The death of Vilanova puts **Gleena** in the lead, with a total of 70 points. **Gleena** has been stuck in an anonymous tie with all the others who had Ariel Sharon. **Cumbrian** also had Vilanova, and will be in second place with 55 points, just edging out the previous leader **bowler girl** , who has 54 points. ---

One I’m genuinely a bit sad about… [Bob Hoskins](http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-27224995) has died aged 71. I’ve always thought he was a terrific, largely-underrated actor, although I know he was feted for _Mona Lisa_ in particular. _The Long Good Friday_ is constantly towards the top of my list of favourite films, and that final scene is just wonderful.
