Tuber Mirum

Perhaps something with chutney in it?

Entropy's husband works for NASA. That stands for "Not A Sailor Atall". (I do hope that wasn't a secret, Entropy)

Not to mention the cost in personal liberty. Other countries have used ID cards to protect their citizens. (ie: the purpose of government in the first place) I'm not sure that Mr Blair's intentions are entirely honourable.

Fetching or felching? Or indeed fletching?

An ecumenical matter, eh?

Noodles 'n' Coppers Notapotato. Noodles 'n' Coppers. How did you know? So who's the Noodle? Since Captain Oates is obviously not endowed with much in the way of extra-sensory perception, I shall relate the incident in words of few syllables. Thing is, at the exact moment when Tempus Fugit wrote: Your humble servant happened to be sitting in a police station relishing a Golden Wonder Pot Noodle. Spooky or what?

Getting conciliatory in our old age, aren't we Millwall32?

Don't we have someone here who specialises in speculative etymology? There was that business with "bastertman" a while back. Can't be bothered searching for it.

Indeed, but in this case, I find what happened highly improbable. More the sort of thing one would expect from Banshee's Scream with his Special Powers.

Those ID cards are a bugger of an idea. I mean a lot of countries have had them for ages and they are very good for identifying yourself, preventing identity theft and so on. They haven't done much good in the preventing terrorism department though. Britain hasn't had them up till now and has got along all right without them on the whole. Thing is, Blair's motivation for introducing them now and how he intends to (ab)use the information stored on them is rather questionable to say the least. Read Josco's signature. Anyone have an attribution for that? I pinched it off samizdata.com I think. Britain isn't a republic of course, free or otherwise, as Windsor will confirm.

Noodles 'n' Coppers Notapotato. Noodles 'n' Coppers. How did you know? How could I not know? Nobody knows. Were you watching me?

Elspeth and me.

Noodles 'n' Coppers Notapotato. Noodles 'n' Coppers. How did you know?

Windsor, that's "sceptical".

When you're kicking out a load of bandwidth, hosting isn't free. Advertising is a commercial reality. You'll find it on most internet sites. You take my point though, I presume. I didn't say bandwidth is free. I said it's cheap. As is advertising, but in a different sense.

Pots 'n' kettles Tempus. Pots 'n' kettles.

As if you didn't know... Why not ask your alter ego. Tempus. when the bloody blazes are you going to learn to use question marks? Really! Welcome back Vile Body and Captain Scarlet.

So, if you were only alerted to the exisetnce (sic) of Deathlist this year, how the hell did you manage to join last year? Is there a fake nonspud lurking somewhere? Or is the real one getting a bit confused - the poor love? By "back then" I didn't mean "back then". I meant "back then".

Atta boy Brimley, finally a fellow right-winger on these forums! P.S. what exactly is that in your display picture, for some reason it makes me laugh every time I see it. Ah yes Weatherman90, I remember you never were that hot at noticing sarcasm, were you? (BTW someone was asking about you the other day.)

Yes Mary, how about an apology for your hideous slur on the Lovely Carol?

Mr 'Innocent of Murder' Thorpe looked incredibly frail in the picture I saw in todays Metro. (bottom right Lord Healey, Tony Benn, Dame Betty Boothroyd and John Profumo joined Lady Thatcher at the service Some old favourites there... Blimey, that's never Jeremy Thorpe! He looks bloody awful. Ought to be on next year's list for sure. Compare him to this picture taken during the general election earlier this year I think: (It was googling Thorpe that alerted me to the exisetnce of Deathlist back then so I have a certain sentimental interest in seeing him back on the list.)

You can trust me.

ditto. AND I also used to live in Dennistoun! (not that that's anything to be ashamed of) Belgrove Street. Right next to the railway tracks and with a grandstand view of the abbatoir.

Good idea. In spite of strong evidence to the contrary, your continuing use of AOL was beginning to sow seeds of doubt in my mind as whether you really are all that clever.

I own a drum kit.
