Tuber Mirum

Suits me and scsi too. That's 4 definites for Scotland at the end of August then 'arry, 5 if Yogi comes, plus I'm sure we can *ahem* 'persuade' Windsor . It's clear you'll have to hold an alternative shindig up there. I'll try and set up a videolink. The 28th is no good for me. The week before would be fine.

To my knowledge we have at least four Matthews who post on Deathlist, of whom only two are gay. Does asexual count as gay? Can't see how it would.

There is shite, Harvester of Souls, and there is Shite.

... pot/kettle/black ... Either that, or he has once again baffled the bulk of the DL readership ... Banshees Scream is hardly representative of that profound and erudite body of persons.

Aye, but David Bowie also appears and that can seldom be good. Share your informed opinion on this one mind NAP, fair movie, an opinion also shared by the Voice of Young Maryport who selected it from the rental shelf. I'm not quite sure which informed opinion of mine it is you're agreeing with but I'm touched nonetheless. David Bowie does little harm in The Prestige and the film is otherwise quite entertaining. Watched Twelve Angry Men for the first time last night. A pleasantly diverting little production.

German film actor Ulrich Muehe has died.

As I know from your first epistle to the Corinthians, St P, you've always been into resurrections Wasn't that St. Paul? St. Peter was the guy with the boat. I know cos I went to his church as a kid. Victoria Road. It's flats now. Don't know what happened to the boat. I still have the baptismal certificate if that's any help.

Isn't that Hospital-speak for "dead"?

Can we have it in Scotland please? Second half of August for preference.

What's all this about? You bugger off for half a year and then come back with a thread which mentions Big Brother in its title. If idiots all went about not doing things because they were unnecessary or there was no good reason to, we wouldn't have much out of life, would we?

I live about 20 miles from the Dutch border. Do I ever go there? Do I buggery. It's always the same when you have it right on your doorstep. Like when I lived 10 yards from the Grove Bar. One of the finest and cheapest hostelries in Glasgow. Set foot in the place about twice the whole two years.

George's Funeral. Buried in a decorative cardboard coffin. The trout also puts in an appearance, I'm pleased to see.

and Charlton Heston.

Edit: Or what I mean to say is: Poor old Tuddy. I had a feeling he wasn't long for this world. I seem to recall Rude Kid or that Maxwell House chappie casting aspersions on Tuddenham's obitworthiness. We shall see.

I called that number today and got a lady who very clearly said "This is the residence of Mr. Drabble." Sounded like a servant or perhaps a carer. I muttered my apologies and rang off. I wouldn't take the tractor out of the marinade just yet though. It could be some relative or something. Perhaps someone with more of a plan should give it a go.

DDT, that link to the page with the phone number is the wrong one. But what a scary looking house! And with a brilliant name to boot.

Anyone know what this is all about? Seems to concern us and possibly Suharto. PS: I notice they have a member called Squiddy.

I got a good close up view of Frau Merkel yesterday. For the record, she looks bloody awful, though not in a way that suggests she may be likely to depart this life within a timescale interesting to us.

Condoleezza Rice. And Tom Cruise.

georgemelly.com gives the exact time of death. 2.37am.

Happy birthday Windsor! Keep fighting the Good Fight!

Aye, it never fails to surprise me how people never fail to be surprised by the most natural and obvious aspects of human nature.

Joel Siegel has died. Someone of whom I can't find but passing mention in these pages.

Yes they will. They may also get hit by a Bus, eaten by a Shark or live a full life before dying, lonely in their own wee. Sanctimonious tosser. Or strangled--by me. Nothing like sitting there smoking at a reasonable distance from any other humans and minding your own business only to be reprimanded by a stranger , 'smoking is bad' and then the person drives off in their fume-belching Ford Explorasaurus. Aye, those ugly bastards need putting in the crusher long before smoking is banned.
