Remembering John Le Mesurier on his birthday ๐ŸŽ‚
๐Ÿ“ท Michael Ward, 1971
#caturday

Le Mesurier drafted his own obituary, to be printed in the Times:

"John Le Mesurier wishes it to be known that he conked out on November 15th. He sadly misses family and friends."

#GE24 predictions
#FiannaFail to win most seats and form a govt with #FineGael & Independents.
Micheal Martin as Taoiseach with Simon Harris set to take over at the halfway point.

I do currently but it is one I am going to have to reassess. Hearing a lot of good things about the Soc Dems candidate there.

I want to make some minor tweaks this weekend and then Iโ€™ll share it.

The timing has been tough for them but the rabbit-in-the-headlights look isnโ€™t great. Might have been better if they put forward Jennifer Whitmore or Gary Gannon.

If I am to pick a winner, I would probably go with Peadar Toibin. Not a great night for Simon Harris, while Cian Oโ€™Callaghan & Joan Collins were also quite weak. Others relatively solid.

I think John Maher is the stronger of the two.

Thereโ€™s 1 for FF, FG and SF. Oโ€™Flynn will also take a seat. Last likely to be between Lab and Mick Barry.
