Tuber Mirum

Pretty hard to do in summer as the Ardennes gets over run by the Dutch. Not necessarily. One of the best places for a hermit to hide is in a crowd.

Congratulations from me too Football Fan. An excellent choice by the Powers that Be.

If you hear the word "kurva" it's a grievous insult against your mother and you are obliged to go and kick the offender's heid in. Just so that you know.

Don't think much of the colour scheme. Have you met iain yet? I bet he's gagging to contribute to your forum.

The charver stood on the burnin' deck Whence all bu' 'e 'ad fled; The flame tha' li' the battle's wreck Shone round him o'er the dead, like eh. Ye' beautiful an' brigh' 'e stood, As born ter rule the storm; A creature ov 'eroic blood, A proud, though childlike form, like. The flames roll'd on, like eh...'e would no' gan Withou' 'is ol' man's word; Tha' ol' man, fain' in death below, 'is voice no longer 'eard, like eh.

Anyone else get the feeling the fun is going out of this?

You know it makes sense. -Margaret Thatcher.

LFN what nonsense you write. If you met Dave in real life, you would smack him in the chops. And he would come back for more. That's how utterly stupid he is. He has had enough warnings and has shown himself to be an habitual troll with idiocy aforethought. There are people in the world who aren't capable of functioning in a civilised social environment. That's why we have lunatic asylums, and housing estates.

None of those things because you are a made-up person and don't count.

Well that's all right then.

Well it seems I'm not only the cheapest, but also the maddest bastard on Deathlist. Any challengers?

I don't see any need to be too orderly about things. Usually we wait and see if a thread takes off, and if it doesn't it'll either die a natural death or get merged with another in the course of the natural moderation process. In the case of a thread started by Arnold, I'd show it some respect to begin with. For someone with only 20 posts as a member, he's nevertheless a household name on DL and managed to start some of our finest threads. Dickie O' and Patrick Moore to name but two of them.

I'm seriously considering spending Christmas in Hartlepool. Boxing Day dip followed by footie and all that. I'll give it some thought.

Paranoid: Moderate Schizoid: Moderate Schizotypal: High Antisocial: Moderate Borderline: Moderate Histrionic: High Narcissistic: High Avoidant: High Dependent: High Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate That makes me the first person here not to score low for anything. I hereby challenge my old friend Tempus Fugit to do better.

I voted for tammy faye, though it's a toss-up between her and George Melly, who strangely enough has got no votes yet. Or someone else whom we don't have much info about. I mean nobody expected Waldheim to go today, did they?

Hi Harry, nice to see you. A quick google puts us at position 5 for "Kurt Waldheim" and position 1 for "Kurt Waldheim death". Should be a ranter or two in it for us.

Ya wee Beauteee! Little orange exclamation mark duly added. Nice little HDP hit for DavettG as well.

So it seems that nobody here is worth less dead than I am. "Where did it all go wrong, George" I may ask myself. Fiddling around with that questionnaire for a couple of minutes, it reveals that the following attributes are worth their weight in gold: It seems that a body builder who never smokes or drinks and doesn't tan, maintains a healthy balanced diet, is either a dwarf or a giant, suffers from elefanaisis or some other rare affliction, is an albino with no false limbs or disabilities but has had their appendix removed, had a hernia, enjoys perfect vision, takes no painkillers and no sugary drinks isn't exposed to noxious chemicals, takes no medications for insanity, has very long hair, has had serious surgery, is a child and not diabetic will weigh in at $11050. That's the highest price I could manage to generate. Anyone fancy a go at an artist's impression of the chap in question? As only about two of those things apply to me, it's hardly surprising that melting me down wouldn't recoup my scrap value.

$3625 A bit disappointing considering I thought I'd given good (though honest) answers to all the questions. Still, what the hell, when you're dead you're dead. And when I'm dead you'll all be sorry.

Ah, is it he that lives there? - well, whether he should hide or not somewhat depends on what his tastes are. If he fancies a 55 year old bag lady with a fanny like a wizard's sleeve then his luck's in. I am reminded of the words of a sympathetic Scotsman to sir Arnold Bax.

Sounds like he could finally be in for some action.

The Grim Reaper, Cowboy Ronnie and harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy congratulate each other on the death of Cary Grant back in 1986 (Don't we have an anagram thread somewhere, Mr Chysanthemum?)

I don't think "N-word" is offensive at all, unless it is specifically intended in an offensive or demeaning way (which is usually very clear if that is the case). I'd be careful whom I used it in front of, in fact I don't use it much at all, but mainly due to the danger of knee-jerk accusations of racism which is very much greater than the danger of actually insulting a black person, many of whom use the word themselves liberally, or at least have a slightly better developed sense of humour than your average political-correctness hypocrite. I don't watch Big Brother either; I would sooner eat nails. I saw the story on the BBC website, and thought: "Dear God, aren't these people idiotic?" And they are.

What are you being fed Godot, Macdonald's? Taco Bell? No wonder your all disappointed. New York is a great place and there is a lot to do, so I advise you - If for some reason you don't like New York, get on your little Godot row boat, and sail back to your mother country. (By the way who died? ' Nobody told me. Some senator. I wouldn't go near any of that filth. I was thinking more of the Deli filth and huge portions that creates the need for wide pavements (sidewalks) just to get past people. Also there's too many people speaking with American accents. I've had a bad day. Godot, there's a link here to a restaurant which is possibly best avoided in spite of being in one of the more respectable bits of town.

Are you talking about the delicious Czech stuff, or that really horrid disgusting Mrrrcan stuff which is sold under the same name, though pronounced somewhat differently?
