3 hours ago, La Tombe said:2024 is on the path to be one of the worst year ever for the DL commitee. Seeing the picks these year, it’s surprising that some have not passed away yet.
The Crowdsourced List is only at four and the TOP 50 in the DDP is only at three so this is more to do with left field deaths this year rather than poor picking by the committee

Friday is Day 103 of the year
In 2020 the official list got its 8th hit
It is also the average day for the 4th hit to fall on. So if Jimmy (or one of his 46 pals) can't deliver by Friday we will be in a below average year

21 minutes ago, TQR said:After having to drop seven parliamentary election candidates for writing or sharing a load of racism, Reform leader Richard Tice warns his members not to use social media after having a drink.
How does he think they ended up being Reform party candidates in the first place........

Only Fifteen players have posted scores in the past 24 hours so there are 112 points left amongst the bottom five which at an attrition rate of 30 points a day should suggest that we get a result in this round before the end of the week

6 minutes ago, time said:Does anyone call (association) football "soccer" these days?
In a previous role. I worked on a project about the methods of assessment for various types of sports footwear and my boss was adamant that when we referred to Football it should always be soccer because most of the brands were US based or took their lead from the US and they would confuse football with the American version

I have been thinking about the "Woke" casting complaints and I think that the more people try to put rules around it the more it is going to struggle
Theatre, TV and Film are all forms of art and by saying - you must cast accurately or you must cast colour blind or gender blind is basically hampering the creative decisions of the creator before the start
There were complaints about the casting of a Black Anne Boleyn in a TV drama but the musical Six has been an enormous success and when my wife and daughter saw it at least three of the wives were played by actresses of colour.
Therefore my opinion is that casting is an artistic decision that the director needs to stand by. There have been many experimental productions which have played about with casting that have been enormous successes (Matthew Bourne's all male Swan Lake or Hamilton for that matter)
It would take a brave director to cast Zac Efron as Martin Luther King but a really creative director could make it work without seeming too crass.
Someone on Twitter refused to go and see the new Indiana Jones movie for the sole reason that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was in it and they were expecting two hours of feminist propeganda
I would rather judge a production on how it tells the story and the story it has to tell rather than inflict my own opinions on something before I have even seen it

I really like the original version of One but the duet with Mary J. Blige is terrible.

Just now, ladyfiona said:My parents once when to a Shakespeare production at Globe theatre where there was a genderbending/gender swap of all characters and apparently it was the worst thing they had ever seen.
At the RSC there is a lot of gender neutral casting
I saw a Julius Caesar with a female Brutus. A female Timon of Athens and in the Macbeth we saw last year there was a female Banquo although that was probably the second worst Macbeth I have ever seen.
In the theatre I do not really have a problem with it. My daughter is in a touring production of Macbeth and because of the size of the cast she is frequently any one of the witches, Donalbain, Lady Macduff and Young Siward on a nightly basis
In Kenneth Branagh's film version of Much Ado About Nothing I did not hear any howls of protest when Keanu Reeves and Denzel Washington were cast as half brothers though I find that less incredulous than people who claim Robert Sean Leonard could act

5 hours ago, Father Brown said:June 27 is my guess now. That gives him a bit over a week after the local elections to see Charlie, get a speech written, and kick off the campaign period. He won’t be able to hold off the rebels for very long, he knows he’s cooked.
I certainly don’t think there will be a pre-election leadership contest though. Picking yet another new PM before the election would both play right into Labour’s hands and throw the successor under the bus.
I think it is an either or situation
If there is not an election there may be a leadership challenge. The election may be called to head off such a challenge
