    The thing that is keeping the Conservative Party together is the infrastructure All the local Conservative associations around the country are an important activist base and revenue stream Both sides (and here I am assuming a crude division between One Nation and Far Right Loons Free Marketeers) will want to hold on to the local associations. It will be a bloodbath because within each local association there will be a huge split and remember Liz Truss got the leadership with the rank and file membership voting her in. Sunak was the preferred choice of the Parliamentary party)

    Ready to do battle and steal those picks from your fellow players Its fast and fun but you need to be on the ball but if you miss a round or two you can join in at any time  Basically the aim of the game is to pick 20 candidates from the years 1924-1933.You need 2 from each year and you must have one male and one female from each year. Candidates only qualify if they have a national news article about their death in English and or an obituary. The game does not start until 1 January 2024 (UK Time Zone) and no teams can be posted before this time and will continue until the end of the year. As soon as one candidate from anyone`s list dies the pool will be immediately restarted and it is first come first serve. You can even be a bitch and steal someone`s entire list if you wish. Its a competitive game. The overall winner will be the person with most hits in the year. The pool restarts as soon as a link from the the qualifying article is posted verifying age of the deceased (by their own standard). No two players can have duplicate picks and the age given in the article will be accepted as soon as the article is published and pasted to this site. It has to be decisive at the time the news breaks. If the age they give is different to the year of birth you don`t get a hit unless it is amended before another death that meets the criteria of a hit. There have been a number of cases where two or more deaths break at about the same time. If a later breaking death occurs but it actually happened before the start of the new round you will be awarded the point if you had the earlier death in your team at the point that they died. I will do my best to be fair and even handed. There is no limit to the number of players and you can enter the round at any point. You may even miss some rounds if they are quick. You do not need an admin to confirm your pick if you have a QO to post your next round team but you may be challenged if it in any way suspect.

    Before Covid we were in an Italian restaurant and for my desert I have an italian take on Rhubarb Crumble. It was a ravioli filled with rhubarb and a crumble topping served with custard. The expression my wife gave me was like I was committing every possible crime against food

    I have never bought a football shirt It is a two inch embroided logo on the rear of the collar. If anyone had bought the shirt would they a) have noticed it or b) considered it to be anything other that a decoration. Someone has gone looking for this an brought it to the attention of everyone and Kier Starmer has fallen into their trap. Lee Anderson said last year that the only way the Conservative stood any chance at the next election was by stoking culture wars. This is just a pawn in the game and the real scandal is probably the price and the supply chain issues.

    It is interesting there are no new photos. The 'recent' photo was the one from the dementia fundraiser last year

    This is the source Wikipedia is using which is a fandom site which puts us into a similar situation with Thomas P. Stafford where the news was broke by a space fan site I am inclined to believe this is true as he was reportedly suffering from Parkinson's There are three older Hugo winners left (Larry Niven, Joe Haldeman & C J Cherryh) and Connie Willis now makes it onto the top ten earliest winners surviving (Vernor Vinge was at No.10)
