So that's the first points scored out of the ninety people nominated this year, and we're already half-way through May!!!!

I've been musing on the obvious names I missed, like former Labour minister Ted Short / Lord Glenamara, who died two weeks ago aged 99, or Bejamin Netanyahu's father Benzion, who died last month aged 101. Will try a new strategy next year.

I hadn't noticed that, but you're right: it is the first points of the year! We're obviously slacking.

Actually I see that Ted Short was on someone else's list, and he died earlier this month; so two scores so far this year.

Oh, so he was: I should probably have remembered that, because, er, he was on mine!

I guess one of the signs of getting old is you start forgetting who's still alive or not.
