If you're bored, you might want to take this test.

Oh no! Surely you don't mean Mr. Custard? Yes! Mr Custard himself! We should have a whip-round. Like we didn't have for VileBody.

Anyone understand Fiji here? As far as I can work out, it has something to do with murder and contains some sweary words. Edit: Found a Fiji dictionary online: When wherewho just you people English... (swearword) .........you (swearwords)........ hard bad Fathers .....(swearword)

That is typical Iain misinformation. One might even say bullshit. That is why he was put on moderator approval. If any more posts like that appear, just hit the "report" button. They will be attended to in due course.

Well it's Josco's 51st birthday. This thread started with his 50th which seems like only a year ago. This year I've done something very special for Josco. Happy birthday old thing!

Just caught myself writing the following: Wouldn't know the back of me hand if it hit me in the face.

And when he does... prepare for a wave of ranters, Josco's "fat old bugger" comment is still right up there on Google's front page. About time we had some decent ranters round here. The DLRI hasn't seen much action for a while. I think Mr. Josco's due back from his holidays any moment. Wouldn't it be exciting if he came back to find a whole load of bloodthirsty raging Tongans on his doorstep?

Millwall volunteered to infiltrate Brinsworth a couple of months ago and, frankly, disappointed us. The lad seemed to lack the resolve to go through with the project. However, hanging around outside may just be manageable for him. Personally, I would suggest someone local who has a bit more spunk about him. I think I know just the man!

I think I'll just close this thread. Put a stick in the spokes of the Post Warriors. Anyway, it's crap. And it was started by iain.

Excuse me chaps, if this Bill fellow is right, and Dickie is in the habit of nipping down to the shops for a half-bottle of Gordon's and 20 Rothmans, then why don't we send Millwall, BHB or some other Able Fellow down to Twickers to station himself in front of Brinsworth House to wait until he comes out? Perhaps a battered Transit with darkened windows could be arranged. A quick look on Google Earth showed me there's ample parking out front. When our man emerges, all you have to do is tail him down to the offie, go in behind him and engage him in casual conversation, not forgetting to ask after his health and how Tessa is doing. Nothing could be simpler. Now which leading DL member lives nearest to Brinsworth House?

I think I feel a song coming on.

Ye cannae mix matter and antimatter cold Captain! She'll blow tae pieces!

So was any moderatoraly consideration given to my suggestion, or did NAP use his only pastry break to close my (at least for some of us) highly entertaining thread? The system isn't quite broken enough to require fixing. And who doesn't enjoy a good "is he famous enough" debate? Fair enough, just thought I'd put it out there. By the way, I hope I don't get a serious warning for the pastry break comment. I'm trying to channel my daily frustrations through comments that sound insulting but really aren't. With my luck though, it's probably some sort of ultimate insult across the pond. I for one didn't understand the pastry break comment. Not an insult in the UK as far as I know, but as it was so viciously directed at Notapotato perhaps we should ask if he took any umbrage. I don't understand "pastry break" either. I'm sure it's not important, and surely wasn't meant as an insult. I can't remember if I deleted your thread. I do occasionally delete threads which aren't up to Deathlist's high standards, so it's not inconcievable. I've had my say on this subject before, and swore not to bring it up again, but since It obviously bears repeating, I'll state my case once again. 1) I agree there's no need for more than one near misses thread, but it'd be far too complicated to combine the two we have, so let's just leave things the way they are, please not create any more, and for pity's sake stop endlessly and needlessly discussing it. If the discussion about a particular celeb goes on a bit longer, then it can be made into a thread of its own later at the discretion of the moderators. 2) I consider any discussion of whether this corpse or that one is famous enough for one thread or the other or not to be a complete pain in the arse, and an annoying and unnecessary waste of space. That's why I don't read them. It's not what deathlist.net is about. Cowboy Ronnie says he sees that differently, but I suspect he's being sarcastic.

"Incredibly-stupid-go-relatively-lucky-for-the-time-being" would be a more appropriate way of describing iain's personality.

Nice to have you on board new member BorleyRectory. Welcome. Your questions have been troubling us too, for some time. An interesting theory you have there. Feel free to read this thread in its entirety for more details. And do you have to shout? It's Sunday morning for crying out loud! Caps lock is somewhere on the left of your keyboard.

I've been told there's a similarity, though I don't see it myself. If I were you, I should get on to Banshees Scream right away to have that dream properly interpreted.

That one's such a no-brainer that even iain would be bound to get it right.

I'm not entirely sure which security level we're on now, but I'm prettty sure guest posting is allowed. It sounds like you're talking about Hi**er, the guest who tried to take the place over. Don't know what happened to him either. I expect he got his IP banned. anyway, he was a troll and not a ranter. I'm pretty sure the guest who posted with all those ladies' names was "one of us" so to speak. Perhaps a member with a drink problem. (Which would narrow it down to only about 35 suspects. ) I reckon the lack of ranters is down to the fact that we aren't getting as many visitors at all as we were a while back. That probably has to some extent to do with the celebs we are discussing, how much they are in the news, and how far up a Google search their DL thread appears. So there's quite a big element of chance. Of course it helps if DL gets a mention in the tabloid press, but that tends to have other unwanted side effects too.

Iain, would you say that if your life depended on it?

Well said Tempus. the voice of balanced reason as always. Talking of Oxonians and thereabouts, did someone mention Fowler?

I think you're right there CP. I was about to launch into a passionate sermon about the wrongness of "none of us are", when I realised that in speech, I would use that formulation myself wthout any feeling that it's wrong. Doesn't do to think too much, as one of our elder statesmen points out in his signature.

"None" is a contraction of "not (any) one". "Not one of us are as smart as all of us" is complete nonsense because in spite of containing "us", "none of us" is indisputably singular. The comma, is wrong of course. Nuff said?

85% Mr Scott You are a fun-loving foreigner with an amazing ability to get any job done on time. Often described as a "Miracle Worker". Aye, that's me all right, Captain.

That story stinks. If they aren't up to no good then I'm a Dutchman. It's symptomatic of the moral decline of society as a whole I suppose.
