Derby Dead Pool showrunner...
"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."
David Bowie - We Are The Dead (1974)

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, again. But I've made a dozen bad calls on these threads this year.
Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

This year isn't finished, surely. I still think there's enough tottering talent for 15 hits in 2009.
