The Dean, who are all these women you keep putting in your avatar? There is a different bird every week. What's the deal?

Ah............. someone who is new to my (admittedly rather perverse) avatar selection policy.............. the regulars know the story, and tolerate me with (probably) a weary shrug............

The policy is 'Recently Deceased People'. I have tried veering away from it from time to time, only to be met with protests, so presumably someone's watching them....... it's not always women though. Occasionally I manage to achieve a 'scoop' (posting a new avatar before anyone else round here knows that he/she has died).

Anyway - explaining all that has been somewhat therapeutic - thank you.

The current corpse of choice is Mary Tamm who was a 'Dr Who Girl' back in the Tom Baker era. Later today I will probably change to Simon Ward who starred in Young Winston and not much else. He has died, aged 70........ unless of course someone better has died overnight........ off to check.......
