Meghan to join the ex-princess death index? With the release of a new book which has mightily annoyed the Queen, a record of alienating all families she comes into contact with (including her own), and the history of what happened to Diana, I think this could be a good time for Meghan to have her own thread. Is the Fiat Uno being taken out of storage? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8562521/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-face-PERMANENT-exile-Royal-Family.html

And it's not even filmed in her house. She borrowed the house from a neighbour.

I'm sure I used to have a signature, in which I recorded all my DDP positions. But I can no longer find it. Does anyone know if the signature function still exists and if so where it is?

I wonder who will be the last 70s nonce left standing?

I have a feeling Mahathir Mohamad might finally shuffle off this year. Hopefully Yoko too.

Steve Wright, Annie Nightingale and Johnnie Walker. Big year for DJs. Also I never realized his real name was Peter Dingley.

I seem to remember waking up on 30th December to news of Pope Benedict dying a few years back too

His wife can't be too happy at having to exchange the designer lifestyle as presidential wife, to cold and miserable Moscow with all the other ex dictators and their families.

If he wants to live forever then going to India is probably not the best way of achieving it.

Seriously McMichael you have 27 days left...

I distinctly remember the 1984 American election because it was the first time I had ever heard the word landslide. For some reason I don't think it was used for Thatcher's victory in 79. A bit like I had never heard the word tsunami until 2004 and then since then it gets used all the time.

To quote the song 'F*** you Debbie!'

Indonesia not Philippines. Pontianak is in Indonesian Borneo (aka Kalimantan) and the equator goes through the middle of the city.

Not forgetting his bulimia diagnosis.

Anyone finding themselves on the 5th or 6th floor of a building in Russia, with somebody else in the room, should be very afraid.

It was actually a brilliant song, lyrics, tune and performance. Whether it was better than We are the world is an interesting question. It could have done without all the updates though.

His wife is now in the danger zone (if she remembers who he is).

One of the worst predictions in political history
