Pete Murray 1926 Gudrun Ure/Leonard Fenton 1927 Leotyne Price/Kenneth Anger 1928 Denise Bryer/Jean Marie Le Pen  1929 Patricia Routledge/Clifford Rose  1930 Edna O'Brien/Bill Treacher

Yes when I did her write up for my work game I caused quite a stir with the vitriol I asked whether she will be remembered as the faux scouse pop Princess or the bastard mother of the worst excesses of reality TV.

Congrats to @chilean wayand thanks to @MariNisia 1921 Elizabeth Kelly/Ray Lawler 1922 Ruth Bidgood/John B Goodenough 1923 Gloria Whelan/ Henry Kissinger 1924 Priscilla Pointer/Sheldon Harnick 1925 Ysanne Churchman/Pete Murray 1926 Gudrun Ure/Leonard Fenton 1927 Leotyne Price/Kenneth Anger 1928 Denise Bryer/Jean Marie Le Pen  1929 Patricia Routledge/Clifford Rose  1930 Edna O'Brien/Bill Treacher

The danger of a good year it uses up some of the hits that might have just lasted into this year. A slow Autumn might bode well for 2022

A name I remember from my motorcycle sticker collection and because I had noone to swap with I stuck my spares on alsorts of boxes. Some of which I have only recently got rid of

I think there is a real difference between FFBI and people you (generic being) haven't heard of. There are a small number of us on here who know more than is considered reasonable about a certain UK SF show and we get caught out when people like David Fisher, Philip Latham & Jane Baker do not get QOs. I know nothing about baseball or wrestling so you are unlikely to see those types of names on my lists but they clearly have fame credentials which are outside my frame of reference

However the biggest story is who has stayed put either Priti Patel knows where the bodies are buried or Boris wants us all to know how much he hates us.

But did he have the biggest pile of cash?

There was an idea in Punt Pool (iirc) that the game runner essentially creates a Star Chamber of maybe five or so individuals who for borderline picks rule on their eligibility a simple 3:2 majority allows them in. Otherwise it is no QO no point which means player must make the judgement for themselves
