    I had forgotten what he was respoonsible for. I wondered why such a reaction against a seeming non-entity. I then reviewed his criminal record and tweeted my understanding.

    Death Links

    When we were house hunting in 1997. We looked at a spacious semi-detached and it was tatty but comfortable at the end of the tour the estate agent took a deep breath and said "The owners have asked me to make it known to any potential buyers that the previous occupant took his own life in this house". Mrs Biblo was outta there like a shot.

    Thoughts On The 2018 List

    At this point in time we are only one hit behind last year's recordbreaking performance. At the moment I am thinking 10-12 total hits

    Nigel Kneale & Judith Kerr

    Judith is the only Writer to survive my wildcard curse. In my work game every player gets 50 picks from a list but they are all allowed a wildcard pick someone who is not on the list. Every year I pick a writer and I have had a good hit rate if not in the game year in the following year Gore Vidal, Jack Vance, Mary Stewart, Nicholas Fisk and Ursula K Le Guin. This year's pick is Clive King so will he join Judith or the others.

    Nigel Kneale & Judith Kerr

    I can imagine the conversation going something like: Judith: You are an actor? I am sure I have seen one of your films.. Eddie: Les Mis? J: No E: The Danish Girl? J: No E: The Theory of Everything? I won an Oscar for that one J: No. Got it! Jupiter Ascending God that was a crock of shit. Science Fiction should be dark and explore the impact of alien creature on human culture. E: Like Fantastic Beasts and where to Find Them? J: One more comment like that young man and you will be carrying your dopey smile home in a carrier bag.

    Nigel Kneale & Judith Kerr

    Harriet Evans‏ @HarrietEvans 6h6 hours ago More Judith Kerr at y'day's HarperCollins party. Authors who reckon themselves a bit too much: take note. She is rocking the most awesome jacket I have ever seen. She is drinking rosé. She takes the tube after meetings at HC rather than them ordering a car. She wrote Mog. SHE IS 93! 21 replies .101 retweets537 likes Reply 21 Retweeted 101 Liked 537 Direct message

    Statistics

    There has been a distinct death drought in the last month or so. My work game which has around 500 names in it has not had a hit since the 6th June. This is now 29 days. This is the longest that we have been without a hit since a massive 59 day gap between George Cole and Denis Healy (Aug-Oct 2015). I had 14 hits in the first quarter but only 9 in the second quarter of the year. Surely there has to be a big one soon.

    Pat Boone

    I could probably list 50 or more people over the age of 84 who do not have their own thread who might be more deserving of one

    Hope that does not come to pass. This is not the day to be stuck in a hot car. Obviously telecoms engineers do not get the same consideration as dogs........
