Keep an eye on Alicia Kearns

I think that it might be wise for the Conservatives to adopt an interim leader and although it pains me to say it the most logical candidate might be Jeremy Hunt

Don't forget the run-off for the French Election #FrogsAtPollingStations

Time marches on as so we move into the Thirties with this competition It is quite fast and fun but you need to be on the ball but if you miss a round or two you can join in at any time Basically the aim of the game is to pick 20 candidates from the years 1922-1931.You need 2 from each year and you must have one male and one female from each year. Candidates only qualify if they have a national news article about their death in English and or an obituary. The game does not start until 1 January 2022 (UK Time Zone) and no teams can be posted before this time and will continue until the end of the year. As soon as one candidate from anyone`s list dies the pool will be immediately restarted and it is first come first serve. You can even be a bitch and steal someone`s entire list if you wish. It is a competitive game. The overall winner will be the person with most hits in the year. The pool restarts as soon as a link from the the qualifying Obituary is posted verifying age of the deceased (by their own standard).No two players can have duplicate picks and the age given in the article will be accepted as soon as the article is published and pasted to this site. It has to be decisive at the time the news breaks. If the age they give is different to the year of birth you don`t get a hit unless it is amended before another death that meets the criteria of a hit. There is no limit to the number of players and you can enter the round at any point. You may even miss some rounds if they are quick. You do not need an admin to confirm your pick if you have a QO to post your next round team but you may be challenged if it in any way suspect.

My daughter is 28 this month!!!!!

Yeah that was the sort of gap I was thinking. I would have been starting secondary school when these songs were in the charts. I may have felt equally disparaging about songs from the 50s

Makes Ladies by Flight of the Conchords even funnier

Odd fixation from someone I presume is much younger than me. Hope you are enjoying the Vitality Health Insurance ads.

Glad to see the back of this. Don't hate it but just seeing the title written down has meant that it has been going round my head all day
