So it is all looking like a showdown on May 6th. Labour have parachuted in a defeated candidate from a neighbouring constituency who is characterized as an arch remainder but is also a doctor. Both fringes seem to be coming out of the wood work with at least three candidates trying to position themselves to the right of the Conservatives (as if). However the biggest current credible threat is that of the Northern Independence Party who will be fielding a candidate. As well as The North East party and the SDP. These could easily take a chunk out of the Labour vote allowing the Conservatives a win without increasing their share of the vote. However the will keep expectations low with the party in power doesn't win by-elections but the whole thing is relatively low risk for them unless they really collapse

Apparently James Follett died 10 January 2021

Why do you think the police were rounding up young women on Clapham common the other night

Only @DyingProberly has failed to score at the moment.

Labour have pulled closer since the election nationally and the Conservatives have suffered somewhat from Brexit realities and a poor start to the pandemic. The Conservatives didn't take this at a high watermark of 2019. A lot will depend on the candidate Labour puts up. If an outsider Starmer loyalist is parachuted in some left leaning members and voters might reject them allowing the Tories to sneak the seat without substantially increasing their vote

To be fair I looked for names I knew and started with the Scotland 1978 team. I have managed to get an unexpected unique hit though. At the moment your pick is a Schrödinger's Football Player. All you can hope is that his status is resolved one way or another. Clearly Mexican football fans do not hover over the Wiki editor waiting for a tweet that an elderly player has kicked for the final time. Otherwise, you can still win but not by that route.

Just enough for a Silver Screen team

If you can find an obit for him dated after the game started then he counts. If he was DOA then unfortunately not.

26. Yaphet Kotto ti, ba, di, gn @timegets a first hit and theoretically @Grim Up North should be in a winning position as they have four Bond hits but the remaining pick is Robbie Coltrane who is already a winning pick for @Toast and she has a unique. However GUN has more hits overall so if they bag themselves a unique they will steel him from Toast

I would suggest the answer is expensive mobile phones

Hello Lady Seed. If you want games you can instantly join I might point you in the direction of 20/20 +1 Welcome to the forum

The list is now behind the 2020 list. One year ago today (day 74) was the sixth hit. The next key dates are 6/7 April. When 2020 had its 7th hit and 2008 had its sixth hit.

The Old Crem did not enter a team after their hit with Martha Stewart. Murray Walker not a pick in this round.

No Murray Walker here!

I actually voted for Prince Phillip. First time I think he might actually go.

April 7th

Of course if you want some fast moving vicious cutthroat deadpooling the you can join 20/20+1 at any time

Chris Wilder sacked by Sheffield United. I think this is ungrateful and I think he would have been ideally placed to challenge for promotion in the Championship. No-one will save them from relegation now

Those that do not have an academic background will normally be notable (obitable) for achievements in other walks of life

Surely this should be in the Academics thread. No-one should be a University President without an academic background. Also in the UK we have Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors rather than Presidents
