I'll get my coat (while @msc adds the above to "terrible puns possibly in the event of death" for the DDP). Something along the lines of "After the Year Dot" but who knows when inspiration will strike. Although with puns referencing Scott Steiner, a forgotten UK number one from 2006, the Elizabeth Wurzel line and the Douglas Adams/Tom Long one I was far too smug about, the only question is how low will the quality line of these puns be by December? imo very, very low! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted February 21, 2020 Today's headline: 93-Year-Old Retires From Job. I remember watching some of the early Eastenders and thinking that Dot was rather a sinister character when she began. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah and 'Eileen Derbyshire hasn't retired'....... Along with the hundreds of other soap actors whose character's are living in Australia, Canada or the Peak District. Not to mention June's deliberately unsporting timing of her departure as before the anbiversary would cause her unlikely to be welcomed back by the current cast and crew.
