Authors Last A Long Time, But....

No-one seems to be dying so I have decided to create a list Ten Earliest Winners of the Edger Allen Poe Award for Best Mystery Novel as awarded by the Mystery Writers of America 1972 Frederick Forsyth (b.1938) 1979 Ken Follett (b. 1949) 1982 William Bayer (b. 1939) 1988 Aaron Elkins (b. 1935) 1990 James Lee Burke (b.1936) 1991 Julie Smith (b.1944) 1992 Lawrence Block (b.1938) 1994 Minette Walters (b.1949) 1997 Thomas H. Cook (b.1947) 1999 Robert Clark (b.1952) All the winners since 2000 are still with us with the exception of Mo Hayder (2012) which is the pen name of former model Candy Davis who played Miss Belfridge in Are You Being Served? and was briefly married to actor Gary Olsen -

I thought people might have been all over this one but I have searched and not seen it mentioned Zoe Ball is absent from her Radio 2 Breakfast show as her mother (who divorced her Dad when she was 2) has been diagnosed with cancer Unlikely to get a direct obituary but might get some coverage -

Milkshake was on a Now Decades compilation I had and I recognised the title of the Rihanna song but otherwise it is a massive blank. I think I will do better in the next round as that will coincide with my daughter's secondary school era when I used to take her in in the car and she would listen to Chris Moyles on Radio 1- 1,864 replies

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 -

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- 1,864 replies

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
-
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
-
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?)
-
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
