Looks like Boris will side step a Portillo moment and parachute into Alan Duncan's Melton Mowbray constituency. Which provides a delicious cockney rhyming slang irony as Melton is the home of pork pies.

Was on Radio 4 this morning voice sounded like Janet Street-Porter crossed with an angle grinder.

Thanks for the vote of confidence everyone. I can confirm I will run a 2019-2024 By-election bingo game. It will open in a new thread sometime around the beginning of December but the stupid timing of this election means that players will have until 31st January 2020 to get their teams in.

Eric Carle (DDP) Joker John Andretti (5/4/3/2/1) Kirk Douglas (DDP) William MacPherson DDP

I would suggest only about four of those names are really Deathlisty

I take it Gustav Gerneth is no nearer an obit

November 1. Jerry Stiller 2. Katherine Jackson 3. Hugh Downs 4. John Andretti 5. William Russell

I am submitting my November team. Is it required?

Jim Naughtie is someone I always like. I thought he was good on Today and he has gravitas.

That way any Labour victory can be portrayed as a great night for the Conservatives.

This looks like it is cruising to another early finish and at the moment could be just a score draw. With the only losers being The people who didn't pick Paul Flynn and The British Electorate. Although it stays running until The Queen officially dissolves parliament. The new Parliament will be messy. Is there time for full scrutiny of candidates and it could be the ugliest and most poisonous campaign ever. However this might mean that the non death by elections might be more interesting. However before I get ahead of myself who wants me to run By-election Bingo 2019-2024?

New Zealand by 24 England by 17

Bit harsh that Stephen Moore didn't get a shout. Radio 4 should look after their own.

And Peppa Pig

English Language article but still from a German Source but it might galvanise the lazier sections of the UK media

She is on my radar from my writers theme team but yes she could go here

What are the chances with Chris Doleman. He was off my radar until a player picked him as a widcard in my work game but at the moment he could be the decider if he were to go in 2019

That is really what my Unusual Suspects team is. I top it up with people who have not been picked for the DDP in the past 6 six years but the poor showing this year might mean that those unpicked selections are getting too young to be realistic

Wow James Garbutt did not look young in 1974 when he played Ronson in Genesis of the Daleks

But now it is Hilda right?

Where did Dorothy Payne come from? Last time I checked it was Hilda Clulow
