Deathray

R.I.P you long-term shit with what-i-call "closer-to-gods-door-guilt-trip-syndrome" (note to Miranda Hart's mother; that is the correct use of what-i-call".

He seems like the kind of people deathlist should be going for, self-destructing drug-riddled alcoholics in high-profile meltdowns. Him, Gazza? George Michael? and who else?

Gonna keep it up with Stephen Hawking.

Jim Dobbin, Labour MP for Heywood and Middleton; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29100304 - another by-election on the way then, probably be late October.

The longer we go with no news of Clarissa Eden or Mary Wilson the more I begin to think their deaths may have gone tragically unnoticed. There both very old and on the fringes of fame in modern terms, Clarissa Eden being Britain's first lady before the majority of people alive today we're born. Mary Wilson was a published poet as well, so I can't see her not getting an obit. Neither of them were ever "First Lady", incidentally. The UK is a monarchy, so if that title were to be used, it would be held by the Queen [/pedantry] Sorry, Spouses of the Prime Minister.

The United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland or the Continuing United Kingdom seem most sensible. Elsewise the Alliance of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Various Small Islands and Communities will do.

Couldn't really see it making a difference. If they vote Yes, they'll be rid of him before they change and if they vote no they'll be rid of him in a year. Not much difference either way

Any progress on your replacement yet tmib? it seems were creeping up ever closer to the run up to the next year to settle in you indicated in your departing missive.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/ukips-clacton-candidate-says-he-wont-stand-down-for-douglas Here we go, two UKIP candidates could well spell disaster for the Faragian old-etonian bastards master plan. It's funny that UKIP's last hurrah will be at the hands of their own antiestablishmentarianism.

Where's my post gone? - 26 Dec 2015

Can we put the editor and producer of Great British Bake Off in here? The culprit was clearly Ian for throwing his cake in the bin - despite the best attempts of the editorial team to show otherwise (I suffered about ten minutes of the show to confirm this - that I'll never get back), but that's not my issue. My issue is the BBC decided to report on this as if it was some kind of actual scandal thus massaging their croney press to follow suit and thus fall into the beebs little publicity stunt. It's a fucking baking show, do we need to change the phrase storm in a teacup to whirlwind in a baking tin?

Thank you Galento, I am pleased to say your application to stand as a UKIP candidate in the next election has been successful and will be in touch shortly to advise you of the constituency in which we will place you for election. When/If Scotland gets Indy in Sept, do UKIP have to rebrand? EIP ? rUKIP - Fuck Scotland, Fuck the EU that'd be good on the ballot paper, although I think election rules would be interesting here as to whether Fuck is a qualifying word for the use of Scotland? Also, I can't believe it's more than 4 years since the 2010 election, where's the time gone?

http://www.bbc.co.uk...litics-28967904 So it's finally happened as Rotten Ali or Bibliogryphon (I think, can't be bothered to check the posts), although he's doing it the long way round which will add more drama - seems like a good way for UKIP to test the water for Tory safe seats next year. Whilst I hate the guy, good on him for standing again after defecting - the first politician I can remember doing that. Anyone know who the last was?

Whilst this point is raised by a guest it's a serious one is not. How long can our community survive with the website seemingly no longer regarded by it's owner as worthy of their time - sorry if there's a genuine issue causing this like illness or heaven forbid death but I'd have assumed the latter to have been reported; it would be weird would it not to run a site of this nature and not want the community to know your gone or given this site's origins it would be nigh on impossible for no-one in the owners circles to be aware and relay - so barring illness in which case I apologise - you wouldn't have a sports blog and forum where no actual news was relayed on the blog, would you? Surely if the person who used to update the site (can) no longer (wants to) update it for whatever reason then they should at least look at finding somebody who can? We're in August and not a single update for the whole year, yet the last death of 2013 was adequately updated very quickly. What is going on? How hard can it be to write a paragraph once in a blue moon? To clarify I am aware that this site is a free service and that I really have no right to complain, the fact the forum is still up and free is brilliant and that the person is entitled to do with their site what they wish, that said on a serious note; is the usual updater of the main site (assumedly the site owner) okay? (Yes, I'm also aware that question is a private matter that may not be answered);

He has his own thread What about the end of year researchers? Just kidding, was wondering where my post had went.

Can we make it national policy that he snogs the face of all British politicians and recently imprisoned high profile celebrities, once he's done that he can start on the ppi salesmen and parking attendants. We could make this as a good thing for the country!

I'm 90% certain these two comments were meant to be funny in isolation but together they're hilarious.

Earthquake in California judging by the mercifully non-existent death toll not "The Big One" - magnitude 6.0 apparently whatever that means. It's the fourth in the state this year; does increased activity indicate a higher likelihood of the big one? http://www.bbc.co.uk...canada-28918600

"All this depite being death from the age of eight. She died aged 101." Kathleen Ollerenshaw must have been a busy grim reaper with all that time in service, who's replacing her?

Pished, high, mid-life crisis? Answers on a postcard please.

That sounds like a sure fire winner; almost as sure-fire as my Serving Heads of State team; which at this rate will be a roll over with a altered name.

My understanding of the term honorary in context of heritage, i.e this case of usage was that it referred to someone not born in the area but having lived their so long they had taken on the culture and heritage as their own; rather than a parental heritage thing?

Gladstone? P.S. anyone got any idea why there's so many fucking guests and we're getting "Resource limit reached" errors? People surely can't be this excited over the death of an Irish PM? I was wondering that earlier as well, thought someone important had died but alas not... I kind of want a European monarch to go so we can get the fanfare of a nation mourning a leader and the transition of power, we kind of due one as well given the most recent ones were abdications, old people who used to be queen or king are a bit less exciting than those who still are.. probably have to settle for middle eastern nutjob monarchs for now Harold V of Norway and Queen Elizabeth look about the only likely European contenders.. Anyway this has nothing to do with Cliff Richard..
