Tuber Mirum

You might as well compare anthrax with ebola.

Blimey! I'd like to think you aren't a self-righteous hypocritical git, but I can't quite manage it. You certainly like to assume things about people about whom you know little. There is no harm in predicting when people will die. It doesn't hurt them, and it rarely offends them. It only offends self-righteous hypocritical gits. The person you are attacking in this case clearly has some friends (among whom I am proud to count myself). He is a decent chap who loves his mother, helps old ladies over the road and has a slightly macabre sense of humour which his many friends find quite sympathetic. You on the other hand need a visit from Mr Tickle. Surely if someone has a pole up their ass, literally or figuratively it is usually in their own best interests to remove it. I don't know if you have a pole up your ass, but you certainly give that impression in a strong way. And sarcasm isn't big and it isn't clever. It is the last resort of self righteous etc... Look more closely at the site. On second thoughts dont. Just go away. But first be told: we don't bet on deaths. And we treat the suffering with respect. You seem quite big at jumping to conclusions. We simply observe the inevitable and if we do it with humour, it is done with an underlying respect. One needs a sense of humour to recognise this perhaps, but you came in here guns blazing with your mind made up, and you show little evidence of a sense of humour, or so it would seem. Stuff and nonsense. Who put all that balderdash into your head? There is an old Scottish saying: He who knows he is absolutely right is already more than half way to being completely wrong. Well, there isn't actually, I just made that up, but you get my meaning, I hope. Don't believe you. Pish and tush! He is a perfectly all-right chap. Of course, what are friends for? Madam, I do not wish to know you. Your outrage is prejudiced, misplaced, ill-informed and above all overacted. In short, you are a Tabloid Newspaper.

He's right though. It is fairly rude of SFTD to say that about poor old Eminem. Do you think we should give him a warning? "For being rude to Eminem" or something?

The Happiest of Birthdays, Mr. Horsemen! I think we need to get the weights and measures department to take a look at that "pint" Football Fan just offered you. There also appears to be ice in it. May I respectfully suggest something stronger?

I once shook hands with the Duchess of Kent. Or it may have been Princess Michael, I can't remember. And the chap who played Sneddon in "Take the High Road" once threatened to kick my head in. He didn't do it though.

Ah yes, in Dr. Scream's Secret Online Dictionary I presume. Thanks for pointing that one out CP. I was only out of town for 24 hours or so, but it's good to know someone's watching the ranch.

The "one thread" system worked absolutely fine. I say we go back to it. We could have a poll I suppose.

Aha, the Tabloid Press! Perverters of public opinion and peddlers of evil shite™ since time immemorial. You'd be better off believing what you read on deathlist.net.

Tempus either you are trying to flatter Brimley by emulating him, or Banshees has somehow got hold of your login. Don't know which though.

Fair enough PH. As I see it, anyone who gives any self-critical thought at all to their posting quality is probably all right. Especially if they don't react with abuse and/or denial if someone takes them to task for any ill-considered postings. Anyone else has no business at all in the highly-exclusive pseudo-intellectual clique which is deathlist.net. Sorry you think I'm so serious Mr. Pulphack. Food for thought that is. I certainly don't feel serious. Perhaps I should use smileys more often. Incidentally, I know you don't care, but I'm going to tell you anyway. I'm a chap. Though most of the time I don't much resemble Calum Gilhooley.

Ouch. I hope you'll recover enough to have a wee dram at Easter.Hein No, sadly I have to take antibiotics which appear designed to fell a good-sized horse, so I expect I'll be abdjuring the gravy for a week or so.

I am having a big hole drilled in my jaw tomorrow, so I shall be spending Easter licking my wounds, like as not.

Perhaps a little over priced, but I won. Windsor, with the utmost respect, you are a complete feckin' madman!

Want chips wi' that, Hen?

It's bound to change, but it's unlikely to become the way some of those who feel passionately about it would like it to be. And Banshees needs to drop that woman like a hot potatoe. Just nip round to your local school or college Dr Scream, The place is likely bursting at the seams with nice, respectful, good natured young girls many of whom are probably quite pretty too. Why flagellate yourself? Life is too short. Do yourself a favour. Don't mention it, my pleasure.

Your Eyes Should Be Brown Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart Yup. Nail on the head.

Malakas. Live and learn.

Well since Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers is the best book ever written, chances are you're right. I'm currently reading (or would be if I hadn't put it down somewhere) an Anthropological study of the English by a lady called Kate Fox. Watching the English or somesuch. I can recommend it highly if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.

[german accent]Ah yes!! Zere is no caption for zis picture! It is ze very subtle english humour, just like Monty Pyson! Oh yes! Zese people are so completely bloody stupid zey haff gone into ze sauna viss zeir clothes on! Ha, Ha! And a Football! How terribly vitty! I am so pleased I understand zis i sink.[/german accent]

One does one's best.

Hope not.

We have a small walk-in cupboard which I lined with shelves when we moved in here. Many of the shelves are two deep with books. And then there is the sheet music.. and the CD's.. and the DVD's... The funny thing is that ten years ago I lived in a VW bus and owned next to nothing.

Happy birthday Cowboy Ronnie!

Scholars of the German language may enjoy the following quotation from the Führer: "Heesters, äch bän särr zufrrädän! Äch komme wiedärr!" You had to be there, I suppose.

Well you would say that wouldn't you Heaven?
