Suggestions of family gathering but I am seeing ominous mentions of RadarOnline so might be in the moon is made of cheese territory.

The West Tyrone By-election is on 03rd May. The likely to win Sinn Fein candidate is Orfhlaith Begley. Not sure how that is pronounced Orla?

Unfortunately Katie Price grief stricken at loss of her inspirational/devoted/exploitative * mother is too much for a tabloid editor to resist * delete as appropriate

I also might be being harsh on Christopher as he is not the sole beneficiary of the estate but he is the literary guardian of his father's works. A bit concerned what will happen when Christopher dies. Will there be a Tolkien free for all as the extended family try to make as much money as possible. Contrast Christopher with say Brian Herbert and it looks a lot more respectful.

One of the clever things that Roy Clarke did in Keeping Up Appearances was to name the four sisters with flower names. Hyacinth, Daisy, Rose and Violet but not draw any attention to it.

The worst performance in recent years was 2011 when we had 7 hits so I think there are many more to come. The latest that the fourth death has come in the last five years is day 176 which is 25th June 2014 and we had 10 hits that year. No need for panic.

To be fair. I think Christopher has made more money out of his father's literary legacy than the dear old Prof. did during his lifetime.

My bad.

When she goes both the oldest living former titles will pass to Republican spouses. First Lady: Laura Bush (b.1946) one year older than Hilary Second Lady: Lynne Cheney (b.1941) seven years older than Tipper Gore but only three years separate Tipper, Marilyn Quayle and Jill Biden.

No LA is beautiful, very sunny....... oh

Barbara Bush on 24th April.

or Murder She Wrote?

My sister in law is a teaching assistant and one kid in her class was called Amarni

I hear the sound of the barrel being scraped this week after a bumper crop last week.

If the whole family trapsed in there would be a suspicion of saying goodbye.

Courtney Love was a guest judge on Ru Paul's Drag race last week. Whilst she looked OK (not great just OK) she was completely out of it. When she spoke nothing she said made sense. I was really worried about her. I probably won't put her on my list for 2019 but if I turned on the radio tomorrow and it was announced she was dead I would be shocked but not surprised.

Every street in Essex.

One from a few days ago illustrator Laura Roslof had died aged 69. She produced the infamus Illusion of the Decapus drawing for the orange edition of the Dungeons and Dragons module B3 The Palace of the Silver Princess which resulted in TSR executives recalling all the editions from distributos and even going round the office after the staff had gone home removing any copies which were all then sent to a massive landfill site. Jean Wells' text was rewritten by Tom Moldvey and the illustrations altered and the module republished with a green cover. The few orange editions that survived are now collector's items.

I have just discovered something I never knew.

Today is day 100. Still difficult to tell where this year is going. Currently level with last year's record breaking performance but the three years that reached 14 hits behind 2008, Level with 2003 ahead of 2015. I think we need a hit in the next month.

I think the people who are dead page stands alone but the other three could merge.

Get go.

She was outside Downing Street making the Francis of Asissi speech on the day of my Mum's funeral.

I actually meant former superfan and unofficial advisor to JNT Ian Levine.

Yeah apparently he has now totally disavowed Doctor Who. Is he on anyone's lists?
