    Scavenger Hunt Bingo Deadpool II

    Once again thanks for flagging this up. A quick look suggests this could massively increase the finishing list and possibly throw in some ties. Update coming when I am on my laptop not phone.

    Room 101

    Well it is as you can imagine Mrs Biblio used to having the upstairs of the house to herself even when I am working from home was headed for her bath as God intended. I encountered her on the landing and accosted her. However in an effort to catch up with her in the lack of clothes I was rather hasty in using my foot to remove my trousers and I heard a sharp crack from the phone in my trouser pocket. Fortunately it is only a cheap phone & the damage is not too bad. But considering that neither of us are in the flush of youth it is a pretty embarrassing way to wreck your phone. Just glad it was not my work phone.

    Room 101

    I am not a massive technology addict but I have had a number of work phones and personal devices. I have dropped them in water and left them in taxis but I always wondered about how people managed to crack their screens so easily. I had never cracked a screen...... Until the first day of my furlough when I cracked my personal phone screen in the most embarrassing way possible.....

    Soapstar to Superstar Dead Pool

    Team sent. It was my Liz Dawn team updated off the top of my head. No new research. Probably why I forgot Julie Goodyear

    New round started with the death of Stanley Ho. Nicking other people's picks is legit if you get in first

    @YoungWillz gets his third hit in Kevin Bacon territory so he now needs two more uniques or two more Kevin Bacon co-stars. Thanks again for flagging this up.

    Glenda Jackson

    Her recent turn as King Lear should give her some comebacks on that little git. The one about the serpent's tooth springs to mind

    Read Any Good Books Lately?

    I read a fair bit of Jean Plaidy when I was at school. Very easy to read and quite informative. Mrs Herald is currently reading The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel

    Read Any Good Books Lately?

    I bought Moon over Soho and Whispers Underground from the Works on two books for a fiver. Libraries are great but they have limited stock. There is a charity book stall at our station paperbacks 50p Hardbacks £1. However if I never bought another book. I still wouldn't run out for years.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2021

    I think we need a really old fashioned Leftie on the list next year. Arthur Scargill or Dennis Skinner seem to be good candidates

    British Science Fiction Series

    She doesn't look too bad in that picture but I think she is avoiding scrutiny while William Russell lives and breathes. There was a run down of the top ten oldest living Who actresses and writers on Twitter the other day CAF got nowhere near. Claire Bloom didn't make the list and she worked with Charlie Chaplin

    DEATHS OF THE SILVER SCREEN DEADPOOL

    It would be terribly unfortunate if this and the Scavenger Hunt came to an end at the same time

    Tell Laura I Love Her was another one that fell foul of that rule

    DEATHS OF THE SILVER SCREEN DEADPOOL

    So @msc gets his first hit with George Mikell and @Clorox Bleachman gets their second hit with Michel Piccolo meaning they only need JLT to win. Four way race
