Update for Peter Thomas (thanks to eagle eyed YW) brings the first hit in the Doctor Who category. Still waiting for the US Presidential team to get a hit (do we know if any of them are ill?)

He playing catch up

Mrs B has recently started playing a lot of J-Pop export band ONE OK ROCK which she blasts round the house whilst decorating. Some surprisingly good songs

That was really annoying I was in the car at 4pm and had to listen to Feedback

All the old dudes....

There are a good number of likely hits. David Prowse and Sandy Gall look like the sorts of picks who you might um and ah about adding in but if they go you feel but if they were left off an went you would be thinking Patrick Moore all over again.

My theme team has a lot of uniques probably because Book em Danno's Mum didn't let him out to play this year.

OK if we are going to break the record then we need 15 hits. Here are the 15 that I think most likely to do it for us. Billy Graham Tony Booth Leah Bracknall Leslie Phillips Robert Mugabe King Michael of Romania Nobby Stiles Jill Gascoine George Bush Snr David Rockefeller Pope Benedict XVI Bruce Forsyth Desmond Tutu Joost van der Westhuizen Errol Christie However in compiling that list my first draft contained twenty names so hoping for a good year. There are three ladies who I am not sure are worthy of inclusion this year The Queen, Betty White and Honor Blackman.and there are four people whose illness trumps their fame (in my eyes) but I think we could see a good score.

If no-one else is doing it or have done it. I am going to do bios for H. There are an awful lot of them.

It is stupidly early on a Sunday morning and I'm in Birmingham airport. Guess where I'm going?

I'm in agreement.

Hey I got a bye. Second Round here we come. Does save someone an embaressing first round thrashing....... ....probably me!

I maintain that lima beans are worse. Butter beans, as we call them. Not nice on their own, but they absorb flavours very well so they are great in soups, casseroles and I also use them in a salad with a hot garlicky dressing poured over them. And they are great for making chocolate bisciuts.

This is an extreme excuse not attend Trump's inaugaration.

I have not had chance to really get into this. Congrats DI but it was a bit disapponting.

She gave me my degree. One of the girls on the course was cross because she said about being given a degree by someone with merit rather than just who they had married but when it came down to it she gave the most magnificent curtesy.

American artist John Hubbard died back on 7th Jan. One of his pictures hangs in Rockingham Castle.

Don't think the Queen is a good pick She has fooled everyone with her Christmas capers.

OK I am late to the party but here goes 1. Queen Elizabeth II 2. Dick van Dyke 3. Donald Trump 4. Angela Lansbury 5. Paul Gascoigne 6. Stan Lee 7. Doris Day 8. Daisy Berkovitz 9. Greg Gilbert 10. Prunella Scales 11. Joost van der Weisthuizen 12. Prince Philip 13. Jimmy Carter 14. Shannen Doherty 15. Val Kilmer 16. Valerie Harper 17. Mary Tyler Moore 18. Stephen Hawking 19. Clive James 20. Chuck Berry 21. Olivia de Havilland 22. Jerry Lewis 23. Nobby Stiles 24. Ian Brady 25. Stefan Karl Steffanson

Death Impends, Rover & Toast all get a hit in a third category. GCReptile gets a second. Time & Handreka still to score.

As someone has nicked John Savident I will pick Roy Barraclough.

Sounded terrible on the Media show yesterday but he is still presenting it.

As YW says a unique for RockHopperPenguin.
