I think that was most of the JNT era.....

I am thinking this is lucky that this happened this week and not when everyone was trying to get their MMMDP entries in

Royce Mills who has provided Dalek voices reported dead on Twitter aged 77. Appeared with Frankie Howerd in Up Pompeii

Her last book was published in 2017 and she was still giving interviews and going to functions so I was lulled into a false sense of security. The only thing I had her picked in was my Generations team. Massive miss for my DDP theme team.

Madrid this morning, the view from my hotel window

I am so sorry.

I got this message deathlist.net normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to deathlist.net this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be deathlist.net, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged. You cannot visit deathlist.net right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

I have not got on through chrome but I managed to get on via IE

Often they are code shares with other carriers.

Indeed I am. Just booked into my hotel. Here till Thursday.

It could be Rotterdam or anywhere. Phone call to Paul Heaton

At Luton airport waiting for my delayed flight to Madrid. I have already voted in the Euro elections as I will still be away on Thursday.

I presume they have had some state of the art venues open in the past 40 years so I imagine it will depend on what is available. I remember the contest being held in The Hague in 1980 because it was the first time I had heard of the place. Before that the only place I new in Holland was Amsterdam (from the song about the mice and windmills etc)
