Anubis the Jackal

A somewhat esoteric hate here, but related to radio advertising / trailers. The hideous overuse of the 'Vintage '30s Radio' preset on pro-tools / cubase in adverts for emphasis. Once you've spotted it twice, it seems every other bloody advert or trailer uses it. Any danger of a little originality?

Can we all actually cough to our team names then? As Mr Odstock so correctly surmised, I am RIP It Up...

For me, Harry Potter is like oral sex, sh*t, but when shared with a 6 and 8....ah bugger.

Funny, I didn't think we'd met.

Our collective intelligence.

Supply teacher cleared of hitting boy who teased him about looking like Barry Chuckle

I think that one of their number, 100-year old Buster Martin would get at least a tabloid obit, I'd vaguely heard of him before the Zimmers single for fending off some chav scumbags who tried to attack him.

Here's some

Ncube sued for adultery Obviously in no way related to his attacks on the Mugabe regime. Did anyone else catch the ridiculous shenanigans on the news about Mugabe forcing shops to sell goods for the stupidly undervalued Zimbabwe dollar rather than the unofficial US dollar prices, leading to TV's going for about a tenner (UK) and police leading the way in clearing the shelves. RIP Zimbabwe.

Australian beachcomber finds corpse of Giant Squid.

Nope, not having it. At the risk of sounding like one of our more 'poetic' posters, Genius does not content itself with perfecting the art of reaching the lowest common denominator, Genius strives for liberation from stereotype. Right, more beer.

As per usual, Banshees grabs the end of the stick clearly marked "Please Use Other End"

I notice that you didn't include the 'side-splitting' follow-up punchline to that hilarious quip... Something along the lines of "Unless you're a N-word, in which case you say 'again, and again and again'" That was what got the cops into sh*t, and if that's one of his 'better gags' then I hate to think of his average ones.

Did anyone else try to watch his self-written obituary show on the teminally-declining Channel 4 last night. I fell asleep after about half an hour of his maudlin shite and 'tributes' from the like of Roy 'Chubby' Brown. What a crock of crap, I at least thought he would tell a few good gags.

John Demjanjuk, just blind hope I guess.

Excellent, I'll be driving up next Thursday then.

See his winning performance Sort of.

His Wiki has been updated with date of death by "tomandlu" so I'd say most probably correct. Rest In Peace Mr. Melly, you were great entertainment the times I saw you.

Now you mention it, maybe he does look familiar... Ah! Got it, Vic Reeves as Loyd Grossman

Only if he doesn't crush his computer keyboard with those elephantine digits.

Judging by this picture of Alan Johnston, he must have escaped because his kidnappers couldn't find any handcuffs big enough to hold him. Just look at them digits!

Good news on Deathlist. I think we may have some BBC employees out there, what's the atmosphere like today in Wood Lane? Frank Gardener will have competition in the 'I-survived-the-fundamentalists' punditry chair.

A tribute, of sorts. Boots, we salute you.

Windsor, your anger towards women is quite disturbing, would you like to sit on Dr. Banshees (sic) Couch for a while

Isn't that some sort of oxymoron?
