    Ideas and possibilities 2022

    As someone who worked for British Coal in its dying days. Scargill was both right and wrong but in someway being such a divisive figure made Margaret Thatcher's job easier. You only have to look at the way the UDM and Roy Lynk (on my DDP team) were betrayed to see what she really thought.

    British Character Actors

    If you were going to add any more to this list the following might be appropriate Jeanette Charles b.1927 - Q, Mind Your Language, Doctor Who Denise Bryer b.1928 - Star Fleet, Terrahawks, Hector's House Joan Plowright b.1929 - Mostly work on stage but some literary adaptations such as Return of the Native Pretty comprehensive list though

    Famous celebrity births , pregnancies and babies

    My brother is 8 years older than me. He did his degree when the grants were at the highest real term levels. I did mine in the last year before student loans were introduced. My father who grew up during the war encouraged us to continue our education because that option was denied him. We have struggled financially but I feel for my daughter's generation. I think the UK will be worse my eldest sister moved to Germany last year to be close to her daughter.

    Doctor Who

    The era looks fantastic but the stories and scripts feel unpolished and CC is the worst culprit I feel he is in need of a good script editor to tell him when something needs more work. S12 was an improvement on S11 but still needs work to be back where it should be.

    For some reason Donald Sutherland has been on my radar for a while. Did he have a health scare a while back?

    Thoughts and Opinions on the 2021 Deathlist

    Just looking at the data on my graph the longest gap I can find is 151 days in 2011 which followed Another long gap of 105 days. In 2003 the last hit was over 100 days before the end of the year but I do not have data for 2004 on my spreadsheet so I don't know when the first hit was in that year. 2013 has a gap of 96 days We are currently at 86.
