There is a missing word "Duo" Whoops.

Can we just review the significant impact of Kate Bush and the influence she had. First female artist to have a self penned number one single. First solo female artist to have a number one album. The one tour she did do was doing things that Madonna was acclaimed for 5 years later. and on the subject of the Eurythmics the song writing of Lennox & Stewart have produced more hits than any other excepting Lennon & McCartney.

Well I didn't know that. Kate didn't even get a mention but the scope was too broad. Her stock has risen considerably in recent years.

If you vote you can see the status of the current voting. There needs to be a massive influx of votes for Kate Bush. If there was a UK version she would be one of the first just behind Beatles, Stones, Bowie & Queen.

Baroness Trumpington to retire from The House of Lords.

In and Out Burger is not an inspiring brand name. Which route will it be going out?

My Auntie arranged a Golden Wedding for my Grandparents a year early to ensure a suitable gap before her own 50th Birthday.

It is very hard. Last Autumn we lost two of our older cats in less than two weeks but it got to the stage where keeping them going was going to be worse. They have grown with you and you have given them a good life. Mourn them but then remember their whole life. Thoughts are with you Joey.

I don't see her dying in the next 10 years.

I think if they had given it to her this year they may have been accused of popularism because of the high profile adaptation. She will win it sooner or later probably sooner.

I have come to this very late but was watching the Sky adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Going Postal. It is very good. Superb cast.

Literature goes to 62 year old Kazuo Ishiguro so it will be a few years before we can use the headline The Day of Remains.

Happy Birthday to Dudley Simpson who is 95 today.

That's Matthew Wilder.

There is a hierarchy on Radio 4 that should be noted. Politics, High Culture (this includes Pop Music if the producers listened to it at Uni (e.g. David Bowie), Business, Public Service, Sport and finally Low Culture. For Radio 4 purposes Cricket is considered as High Culture and not Sport.

I do not think that the Deathlist names are purely clickbait. I mean how many times does Perez de Cueller appear in the Daily Mail sidebar of shame?

My favourite Sandy Gall story is that the producer of the News at Ten used to summon Reginald Bosanquet to his office at about 9pm every night and make him walk along a line he had marked out on the floor. If he was unable to walk the line the producer would yell Send for Sandy Gall. Which may explain while we are still discussing Sandy Gall, 30 years after Reggie was pushing up the daisies.

That Guardian obituary is a travesty. I saw his Falstaff and it was fantastic. The whole production was so good we went again.

You do.

Which I thought would be done and dusted by now.

At a conference today about chemical regulation post Brexit. It is very depressing no plan industry against leaving and even Tory MEP horrified at the situation we are in. Need cooperation otherwise business faces complex and expensive duplication.

Not a hit then.

Joint 2nd for me. This is a high scoring year. Normally you need to be looking at less than 20 to be in with a shout.

Did he get a BBC obit?
