Anubis the Jackal

Actually, you'll find photographic evidence in historical archives that ghosts can appear in Victorian garb, 1970's gear and indeed in the outfit of a medieval jester...

My Dad has requested this little belter to be played at his... "AIN'T IT GRAND, TO BE BLOOMIN' WELL DEAD! by Leslie Sarony Lately there's nothing but trouble, grief and strife There's not much attraction about this bloomin' life Last night I dreamt I was bloomin' well dead As I went to the funeral, I bloomin' well said, Look at the flowers, bloomin' great orchids Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! And look at the corfin, bloomin' great 'andles Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! I was so 'appy to think that I'd popped off I said to a bloke with a nasty, 'acking cough Look at the black 'earse, bloomin' great 'orses Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! Look at the bearers, all in their frock coats Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! And look at their top 'ats, polished with Guiness Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! Some people there were praying for me soul I said, 'It's the first time I've been off the dole' Look at the mourners, bloomin' well sozzled Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! Look at the children, bloomin' excited Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! Look at the neighbours, bloomin' delighted Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! 'Spend the insurance', I murmered, 'for alack 'You know I shan't be with you going back.' Look at the Missus, bloomin' well laughing Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! Look at me Sister, bloomin new 'at on Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! And look at me Brother, bloomin' cigar on Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead! We come from clay and we all go back they say Don't 'eave a brick it may be your Aunty May Look at me Grandma, bloomin' great haybag Ain't it grand, to be bloomin' well dead!

Nothing doing in North London, hot, dry and hazy skies I'm afraid.

In response to Mr. Keane, I've not only seen Mr. D play a few times, solo, with The Libertines and regrettably with his latest band. He is appalling. Cheap junkie charisma does not make up for a distinct lack of memorable songs and his core audience seems to consist of 'alienated' young girls and posing ineffectual chaps trying but failing to build up some sort of outcast community. I have also had dealings (of a non-narcotic nature) with his outfit and can happily report that he is a total arse. Now bugger off back to the Pete Doherty Hagiography site, there's a good fellow.

Dagenham?

I find this amusing, I'm not sure why. It's because you're a filth-hound

Born in leafy North London and ended up in South-East Skagtown Hope to escape soon. Blimey, are we on some sort of 'Life Swap' reality TV show?

Escaped South-East Seaside SkagTown to London's gold-paved streets.

The Onion. America's finest news source... That's for you Inar.

Err... You haven't met our paramilitary wing yet I take it. Glad you like the forum, feel free to pop by again.

This may be a clue... I'd say The Peoples' Republic of Yorkshire.

*sniff* Though I do not know of this player, he was one of us. In what way? Born in Germany, lived in Israel most of his life. Traveled a lot for a young man and lived in Houston, USA, Texas?

Commentator on what? Hopefully not Horses

Hats off to you Sir.

Are you sure you haven't got your threads confused?

I believe the phrase is "Bring It On!" We fight mob-handed and dirty.

President of Iraq says Saddam should be executed 20 times daily Would we get bonus points?

Well isn't that special Well, what a perceptive quiz that was!

So to summarise... Keep it short (number wise), keep it sweet (at least to fellow members) and try to stick to the defining themes of Deathlist as found in the unwritten rulebook. 1.) The death, ill-health or infirmity of celebrities. 2.) The character assassination of Art Garfunkel. 3.) The apparently super-human powers of Clive Dunn. This will serve you as well in life as in Deathlist. ATJ Benevolent A*sehole

An apposite quote from J K considering the devastation in the Southern United States. “The greater the wealth, the thicker will be the dirt. This indubitably describes a tendency of our time.” The Affluent Society 1958

Certainly not. It's not like I ever post anything decent anyway. this thread will self destruct in 5 minutes.

Mr Body, you have access to a very fine dictionary.

*squints at screen...rubs eyes...squints again...looks at bottle in hand...throws it over shoulder...shrugs* That is hilarious!

It's a musical instrument, made from garden produce and played with a knife. Bluff!

I think the problem is one of quality control. Certain posters seem to have got the idea, others haven't. Threads are spiralling into petty name-calling and abuse, even without the interjections of rabid snooker fans or crazy Maltesers. This in addition to pointless bickering about the mechanics of the Deathlist (number of moderators, over-posting etc) I'll leave this thread / poll open for a while, then swing the scythe. I'm an a*sehole like that.
