It has been his habit to winter in South America. If he stays at home again then I think he could be an excellent pick for next year. If he wintered in South America and flew back every week to present Strictly it's no wonder he's near fucked now! I think he left for warmer climes around Christmas once his Strictly duties had been discharged but having said that until last year Len Goodman was judging both Strictly and Dancing with the Stars often in the same week.

The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

In response to RA. ( I am not going to quote the whole post) I am also not going to get into a debate. I am firmly on the remain side believing Europe is better with Britain in it and we will be bigger in the world as part of Europe. But social media is not going to help because either you end up in a massive circle jerk of people who think the same as you and convince yourself that you are home and dry because no one is disagreeing with you (this messed up the lefts head at the General Election) or you end up in a slanging match with someone who you are never going to convince to change their mind, whilst all the undecideds avoid the forums like the plauge because they are full of rabid haters. However I am interested in the fallout. Cameron has had a dire campaign right from the word go, to be fair Osbourne has done better, May has kept her head down (shrewdly?) and Jeremy Corbyn has been a bit of a no show. The Tory in fighting means that business as usual after the referendum is not possible. Andrew Bridgen has already indicated that even if remain win Cameron will face a challenge and if Leave win there is no way Cameron can stay on as PM. The presumption will be that Boris will become PM under such circumstances but where then is the left of the Tory party, people like Ken Clarke and Dominic Grieve do they sit on their hands until 2020 or do they vote with their feet which could easily wipe out the slender Tory majority. -

I don't think they're languages per se but 'alphabets' for want of a better word. You can write down a word or phrase using both 'alphabets' and they're still pronounced and mean the same. There are variations. Mandarin and Cantonese are essentially different languages developed from the same source.

Is that higher or lower? On a similar thought when he is in hospital does he, every time the nurses enter his room say "Here they are they're so appealing come on dollies do your healing"? Thought not.....

Those are her emoticons, right? Not totally sure if they make me feel more or less sympathetic in this horrible situation This is not the sort of pick I like but she is a Doctor and she is very aware of what is happening to her. Does that make it easier or harder? I think this is her way of dealing with it. Respect to her and it is very sad.

Yes it could but it could equally be gone in a month. Those Lords look pretty topplesome to me. I think that is part of the tension. It might even outlive by-election bingo.

I think the DL committee should get some kudos for this hit. There was a lot of pressure for Ali to be included for the past couple of years and they bring him back just in time for the main event. Skills or Luck?

Bad news folks. Work seems to have blocked the site. This may be just a new firewall. See if it clears in a few days. -
Hate to point this out, but having too much time on my hands I've noticed Deathray appears to only have 4 cricketers. There was a bit of back and forth with Deathray's V but checking back he had Len Maddocks. Good Spot Rover

For me Muhammad Ali was the first recognisable international sportsman.

Just seen this vid and thought Francis Rossi was the Duke of Edinburgh.

Fairly balanced report on the BBC News tonight, basically he'd been seeking help because he was becoming hooked on painkillers which he was using to maintain his ability to perform. He should've based his style on Val Doonican I do get it that he got addicted but what I don't get is why he waited so long to do that hip surgery at first place.... well, poor man.... Cos he was PRINCE and he was FUNKY so he was probably in FUCKING DENIAL about the whole thing. could it have had something to do with him being a Jehovah's Witness?

If we have a hit before 12th June then we are still ahead of every year except 2008 which had already reached 9 hits by now. However this time last year we were in a 42 period where we had six deaths (one a week). However the early promise of this year seems to be fading.

Carla Lane was significant.

Erm, I count 15...? That is a much nicer number. My bad.

Ok thanks for the corrections. Have edited the lists and my masterlist accordingly. I think the cricket one was the toughest for players to complete.

I hate to use Bowie for another example of album release But he didn't do a full media tour to promote it.

If anyone notices a mistake please let me know and I will see what can be done. Good luck to everyone. Waits...........
