Tuber Mirum

Well thanks a bunch to absolutely bloody nobody who made the effort to think up a humourous headline for Boris Yeltsin's death. I'll tell you what. I'll increase the bonus to 40 points and give you all till the end of next week. There'll be other random bonuses in the future as part of a dynamic and decisive programme for making the scoreboard a bit less one-sided.

Was he related to Johnny Ball?

Indeed, happy birthday Tomb Raider, you Dutchman, you. Have one for me down at 't Paard.

Makes pretty good reading, that article. Unlike most of your posts, dave. Hunchbacked Haitian dwarf, eh?

Whatever, I don't mind. Perhaps we could change the title of this one to include your topic. Or something. I'll leave it this way for now. Perhaps another mod will do something before tomorrow.

Was he related to John Thomas Thalben-Ball?

Don't be silly Windsor. Star Crossed wasn't right. He was a complete dick. Still is, in fact.

Doesn't Josco live in Leeds or thereabouts? BTW: I don't have any virgins either.

Sorry about that. It's fixed now. Here it is again in case of doubt. I accidentally confused it with that story about Windsor's drunken exploits which I was reading simultaneously.

What? Even Josco?

Here comes the Corpse, 40 inches wide.

I know it isn't the 16th of April in the UK yet, but it is here and I'm off to my bed in a minute so please allow me to be the first to say: HAPPY BiRTHDAY! to my (31 year) old pal in eternum+

Was just thinking about Alain Robert and mad bastards in general and I was reminded of Felix Baumgartner the Austrian B.A.S.E jumper. Anyone who does a parachute jump from 95 feet is looking for trouble really.

So "poor people are bad people" is what you're saying to us Banshees Scream?

Maybe it is finally time I used the ignore button, what the f*ck is wrong with you? Now, now TLC. Leave Mr. Rumsfeld alone!

George Bush considered and hit go for soldiers to stay at war and hang around the sand lands with crazy carpet floating towel heads who run around with machine guns. A couple days ago I heard the man speak, and I followed him up on the section of his talk reflecting on matters of protecting and defending your country. In my mind I have no doubt that sooner or later one of these Muja Muja Ambads or Cooca Ras Devars will strike in the worst way, and you can only be creative about where their next target awaits. A bridge or a subway seems essential to me - And the next president has to find a way to eliminate the constant possibility of a unforgiving attack. I believe Bush should have ended this war a long time ago, but the oil issue still remains but the ruin of Iraq shouldn't be our problem. The better president would have come to a reasonable deal already that would effectively come to a solution for both sides. If a draft was in line, my comment would make a turn some major degree, but among these soldiers which all walked their own walk, if you believe keep your faith in god because they choose their own destiny. So that's a "no" then, is it?

Am I alone in not being able to come to terms with the concept of George Bush considering something deeply?

Don't care for the taste of your own medicine , eh Banshees Scream?

He must have been helluvan old.

Looking for (and failing to find any) evidence of German WW1 veteran Herman Solveen's alleged death, I came across this very fine fine page sporting many excellent pictures of very old people past and present. Not to mention some "cool videos of accidents" for our motor racing enthusiasts.

I usually keep an eye out out for Niki's spot after the race to see how he's looking, but sadly this time round I was out of town and only managed to see the first half of the race. If he was there at all, then it's usually a fairly good indicator that he's not that poorly. Particularly as the race was located fairly far off. He missed a couple of races last season with that kidney business I recall.

Take your pick. Ncubes for all.

You will believe in Mermaids, Pixies & pots of gold at the end of rainbows also, no doubt. Along with the Hoax of the 20th century. I have no doubt in my mind that in 50 years, if you'll ever live the day, you will absolutely deny 9-11 did happen. Guess you'll call that the great CNN hoax... There'll be a few of them, I suspect. I, on the other hand, if I'm still alive in fifty years time will probably get stuck in jail for heretically denying that there were thirty-two buildings destroyed and 17,000 people killed.

I thought Evelyn Glennie was from Inverurie.
