American Artist Jasper Johns (b.1930) will not be travelling from New York to London for the opening of a major retrospective of his work at the Royal Academy. One of the curators said he is a very private person and he is 87.

Alive on Wiki at the moment. Nothing on Twitter.

Make sure you scour the credits for those actors who may still be alive.

Well i presume there is a buying readership. I just wander into Sainsbury's and casually leaf through the pages. I presume that most of the revenue comes from advertising of the sort of tat your Grandma would have rejected for being too tacky in the 70s. I think that the healthy scepticism that goes with this is looking for the faint spark of fire that has generated a lot of smoke and the potential that they might occasionally get one right.

This week National Enquirer ran a sad last days special featuring: Dianne Carroll (walking with stick) Billy Dee Williams (wheelchair) Drew Barrymore (fat)???? Diane Keaton (wishful thinking) John Travolta (Just in case) and some other people I had not heard of.

With an appearance by Shane McGowan. Good episode.

Doing better than Crystal Palace at least they can find the net.

My 1000 name long list is essentially a memo pad not everyone on it is circling the drain but they have been of interest at some point. I am using it to also track unusual (non DDP) picks but I put them out in the public domain and still get a unique joker.

Why do you think I compile those lists?

J P Donleavy was my sixth hit in Silent. More hits in this now than GI Generation.

My theme team joker and a joker in the Jokers Deadpool.

When I lived in Cheltenham we were at the vets one day and this guy walked in really posh suit. Yuppie type. walks up to the counter and said I am here to pick up the tablets for (starts mumbling) Mr Zippy.

Right Jean-Claude do you want the good news or the bad news? Well its the same we are not leaving after all.

Our first hamster was called Ripley. Later we had Delenn and Sheriden and poor old Sheriden died the same day Sleeping in Light was shown in the UK. Some of you may know what I am talking about.

Give the guy a break. When I won the 2014 Inverse Deadpool it went in my sig for the next 12 months. Take glory where you can get it.

At St Pancras station waiting to catch the Eurostar to Paris for a meeting tomorrow.

We have had two kittens in the past 12 months called Komugi and Meruem.

Budgies are great pets. When I was at Uni my GF (now my wife) used to write to me. Her budgie sat on the end of her pen and pecked the edge of the paper so ended up with patterned letters.

To be honest I think he is over-rated as a Director

You beat me to him. I had to go for Peter Sallis instead. He was on my draft shadowlist for next year.

If there is ever a DL Con in Brussels you should get yourself some food at this stand in the Gare du Midi.

Another one for Advent Avalanche.

The other guy is married to Shakira and her hips don't lie.
