    Phil Collins (And Other Genesis Types)

    Phil's going to give a one-off concert: http://www.france24.com/en/20151002-phil-collins-give-career-one-more-night Let's see if booze really has affected him that much. Yeah, and let's see who turns up! Game on, then, the man is back: http://www.nme.com/news/phil-collins/89340 Take a look at him now... I think I preferred the empty space.

    I already have my shadowlist prepared but I am going to wait until Dec to discuss. Some good names in the DJL but some obscure ones as well

    The 13th Death Of 2015

    Leslie Phillips I think he has lulled us all into a false sense of security.

    someone trip zsa zsa Gabor Difficult to trip up a woman who is bedridden.If you can think of a way let me know.Besides it wouldn`t work.Zsa Zsa has survived falls before and strokes, blood clots, blocked feeding tubes ,a car crash, divorces ,an amputation and many infections.Therefore a minor fall on a sidewalk probably wouldn`t do it It would have to be a tip rather than a trip.

    By-Election Bingo

    The list was edited from the initial list where the players were listed by the order in which the entries were received. The early bird and all that....

    By-Election Bingo

    The timing of the by-election could be difficult because I don't think there is enough time for this to be held before Christmas and therefore may not end up being held until the end of February because ( It is inexpedient for by-elections to be held in August, or at the time of local elections in April/May, or in the period from mid-December to mid-February before (under present arrangements) a new Register is issued. Not sure what the time scale is required from issuing a writ to actual date of the by-election.

    By-Election Bingo

    Unfortunately this means that the pressure is on Corbyn. Cameron can get his excuses in earlier and argue that even if he picked Harry Styles as the Conservative candidate they are never going to win in Oldham. There will be a lot of analysis of turnout and voting share. Labour have to win big on a good turnout. Might be a gift to UKIP.

    Jimmy Savile

    This has made me check (because I didn't know) there are currently 6 living former Australian PMs one of whom is a woman. I am presuming she is out of the frame.

    Derby Dead Pool 2015

    In order to avoid accusations of post whoring I decided to post this here as this is an issue for the DDP other wise I would have started The Names the Same thread. These are people who are on my radar who may be confused with each other. Frank Williams - Formula 1 team owner (b.1942) or Vicar from Dad's Army (b. 1931) Kenneth Baker/Kenny Baker - Conservative Politician/ R2-D2 both born 1934 Rosemary Harris - Children's writer b.1923/ Actress who played Spiderman's Auntie b. 1927/ American mystery writer Mary Wilson/Mari Wilson - Harold Wilson's widow b.1916/Former Supreme b.1944/British singer (Telephone Man) b.1954 Terrence Dicks/Terry Dicks - Former Doctor Who script editor and novelist (b.1935)/Former Conservative MP (b. 1937) Bob Harris/Robert Harris - Whispering DJ (b.1946)/ Novelist - Fatherland (b.1957) Michael Moore - Hectoring Canadian film maker (b.1954)/ LD politician (b.1965) Angus Deayton/Angus Deaton - Cocaine taking, whoring television presenter (b.1956)/Nobel Prize winning economist (b.1945) There are probably loads more but these are the ones on my radar.

    British Science Fiction Series

    That only leaves Lois Baxter, Tom Baker and John Leeson from that serial. It is one that I really enjoy and watch repeatedly.

    Grange Hill

    The headteacher was Mrs McClusky played by Gwynneth Powell (b.1946). I didn't realise that by the time the series ended the head teacher was Mona Lisa actress Cathy Tyson.

    Grange Hill

    I imagine the sort of actor who would be included here would be Michael Cronin (b.1942) who played PE Teacher Bullet Baxter and who may be recognisable from the Fawlty Towers episode The Builders and to younger audiences as Geoffrey of Monmouth in Merlin this would be his high watermark of fame.

    British Character Actors

    Twenty years ago this autumn BBC aired one of its most successful costume dramas Andrew Davies' adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. Curiously (as far as I am aware) there have been no losses from the major cast of this show but here are twenty great and good if anyone wants a Pride & Prejudice and Zombies theme team to coincide with the new movie. Andrew Davies (Adaptation) Sue Birtwistle (Producer) Simon Langton (Director) Colin Firth (Mr Darcy) Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth Bennett) Alison Steadman (Mrs Bennett) Benjamin Whitrow (Mr Bennett) Joanna David (Mrs Gardiner) Tim Wylton (Mr Gardiner) Barbara Leigh-Hunt (Lady Catherine de Burgh) Rupert Vansittart (Mr Hirst) Lucy Robinson (Mrs Hirst) David Bamber (Mr Collins) Adrian Lukis (Mr Wickham) Marlene Sidaway (Hill) Lynn Fairleigh (Mrs Phillips) Paul Moriarty (Captain Carter) Roy Holder (Hodge) Christopher Benjamin (Sir William Lucas) Carl Davies (Music) What do you mean no-one cares? Philistines......
