Tuber Mirum

Yes. I'll let them introduce themselves, but the name comes from them being fed up about BC Alum (in particluar) & Chicago wotsit & all his so-called "significant" deaths.... It's not me, but I really wish it was. My guess is harrymacnally or Monoclinic. My money would be on one of those two intellectuals too, if I had any.

That's nice.

What she said. Some very sensible remarks. Ten out of ten.

Happy birthday Custard!

Can I put in a request for not the first weekend in November? I've always managed it but it's damned inconvenient. The weekend after would be better. The 7th of November. The usual place is appropriately themed, conveniently situated but jolly expensive. Didn't somebody say they knew somewhere else nearby which was slightly easier on the pocket? Or we have it in Twickenham so we can take a group photograph in front of Brinsworth House.

She's dead. Link

I wonder if his signature is for real.

Happy Birthday Windsor. Don't get drunk now.

Bob Loblah the poet. Sorry Bob, but that's dreadful. It is sh*te. Reminds me of Art Garfunkel or Leonard Nimoy. Or what was that Australian guy's name? Ron something.

Bugger, I forgot to award points for Robert McNamara. His death consolidates highly suspect mystery team Why Not's lead. Somewhat. I'll do it later. Need to look into the crimes against humanity aspect with this one. Does anyone believe Harry Patch didn't commit Morris Dancing, him being from the West Country and all that?

A few more points and a Quantum Leap into 7th place due to Harry Patch's untimely demise will doubtless be cheering you up no end Mary.

Congratulations Windsor! What do you plan to do next?

Bob Loblah? Is that Timmy's brother?

Not a family member or even a close friend but a valued colleague and a really lovely guy who didn't deserve the years of suffering from more kinds of cancer than I knew there were. Frank.

Oh aye. Strangely enough I gave CP the points for Henry but forgot you. Sorry about that.

In a rare bout of activity I've updated the site for all the recent deaths I could remember. If anybody can be bothered checking to see if I've missed anything, please do. I just assumed Mollie Sugden had been on Celebrity squares, in the light of no compelling evidence to the contrary.

It was a Fomula 2 race he died during. The rules for having a safety line on the wheels or not are probably different between the two series. Sadly.

I shouldn't worry abut that. The Stasi can get to Falkirk.

Funny that. I was just this minute dwelling on what a horrible evil old bag my teacher in Primary 6/7 was, and then someone resurrects trhis old thread. And this morning I was thinking about Nikolai Tesla for no particular reason, only to discover on tuning into Google that today is his birthday. Two coincidences in one day. Three in fact, since the first two coincidences also coincided.

I don't understand any of this. Brains in my feet you know.

Do you mean things like multiple exclamation marks?

Warning! Potentially offensive content!

Obviously. Like in this story which contains remarks from Billy Osbourne already held up to ridicule elsewhere. But in this case it is BBC chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym who should know better. I mean what is obvious about there having been broken glass around? Unsurprising prehaps, but not obvious. Unless the entire BBC News site readership was there and could see or hear the broken glass. Or something. Who is Billy Osbourne? Should I have heard of him? Is he likely to die soon?

But if you don't get out of the house and meet people, you don't have as much of a chance of finding happiness. Now I'm going to be in Aberdeen later on on Wednesday and I'd be delighted to show you where you could have a whale of a time and meet some like-minded young people.
