    I think the people who are dead page stands alone but the other three could merge.

    We already have three Wikipedia threads, do we really need a fourth? Can't we just have one with the title All Things Relating to Wikipedia? People Who Are Dead According To Wikipedia Why Wikipedia Sucks Another Wikipedia error

    FTFY Hmmm. I think there's a difference. In a tournament you have a squad from which to select the players who will form the team for each game. So the team comprises the players on the pitch, but the squad includes everyone else.

    Ralph Woolsey, cinematographer, oldest living ASC and Emmy Award winner died on 23rd March at the age of 104. Seems to have been completely off the deadpooling radar.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2018/04/10/livia-rev-pianist-obituary/ Livia "Mercury" Rev gets her QO, meaning that I should probably start thinking about the next update.

    Toast is right here. Take the World Cup. A team is 11 players plus the 3 subs. The squad is the pool of 23 players taken to the tournament. Not all of those 23 players will actually see any game time.

    I've been away for the last 10 days or so, so am only just getting round to reading through this. It was a ding-dong battle, but in the end the lads in the end dun good and were able to knock one past the oppo's goalie just as things were looking in the end a bit squeaky bum time. Anyway, in summary, it was a surprising win for the unheralded team out of Kiwiland who usually perform so adeptly in manners, but so poorly in actual results (oh, the 0 - 0 'thrillers' you get to sit through watching the All Whites). It was good to see no fights on the terraces between the opposing sets of fans, but the unlucky DI team gaffer must be wondering how he didn't put the game to bed before the half-time oranges. As for the initial salvos of the next round, well, it's all a bit cagey so far i'n't it?

    This is more of Plant Antics than anything. A man bit off more than he could chew when he tackled the world's hottest chili, the so-called “Carolina Reaper,” and was left with excruciating headaches. In the first ever recorded such case, the next few days after eating the veggie the man experienced short splitting pains lasting seconds at a time. The 34-year-old, who was not identified, had eaten just one of the chilies at a chili eating contest in upstate New York. Immediately after the competition, he began dry heaving and developed intense neck and head pain starting at the back, which later spread across the whole head. He then developed crushingly painful headaches and at one point he decided to go to the emergency room. SC

    Another of my favourites. A man goes to the doctor. The doctor says, "What seems to be the problem?" The man says "Well doctor, the problem is not me it is my wife. She has lost interest completely in sex, we haven't done it for 2 years. I need something to give her the urge again." The doctor says, "Well this is highly irregular, but we have this new experimental treatment. Put one of these pills in her tea and it should give her a powerful urge." The man takes the pills home and put one in her tea. He then thought to himself, "Gee it has been so long and she has been so disinterested," so he put a second one in there for good measure. He then thought, "It has been a while for me as well, maybe I should take a pill so I can keep up." He put a pill in his own tea and then they drank. A few moments later his wife ripped off all her clothes and jumped on the ground, spread her legs wide and yelled, "I NEED A MAN!" Then the man ripped off all his clothes, bent over and yelled "SO DO I!"

    Figured you'd like this then: A speech by stuffed-shirt Cardinal Burke explaining where Papal Authority derives from, it's limitations, and then gives a dagger up the strap to Pope Francis (not explicitly) followed by extolling the virtues of one Cardinal Meisner. SC

    Oh I'm certain of it mate. How does that saying go? Something like "If you owe the bank 25 thousand and can't pay it back, you have a problem. If you owe the bank 25 million and can't pay it back, they have a problem"

    Have submitted a team. However as I don't expect the last second miracle goal, I give my congratulations to Heef, we're even now. I wish you luck in taking on the Grim Reaper himself. Will admit the itch to to do extensive deadpool research has been on the backburners as of late, so it's a bit of a blessing in disguise to be knocked out. (rest assured the itch will be back sometime before 2019, though!)

    Or gardener. Or teacher. Or welder. Or plumber. Oh flip this might get out of hand Not comparable. It makes no difference to the job whether any of these is male or female. But generally, if you are casting a male role, you will be looking for a male actor. If casting a female role, a female actor. It would be convenient if we had separate single words to distinguish between the two. Oh wait ......

    Actor when referring to a female. I really can't see the sense in this usage. The other day I was musing over who might play a certain (male) role in an upcoming series, and I looked for a "list of Scottish actors". What came up was an unsorted list of actors AND actresses which was a PITA. Now I'm all for equality and all that, but really this is one area where it's usually horses for courses, innit?

    A WIkipedia editor once deleted a section of a Wiki which cited me as the source, saying it was an "atrocious source". Still proud.

    ONCE UPON A TIME IN A MAYAN CITY, SOMEWHERE IN SOUTH AMERICA. MAYAN CITIZEN: Hello Geoff, how are you getting on with that calendar? MAYAN CALENDAR WRITER: Good thanks Bert, I'm up to December 21st 2012 already. Should be at year 3000 next Friday. MAYAN CITIZEN: Thats great Geoff, what are you up to just now then? ... MAYAN CALENDAR WRITER: I'm just having a 5 minute break, my Nana found this funny plant with pointy leaves in her garden. No one knows what it is so I'm gonna see what its like if you smoke it! And that is why the Mayan calendar stopped at 21st Dec 2012.

    I'm guessing this fucking idiotic comment was posted in the hope that someone will rise to the bait and call you a massive twat. You massive twat.
