Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

No-one is to waste their pick on Kate Bush just to use the December Will Be Tragic pun.... ....oh wait

Jeremy is 70 years old but regularly walks and cycles if he dies suddenly there will be conspiracy theories abound (cf Robin Cook). However TM cannot assume he will be leader of the Labour party in 2020.

Er, there wasn't an election in 1962. I think that is the point. In which case I've missed it. After a series of bad by-election results the Tories had a major reshuffle known as the night of the long knives. It helped for a while but MacMillan was eventually replaced by Douglas-Home who lost in 1964. Where's the analogy? Gaitskill died in 63 to be replaced with the more electorally appealing Harold Wilson. If McMillan had gone up against Gaitskill in 62 he would probably have bought himself a better mandate and strengthened his hand within the party.

At this time of the year the UK will be on GMT BST is GMT+1 Best to use GMT.

Well thanks for the mention. I will play just got to think of the right person to pick. It should keep us feeling really festive. Are you mixing time zones you mention BST. EST & GMT?

Well I didn't know that. In the spirit of the high court decision of giving your hand away before the startline I thought I would let the cat out of the bag. I commend your research.

Like the US election!

Lucky you. Mines out tomorrow because of Parent Teacher Conferences. OMG you are both still at school. How old are you? My daughter is older than you. Do I qualify for a motor scooter yet? 15. I have to wait to get my license till late April sadly. Thank God. I was desperately hoping he isn't a teacher. Don't worry. I'm trying to mature as a poster as much as I'm trying to mature in real life I think this is good news being is dick seems almost compulsory for 15 year olds, You will find it easier in future years to be less of one (this may not be true of everyone)

Why aren't you at school? Parent Teacher conference apparently!

Well I didn't know that.

She might decide to see how the by-elections go. Is there still time to get this one in on Dec 1st otherwise this might have to wait until the New Year? Answering my own question theminimum time between the writ and the by-election is 21 days which gives them about a week to issue the writ.

He is not one who has been selected for this game but if any more follow suit I think we could be on course for an early election. Which might mean Rover gets a victory. Next time everyone will get 50 picks.

Looks like book has the next hit in Kay Starr.. BBC obit pending. Wiki says she's dead I am seriously beginning to worry about Kay Starr getting a BBC obit. They have had over 12 hours The New York Times has it and the Washington Post but so far nothing on the BBC. If Kay Starr can't get one I might be wasting my time with Dina Merill. I presume everyone at the BBC is too excited by the US election and Brexit to bothter checking who has died recently. They really are going to lose that Gold standard if they are not careful. I hope it comes soon because I am flying out tonight.

If one isn't specified, I've taken it as the number one pick on the list, in your case, it's John Wakeham BiblioG. Makes sense to me.

Who do you have down as my joker as I don't seem to have recorded it myself?

I think Maryport may be occupied with sorting out all the Deathrace entiries! Are you proposing a sort of Advent Avalanche Deadpool or perhaps a Twelve Days of Christmas Deadpool to take advantage of those Festive Fallers in the slow news period between Christmas and New Year? Yes.Although closer to all December instead of one week. That is where the advent avalanche would be used see if we can get a hit before everyone packs up on Christmas Eve.

Entry sent with subs. Thank you Maryport for your dedication in bringing us this exciting competition once again. It should be televised it is certainly more exciting than golf.

If Deathray is retiring from the scene then I can think of none better to take the helm. Thanks Deathray for playing in my various pools and I hope you stop by occasionally if only to check in on Scavenger Hunt Bingo where you are one of only two players to notch up three hits. All the best.
