to be fair he looked worse last year. Never looked healthy.

I think uniques should be worth 3 rather than two. like Football.

Hopefully there will be a new round in a day or two and you can swoop in with the best picks. Hopefully not mine.

It is quite interesting that once you get to 1926 it does become easier. Those early years are challenging. Still got 8 picks for each though.

I saw that and thought one of two things either he is really ill or the green room was very well stocked.

Good luck with those BBC obits

Guardian Gets in with Noel

Withdrawing from role due to "hospital stay" for an "intestinal complaint". Get him back on your 2017 longlists lads. I pulled him from my Death by Numbers team yesterday. Has he been checked for Xenomorphs?

Theresa May sounds like she might steady the Tory ship and push on to 2020.

I am loving this pool. I am Ok for the near future as long as I am in the first eight to enter. After that the names become an bit obit dodgy.

Last night I was coming to the conclusion that Boris deserved the PM job just so the whole bucket of shit could be landed in his lap and everyone say "Right you sort it out mate" but apparently he was coming to the same conclusion and dumped it back on Gove.

Public or Private sector?? Judging by how often he was flying around Europe the other week and that this has now dried up a bit I'm starting to think he works in the Brexit department. Im guessing a Charideeeee Wrong it is the Private sector. I work for a Research and Technology organisation. I attend Technical Committee meetings.

At St Pancras Station £2.19 for a small bottle of juice in WHS. I didn't buy it. Even though I would have been able to put it on expenses. I went to The Curious Pig next door and got it for £1.50.

Stephen Crabb is said to be close to declaring his leadership bid. Good news for Cat & YW they could be cured by Christmas. ;-)

Just to be deliberately mischievous, the current United Kingdoms (referring to the head of state, not the Act of Union) started when Elizabeth I was unable to produce any weans. Therefore, Scotland, out of the goodness of its heart, shared its monarchy with England. Despite a few hiccups along the way (the English beheading the Scottish monarch, the whole move to the Windsors, etc) its still the dynastic line of Scottish monarchism. So, the real question to be asked is surely: will an independent England keep her? Will they be allowed to? We would just have to apply to join the Commonwealth.

So in the Tory leadership contest we already have Fox & Hunt. I thought the Labour Government abolished this.

Rihanna has released a song called Sledgehammer taken from the new Star Trek Film. I was so disappointed it wasn't a cover of this

He has a mainstream BBC Obit now

When he first came on he was quite witty,albeit in an aggressive manner but I thought he was putting on an act. However the increasingly xenophobic rants against Islam became uncomfortable reading but I do worry about him, this forum may have been a release for him. I hope he is OK. I am not suggesting for one minute that the mods acted incorrectly and that the comments he made were acceptable - they were not, it is just I wonder what was going on in his head.

One thing that the Leave camp did was blur the borders between Free Movement of People from the European Union, Illegal immigration, the Migrant crisis and immigration from the rest of the world. This has been evidenced by the verbal and sometimes physical attack on people of Asian origin that have occurred since Friday. There was also the Shrodingers migrant conundrum Claiming benefits and stealing your job at the same time. I did wonder (slightly shamefully) that those people who are just a little bit racist if actually given the choice would prefer migration from a still largely white Judeo-Christian European Union or lots of non-white immigrants from Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. However if anyone had said that during the campaign they would have been howled down. We have an ageing population which means a smaller workforce to support them. We have already seen an increase in the pensionable age but we need migrants to pick our crops, wait our tables, work in the care sector. There are things that need to be done but Labour talked about these at the last election: Stop companies only advertising jobs overseas, clamp down on employers who are willing to use illegal workers for below the minimum wage. There was a sad case a couple of years ago where an elderly woman was found dead in her house because she had starved to death, the woman who the agency employed as a carer was actually an illegal immigrant, she would visit on a daily basis to feed and dress the woman, immigration caught up with the carer and deported her but the agency did not actually tell the local authority of the situation (presumably to protect the rest of their contract) and didn't have anyone else to cover the contract and probably didn't realise that the carer was the only person that woman saw on a daily basis. It wasn't right what the agency was doing but that woman and her family are the victims of a political struggle. My Father moved into a care home last December it is a lovely home and he is very happy there but the staff are a mixture of races will they still be able to draw on the pool of people to keep fully staffed in the future. There has been a narrative from employers that the struggle to get British people to do those jobs whilst they have there own agenda there is a little bit of evidence that this is the case but those who are unemployed now might have to realise that they may have to work a lot harder in future, ironically to look after the generation that took them out of the EU.

Fortunately I drafted a new list on the train yesterday 1920 Fanny Waterman/Michael Anderson 1921 Jane Freeman/ Gordon Murray 1922 Kay Starr/Rex Richards 1923 Dina Merill/ Franco Zeffarelli 1924 Vivean Gray/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 Had to switch out Jean Barker because someone else got to her first but I think all of the others are unclaimed. Just had to edit this to replace Barbara Hale with Kay Starr.
