Anubis the Jackal

I saw the Syd Lucas interview last night. Bit of a cheat really, he was called up in 1918, was sent to Derby to train, went to Yorkshire to join his batallion and...err.... the war ended.

Ah, the old anonymous suggestions trick, eh? I think you're kind of missing the point. Deathlist should be about decent debate, humour, wit and bile. Most of those candidates are either on the list, have been on the list or, well, dull. If Deathlist wants to beat records, then sure we could pool together 50 names with much better chance than the 50 that will be revealed on Jan 1st. I'm sure some of our members will put together much better lists than the final 50 as regards bums in hearses, but lets be honest about this...

Apropos nothing, but my work colleague once shared a flat with 3 French girls called Annalie, Aurelie and Virginie. So he says...

Yonder, LFN.

Or, indeed, the beef bassoon.

He said alzheimers, didn't he?

Who was loitering once, with intent A policeman came by with a glint in his eye

Seeing as it's such a small ******, I don't have much use for it I'm afraid. I'm sure I won't need to use my ****** between now and Defcon2, so If you could look after it and promise not to damage its' penis between now and then I'd be glad.

You're thinking of the Pork Piccolo there I fear.

There was a young lady from Ghent....

How would you be sure it was the real Kenny Rogers who dies. After all, there are many Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers.

Now, what kind of, erm, instrument would that be then? Avoiding the "A brass one" type glib reply of course. DWB A brass Eb Euphamism.

My uncle encountered a New Forest pony once. Unfortunately for both him and Dobbin, he was doing 55mph on a Honda at the time. He's still alive, although he was a few weeks in hospital. The pony, however is currently holding some wallpaper on a wall somewhere.

King of Western Swing? My hillbilly arse is he! That's Bob Wills, that is. If he wasn't in The Light Crust Doughboys, he weren't nobody.

Myles Rudge, Comedy songwriter has died aged 81. His biggest hit was Bernard Cribbin's 'Hole in the Ground' Which is, of course, where he's going right now.

Lovely to meet all of you, I think I only got one fairly clear photograph though. You look particulary good in this one, Notapotato.

Produced the Clash on Bankrobber. Pretty damn famous I'd have thought

Nutsacks! he was a possible for my DDP team this year and a probable for next year. Does anyone know what happened to the crew member from either Enola Gay or the Nagasaki mission that was appaerently so traumatised by guilt for what he did that he became a monk in Italy?

What's worse about that is that it's also a rip-off of Hayseed Dixie and their Bluegrass covers of the mighty Accadacca.

Ronnie, Surely the Belgian Resistance would have been like the French Resistance which seemingly gained almost unanimous support across the country some time in early 1946

This is a thread to rant against the supposed evil that is deathlist, not a place to pursue some kind of vendetta from other fora against an already unpopular member who has been banned twice to the best of my knowledge. Iain is as unwelcome here as he as been on the BBC boards, so please don't keep posting tedious attacks on him as it only serves to give him the hydrogen sulphide of publicity he clearly craves. We are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the mods.

"Why don't we do it in the road?" Well, look what happened last time, Heather.

...and in other 'Rock and Roll Legends make local news" Bill Wyman has found a 50 pence piece during a metal detector day at Coldingham Priory. I hope it was a modern one, as Mr Wyman doesn't normally like anything over 15 years old. Bill (right) and some young girls, last week.

More a case of the police having a rather obvious lead on a suspect. They knew both his name, and the fact that he had a whacking great tattoo across his head. Doesn't really take a Poirot-like mind to solve that case. I fail to make the connection. Is it standard police practice to sweep the area after a bank robbery and charge anyone with a name tatooed on them cuz they is the ones that dun it?

Best tattoo story I heard was from the ex-head of a regional serious crimes squad. Apparently they had taken some criminal genius in for questioning over a bank raid and when he asked what evidence they had on him, the police pointed out that he had his name tattooed on his forehead.
