A sleep deprived Sir John looked like he was about to start beating up idiot politicians and pundits earlier. Alas, he refrained.

He was on my shortlist... for 2016! Lingered slightly.

I've lost four stone since last autumn (diet and exercise changes, trying to be healthier) and have gone down a trouser size and can safely agree I can't make head not tail of the various shops sizes. It's a matter of educated guessing and working from there

I stopped playing ages ago because certain people took the fun out but wanted to say the top five here are all excellent which is a rarity for post millennium music round for me.

My views haven't changed.

I consistently stuck on the fence as evidence shows.

At least they're not Rochdale! Danczuk, Cyril Smith, Galloway...

The next MP for the area is a school governor who used to work for a pension fund, states her reason for standing is the crap state of the health services and that the best bit of being a councillor is helping people. But I'm sure we can Westminster that out of her.

Second actor to have appeared in Taggart two parter Secrets to have died in the past fortnight. Maybe ill in the past Gray O'Brian and James MacPherson should go for a wee checkup.

The Christmas special where Geraldine accidentally agrees to attend three dinners on the one day still has me in stitches, and it's got a Capaldi cameo too.

Means she'll have outsold about 99% of the market though. The book industry has been strangled the last fourteen years.

Glad your issues got fixed. The Special AKA were on board with their song Free @Gooseberry Crumble too.

So, as we already worked out you were secretly high up in government during those Brexit negotiations* so with that in mind. Telford is a UK constituency and so... we need to await news if you've forced Rishi Sunak to have an election soon after the locals? Got it. Good luck. *For any newcomers, Biblio's work trips had a habit of corresponding to Brexit negotiation trips abroad in 2017-ish.

Cause of death - anti-freeze in the wine.

tbf I'm a Glasgow socialist and, by comparison, the political distance between me and Ken Clarke is a lot shorter than it is between me and Suella Braverman or George Galloway!
