I have not had chance to really get into this. Congrats DI but it was a bit disapponting.

Anybody considered the lovely Duchess of Kent for any of their lists pools for 2017? She's 83 now and looks frail and doddery in some photos but less so in others.
She gave me my degree. One of the girls on the course was cross because she said about being given a degree by someone with merit rather than just who they had married but when it came down to it she gave the most magnificent curtesy.

Currency and stamps will still be valid but all new issues will feature Charlie. I remember as a kid still using coinage with George VI when I went to buy my fruit salad sweeties after school, and that was right up til 1971 when, of course, all coinage had to be replaced when the UK decimalised.
George VI shillings were still legal until 1990 when the new 5p came out.

A cancer diary update from Steve Hewlett in case anyone who has him wants to know how he's doing: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/jan/08/steve-hewlett-cancer-diary-christmas-chemo-and-new-year-a-and-e-dash
Sounded terrible on the Media show yesterday but he is still presenting it.

This competition is surprisingly compelling. So many possible permutations and it can all change very quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if someone currently waiting for more than 2, or even someone who's nowhere right now ends up winning it.
Also: Who's Charles Lyell..? :\
Third Baron Lyell in the Lords team.

Unique for Switch making them the first team with a hit in three categories. Still two away from victory but a wider number of combinations to get there.

I have some sympathy for Gary Barlow. Just because he has a modicum of talent doesn't make him a financial advisor. He probably had people who took care of that for him and when told he could reduce his tax burden probably neglected to check whether it was legal. The pop music industry is riddled with money earnt by stars being swindled out from them because of their naivity.

A terrorist is someone who uses terrorism in the pursuit political aims.
A freedom fighter someone involved in a resistance movement
Politicians are active in party politics or are running or holding office.
There, all defined.

Three hits for Sarstedt. Death Impends now has 3 in No.1s as does Toast but di has the highest total number of hits although that means nothing here. Gcreptile gets a second hit in No. 1s.
So Jane Morgan & Tab Hunter vs Vera Lynn and David Cassidy.
