HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Mr+Mrs Josco esq. - however many years it is!!!

I really do not know what to say. Eternal companionship in this life and the next... can't be bad.

Sven's Morrisy impression went down like a lead balloon. ( ps, Godot and Windsor - - excellent comparisons between HRH and Tubbs!! Laughed loads, thank you!)

Unfortunately, I never saw the documentary - I have very young children, and as soon as they go to sleep, I'm knackered and do the same! As neither of my children is into watching spoof documentaries, I'll have to wait a few years for them to ( hopefully ) become less demanding and then I can watch it myself. Children do become less semanding as they get older don't they??? Please say yes! ( Just an after-thought, why are some unregistered guests unable to use punctuation? They seem to be in such a hurry - too busy to use those awkward dots and things. Slow down people, take it easy, use punctuation.)

I bought a Midwinter Marguariet Tea-Set for my mother for Mother's Day. A sickly looking pink tea-pot and mathcing sickly looking pink milk-jug, sugar bowl and two tea cups. She likes it. Luckily. I HATE shopping. I HATE supermarkets ( is this turning into a rant??), the last thing I bought was some guacamole - which is the only thing that makes going to the supermarket worth while!!

I'm not sure I want to come back as a parrot, I think I'd rather reamin between worlds and do some serious haunting. I've only been a member of the DL for a short time, but some of you out there have been here for years... surely you deserve a mention when your inner-clock has ticked it's last tick?? Maybe we should all just write our own Notices of Death now... hmmm... what would I say about me??

I've got a nasty, dry cough. Seems that just as the baby is closing her eyes to fall asleep, the damn cough starts up. No sleeping babies in my house at the moment.

I didn't know where to post this, so I picked a thread that seems to fit...almost...ish. What happens when I die? Although I'm not in any way famous, (or, in fact, aware that I'm dying) I was wondering that as I'm a DL member, do I get a mention here when I die? I was on TV once. When I was 13 and the pupils in my school went on strike because the teachers were striking too much, I was on the news as one of the ' striking' youths. I took that as a compliment, by the way. Doesn't count does it?????? Anyway, getting back to my point, , should I put a note in my will to have someone inform the DL of my demise, which will then be posted in the RIP DLMembers thread? [Moved from the Deathlist Howto thread - ff]

When the Grim Reaper takes a holiday, guess who takes his place.......

Mine should be hazel, to reflect my intellect and sensuality. Hmmmm. They're blue though. What does that reflect????

Thank you! My husband has heard of Don Ho, who apparently plays quite a traditional uke-style. (?) He said I should ask if you've heard of Jake Shimabukuro - he's more modern and funky,... apparently.(!).. I don't believe he's any nearer to death than I am at the moment either, so I shouldn't be discussing him here. To all uke fans out there, visit Fourth Peg... you can ramble on about way-interesting( ) things there.

I voted for Elizabeth Taylor simply because she grates on my nerves. Not only is she Jacko's friend, she looks a few parts dead already and she just annoys me. Is that ok?

I don't know if he's already been mentioned, or if no-one but my ukulele-mad other-half even knows of his existance, but Bill Tapia is getting on a bit now. Last legs maybe??

Death maybe???? Should we alert the police? Isn't this just the same as bottles of milk left on the doorstep for three weeks before anyone realises that the occupants of the house have all been murdered in their beds???? No... Oh well. My over active imagination then. Maybe I need to do something to keep it busy. Any suggestions... nice ones please...?

Marrying Camilla certainly has changed Charles.

Hey, I'm coming back as a parrot too so how do I apply? Seriously though, I was kind of hoping to come back as a lion or something more... exciting than a parrot. I've decided that I'm not going to die now until they re-calculate my score.

I read this about five years ago, and I told the ( edited ) story to my year 3 class over a week or so. They LOVED it. Absolutely hooked. I'm re-reading all of my Douglas Adams stuff at the moment - not all at the same time though. I would recommend his work to everyone.

Those are wise words and I think I shall follow your lead and not even try to post about new deaths from now on.

Welcome, Gelgoog of Doom, from a fellow newbie!

Hmmm. I am obviously not all here today. I noticed the mention of his death, entered his name in the DL search and came up with no matches, so figured he wasn't on here. My mistake, Sorry.

Damnit. That ' Guest ' was me. Forgot to log in AGAIN!!!

(We should get some good mileage from this one.) TB: How long....should...we.....shake hands....for? GB: Jusht keep on holding, my friend, keep the gournalisms happy.

I went to the dentist recently to get a filling replaced... Later at the reception desk when presented with my bill ($110 NZD if you're interested), I asked how much extra I would have been charged for an injection. "Extra?" said the receptionist, "It's all inclusive." Bastards. Nasty, nasty, nasty!!!! I could have paid £80. for each wisdom tooth extracted, one per visit, over three months. I paid £250. to a different dentist who sedated me and removed all three problem teeth in one go. Unbearable pain afterwards, but well worth the money! How gruesom is that?!!

"Honestly, I ......am .......listening." Says the PM as he sips a glass of Dubya's-own-made.
