  4. I would support it. I think it would be educational and probably no worse than the 2000s
  5. Absolutely. I found this on a couple of compilations and it really grew on me. If it goes through it will go to the top of my Finalists ranking so far
  6. The damage is done so I guess I'll be leaving
  7. I have got to the stage where I don't hate anything that is left but would swap any one of three of the current top seven to get Cry Me A River through

  9. There are less than 100 points in the last four which could be less than 20 plays but only if all the minus points go to the bottom four and all the plus points to the top seven. I am thinking a finish on Monday possibly quite early

    Theresa May

    My understanding was that Winston wanted to join the European Coal & Steel Community (the precursor of the EEC) but De Gaulle said no which is why we didn't join until the Seventies This whole thing came from who would be a good leader for the current Conservative party who would satisfy the likes of BonScott. This is not necessarily the same as who could win a leadership election under current Conservative party rules or who would be appealing to the wider electorate

    Theresa May

    When the Brexit vote was delivered I was furious. However I recognised that this was now the world we were living in so the best thing to do was try to minimise the impact of Brexit and deliver the best possible Brexit for the entire country. However the far right of the Conservative party kept moving the goal posts until a best compromise was not an option. Thatcher was a pragmatist. In a binary choice with the world watching yes she probably would have joined the Leave campaign but I think she would not have proposed a no deal Brexit as some in her party did

    Theresa May

    I think there is a distinction between not voting for Maastricht and wanting to leave the entire block (and also would she have wanted to leave in a way that was so detrimental to British Buisness?)

    Theresa May

    I get the distinction but I do not think that Margaret Thatcher would have gone down the Brexit route in the same way her cheerleaders such as Mark Francois think she would. She always put on a very robust attack on the areas where she felt that UK interests were not best served by the actions of the EU but she recognised the value of the market place and would not be 'Fuck Business' as Boris once said These people are cosplaying a fantasy version of Conservatism that never really existed

    You say that but as a teetotaller, vegetarian just as I left my previous job I was identified as prediabetic but working from home under the watchful eye of Mrs Biblio she managed to get it under control. Probably the hot chocolate from the vending machine every morning and the pack of Aldi chocolate biscuits in my work drawer may have been contributing to the problem

    Until an official cause of death is announced responsible journalists will try to stick to the facts and this is a case of wanting to pay tribute without speculation. What a very strange assertion this is.

    20/20 + 4

    We are currently waiting on confirmation but it looks like Anne Heywood may have died off radar. I will make a decision on points if we can get a date of death but if it is last autumn as suspected points will not be awarded but you can make another pick

    Theatre

    In the character actors thread I have posted lists of London Evening Standard Theatre award winners but I was trying to find a place for the other theatre creatives (writers and directors). I did think there was a Luvvie thread but apparently not so here we are with a list of the ten longest surviving Playwrights. With a very interesting name to start us off. BEST PLAY (Writer) 1957 Roy Lawler (b. 1921) 1967 Peter Nichols (b.1927) 1972 Tom Stoppard (b.1937) 1974 Alan Ayckborn (b.1939) 1976 Howard Brenton (b.1942) 1980 Ronald Harwood (b.1934) 1983 Athol Fugard (b.1932) 1985 David Hare (b.1947)* 1986 Christopher Hampton (b.1946) * Co-author with Howard Brenton.
