Tuber Mirum

In case there's anyone who hasn't read it yet, the subject of fame and famousness for being famous is handled very nicely in one of Stephen Fry's blessays. The gist of the thing seems to be that it is more suck than blow. On the other subjects. Executions are easy meat and ought at least to be penalised. I wasn't too keen on the age penalties introduced last year, but that's not the question. 16 is fine with me. 3 subs sounds like a good idea. Saves a bit of email traffic. Definitely only one team per person, as far as it can be enforced. Regarding obits, your suggestions sound reasonable. Perhaps an Australian national paper could be accepted too, for the sake of fairness. Unique picks- yes. Wallpaper- perhaps just stripping and varnishing the existing stuff will do the trick. Scoring system- As above. Believe me I know the importance of having a scoring system that the organiser understands.

You've lost me completely on the last line. I think without a doubt CNN should be included as an obituary source. It's CNN which is only one of the most gratified news corporations in the world today... If you want too see the way Derby Dead Pool should be ran talking-obituaries just go check out the rules section of The Canadian Paul Dead Pool. Why not include Fox news as well? I mean as long as it's backed up by a serious reliable news site too.

For somebody who was doing nobody any harm behind closed and locked doors, he got a pretty rough deal I find.

I could do that I suppose. Although it's more work than you're implying. And if the Monopolies Commission doesn't mind. What does the webhosting cost?

Would you be prepared to redecorate (i.e. remove that awful wallpaper) before you move out?

Blake! I thought you were dead!

Well I just looked under my bed, and she certainly isn't there. Quite a relief to know that actually.

Sorry to hear of your troubles Lard and BHB. I'm thinking of you both.

Weatherman is politically biased. Such people should be banned form internet fora.

And I was never aware your ****** had a *****. That's a bit bold to have a ****** with a *****! How on earth do you explain away having such a thing? Then again its not your problem now. Look out NAP its got a *****. If its got one of those then it may have a ******* *****!!!!. So you darned well better be ******* ********! Glad I never ******* touched it! It's true. If you look closely, the****** definitely has a small but distinct *****. And to think I've had it in my pocket all this time! Well I've now put it safely away behind my ******.

That is sad. Wasn't she in Citizen Smith too? My middle name is Braid. I wonder if we were related?

Who was loitering once, with intent A policeman came by with a glint in his eye. What a lucky young lady from Ghent!

Says who? Who says the word 'class' has only one definition? The word 'class' in my view represents the sophistication of a character, I believe sophistication can be purchased. The word 'class' itself can't be categorized, for people of all backgrounds and people of all generations and personalities have a different perception of what the word 'class' spells out to mean. I think the word 'Class' can be compared to 'Heaven' or 'Hell' or even 'Love and Hate' or even more commonly in my eyes the word 'Death' - The only difference is we have seen class and class comes down to an opinion. A characteristic of class 'to me' is an individual who puts their glass down to the table without it making a single sound. Class at it's finest. Class is one of those odd things which can be seen better the farther away you are from them.

Anyone in the Aberdeen area with some spare time on their hands? I wonder if they take postal donations?

Now, what kind of, erm, instrument would that be then? Avoiding the "A brass one" type glib reply of course. DWB A brass Eb Euphamism. Euphamisms are generally built in Bb if I'm very much mistaken.

Aye it was lovely meeting you DWB, I'd have lent you my hangover if I'd known you were missing one. Anubis, I thought I was pleased to meet you but it turns out it's just this ****** in my pocket.

Thank you everyone who came, it was a most enjoyable day, (the bits of it I can still remember anyway) and I think everyone will agree that we're all lovely people. Anubis I have something of yours.

I don't have a husband.

Back in full health. At least, if you trust Tehran Times. Don't forget that there are no homosexuals in Iran. Yes there are. I... Oh never mind.

Happy Birthday Dylan O'Connor! How quickly a year goes by!

Given the continued and unexplained absence of the instigator of Deathcon1, I thought it might be an idea if everybody intending to attend said event would drop me a PM so that we have an idea of numbers and so on. Also because I'm deuced curious to know who all is coming. And anyone who doesn't know where and when it is and wants to should do the same. Thank You.

Happy Birthday Vinegar Tits!

It's all in foreign.

Handrejka! Happy Birthday to you!
