Apparenly it is the time of year when we find out which celebrities will be infecting our Saturday evening between September and Christmas as part of the Strictly Come Dancing line up which means that they will always be remembered on at least one discussion on this forum. The first contender announced is everyone's favorite former Shadow Chancellor - Ed Balls

OK I was going to put my plane pictures here but I cannot find away to copy them into the post. I am sure I have managed to post pictures before when we were doing the form guide I just copied and pasted. Any clues?

From our point of view is his abdication actually likely to prolong his life in the same way as its seems to have for Pope Benedict XVI? This one is worth watching.

Back to Obit decaying orbit

I am here though internet access is intermittent. The receptionist told me that there is free wifi in the hotel but it was off across the whole of the country yesterday.

"Do you want to bet on it?"

Very sunny in Frankfurt. Got photo of the plane for you.

OK. I am off on my travels again. This time I am going to Addis Ababa. This will be my first time in Africa. Wish me luck.

The committee are of the generation that remember Brian Rix very well. He'll make it. Have we ever had a brother/sister combo before?

Judy Cornwell I think.

They obviously didn't Turn and Run.

I played her in the first round of 20/20 but replaced her with what I thought was a better pick. Noone else got her though.

I had Vivean Gray on my team.

1920 Fanny Waterman/Michael Anderson 1921 Jane Freeman/ Silvio Gazaniga 1922 Kay Starr/Rex Richards 1923 Dina Merill/ Franco Zeffarelli 1924 Lilliane Rosamunde Pilcher/Brian Rix 1925 Ysanne Churchman/Richard Baker 1926 Cicely Berry/Leonard Fenton 1927 Babs Chinnery/Dick Bruna 1928 Kate Wilhelm/Edward Albee 1929 Patricia Routledge/David Fisher Same again.

Is there a deadline for entries? I will join but I might be late to the party.

If I press the screen too hard on my phone it thinks I have liked it then unliked it so I have to like it again. BG I got TWO notifications that you liked this post. Are you Martin Peters by any chance?

OK point taken but he really should have a moan about the BBC website. I probably shouldn't say too much as when I went to China the lady at passport control insisted on seeing another photo ID because she thought I didn't look like 2009 me.

Well done Biblio.Bettencourt was born in 1922 though.OK Rosamunde Pilcher then.

OK BBC have come up trumps for Vivean Gray. Another point to me. Now to try and link. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36922414
