  1. I hate to speak ill of the dead so i wont, but my grandad met her in 1943 and said she was a hard faced cow, because she told him to get lost when he asked for her autograph. many years later on his death bed he admmited he made the whole thing up. god no,s why he did it, i spent years slagging off vera for no reason

    hahahahaha whatt????


  2. A couple of deaths to note:

     

    Alfred Collins, London's longest-serving cab driver, has died aged 92:

    I love the Edgware & Mill Hill Times' down to earth reporting style:

     

    "His daughter, Diane Marcovitch, who lives in Essex, said " ... He said his chest hurt and I called my sister, Maureen, because she lives in Watford." "

     

    Michael Newman, co-founder and co-director of Ipswich-based yacht designing company, Spirit Yachts Ltd has died in a light aircraft crash in northern Turkey:

    "Spirit Yachts became involved in the filming of the latest Bond film, Casino Royale, when the production company borrowed a Spirit 54 for filming in Venice"

     

    Re: the cabbie.

     

    i just KNEW there would be something in the article about famous passengers! how come the most exciting thing you can ever ask a cabbie is 'you ever had anyone famous in here'? to which they will always come out a few classics such as Margaret Thatcher, Bruce Forsyth and Joan Collins!

    i asked a cabbie once and the best he could come up with was Nigel Reo-Coker.


  3. Perhaps if the poster had been a valued member who is known for his quick wit and his amusing and interesting posts, the reaction may have been different, but since the person who created the thread was a complete idiot called iain/dave who is at best tedious, more often than not annoying and persistently stupid, I consider the warning appropriate.

     

    I wouldn't say the mods are in a tizz about anything, because we aren't. But I suspect we aren't the only ones who aren't devastated that dave/iain seems to have buggered off.

     

     

    As far as I care we can discuss anything as long as it's not done too disrespectfully. I just don't fancy the ranters we would get with a thread like that. All it takes is one guest to post something stupid and we are all tarred with the same brush.

    here here!

    (woof!)


  4. 'Totally excelled himself' Infidels!!!!!

     

    Scuse me whilst I wipe the remains of the sandwich from the computer screen where I've spattered it thtough laughing out loud. If 'Neighbourhood Bully' is serious political comment then I think Boney M's under-rated 'Belfast' is ripe for re-appraisal.

     

    But seriously folks, being a kind of 'floating' Dylanologist, could someone in the know gen us up on his alleged arthritis problems and whether he still smokes, surely the most relevant points here.

  5. just for the record - i didnt set up that poll... dont know who did, mods i guess.

     

    i voted YES ban him. although i dont REALLY think he should be banned, i just dont want him to think that anyone likes him.

     

    oh and Dave, we know you're a master of disguise, but writing that pot,kettle,black message from 'anon' didnt really fool anyone. fool!


  6. I've been staring at Captain Oates's avatar for the last month trying to work out if it is moving. It looks pretty static to me. I have therefore decided I must be slightly colourblind :lol: . Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Captain.

    In order to save time and worry on the part of curious DLers, I think I'd better explain!

    The changes turned out rather more subtle than I had originally intended so here's a detailed description of what happens.

     

    0 seconds: cat's eyes: palest ----------- fish eye: deep red

    3 seconds: cat's eyes: still pale -------- fish eye: deep orange/red

    6 seconds: cat's eyes: brighter -------- fish eye: medium orange

    9 seconds: cat's eyes: more intense -- fish eye: pale orange (distorted slightly in the download)(ed:now fixed - clear your cache to see the difference))

    12 seconds: cat's eyes: bright green - fish eye: yellow

    15 seconds: cat's eyes: less bright ---- fish eye: pale orange (also distorted)(ed:fixed)

    18 seconds: cat's eyes: less intense -- fish eye: medium orange

    21 seconds: cat's eyes: paler ----------- fish eye: deep orange/red

    24 seconds: as at 0 seconds and then the cycle repeats itself.

     

    The fish's eye is brightest when the cat's eyes are palest and vice versa. I think this makes it hard to focus on both changes at the same time but it's easier when you know what you're looking for.

     

    P.S. Don't forget the waving Jumblie!

    i f*****g love that avitar CO, and i love that detailed description of colour changes...


  7. I'm with the pitchforks at dawn mob. I particulary liked it when they were out done by Joe Public, which in Judith and CJ's case, was more often then they cared for. Can't say I miss it though, perhaps I should be on the look out for the tetes d'oeuf?

     

     

    Oh, for entertainment value here is CJ's CV Nice dossy subjects. Sorry that's rude of me, though learning facts parrot fashion is one thing, Einstein however is another. I'd like to see if we have any head hunters out here who'd give their honest opinion.

     

    Though credit where it's due; if the DVD player was made from a prawn cocktail packet of crisps, I'll be impressed.

     

    And if any hackers can add Captain Oates's w**ker smiley to CJ's CV, I'll give them a medal.

     

     

    I'll do better than that - if anyone can add the w**ker smiley to CJ's CV, I'll give them a wank. Now that's got to be an incentive to try.

     

    Unless the w**ker puts it there himself desperately hoping that you hold your promise to hold a DL member's member. That would be an awful situation to be in - are you hands big enough after all he's one big prick...

     

    Cue tumbleweed...

     

    I have quite small hands, but that's OK because they make little willies look bigger when they're clenched in my sweaty palms.

    oh my god.


  8. Alderburn is a non-runner? Well what a tip that turned out to be!

     

    Does no-one else feel like a last minute bet on the Betfred Gold Cup?

     

    I thought Ronnie might fancy COWBOY BOOTS at 80/1 ?


  9. Biggs will be in jail until 2010, but his lawyer says he'll be dead in a few months.

     

    Believe what you will. I like mixing hope and skepticism personally.

    is his lawyer just trying to get him out for health reasons? he's fine isn't he. we've all been duped. ba$tard lawyer.
