Tuber Mirum

According to this article (The highly articulate Mr. Revell's "sack of sh*t" link) I wonder if this is one of the BBC's frequent typos and should read : "Mr Marsden recently announced he had a tuber on his shoulder." That would certainly explain why he defacated to the Liberal Democrats in the first place.

I would add my support to Lady Grendel's remarks. There is, after all, more than one way to skin a cat. Imagination and dynamism are more than adequate substitutes for lack of academic eminence or ambition. And it is rarely too late to catch up on what one may feel one has missed earlier in life, if one only has the courage to do so.

Not as likely as Steve Irwin getting done in by a crocodile. Or is that all staged, and the crocodiles are members of Equity?

Does anyone else see anything suspicious in the following sequence of events? 1) It is reported that postal voting is insecure and open to abuse. 2) Applications for postal votes quadruple in number compared to the last election. Bearing in mind Mr Blair's close relationship with "President" Bush of the USA, it wouldn't require a particularly talented conspiracy theorist to come up with a conspiracy theory of some sort.

Wouldn't it be a lot nicer of you just to forgive us all for being such a load of sick wa*kers and then wish us a nice day?

So it would seem.

Correction: You are an imbecile! Quite right Terminator! Imagine trying to tar us all with the same brush as some of the loonies who rant here!

In case that link doesn't work (which it doesn't) here is one which does.

Spooky indeed, since at the time of taking, the subject of that photograph (a certain elderly gentleman known as Mr. Thuthmosis I) had already been deceased for more years than I would care to remember.

I was going to say, I couldn't find any evidence that Misch has cancer. Apparently there is another old ex-Nazi on the go called Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven but he's not as well known as Misch. Good name though.

Rochus Misch (87) was Hitler's adjutant and the last survivor of the Bunker. I think he's still alive since he was speaking on the radio here last night. He would be bound to get a mention in the press when he finally drops.

I've no experience of it myself of course, but I believe many Americans are keen on a product known as Crisco.

Will he be #6 on this year's list? On the subject of former presidents and all that, I am led to believe that when a president becomes a former president a library is built in his honour. I am currently much occupied by the problem of which books (apart from the obvious "My Pet Goat") might be appropriate for the present incumbent's memorial library particularly considering the fact that he is known not to be a great reader. Indeed it is doubtful whether he is any more literate than the well-known Mr Quayle who couldn't even spell the name of a simple root vegetable. And that's me trying to put it nicely. Does anyone have any constructive suggestions?

Schpelling, Schmelling

The Italians call him "Papa Ratzi" Surprisingly, the BBC came out with the best one though: "The German Shepherd"

Thanks for setting us right on that Herr None. I shall inform the relevant authorities immediately and we'll get right on to sorting it out just as soon as we've finished painting the Forth Rail Bridge.

Joopi Heesters (as he is known) is a very fit old man. He regularly does sport, and has a wife who is a good bit younger than he is (which may or may not be beneficial for his continued longevity). I can't see him dropping off just yet, but at his age you can't expect many more years. It'd be a bit of a risk putting him on the list, as there is no guarantee that the UK press would pick up on his death.

Oh my goodness! You must have an extremely low opinion of all the others if you think they are worse than that vacuous windbag. Either that or you are a blithering idiot.

Probably when the oil and gas run out, the other forms of energy will become more viable. How lucky we are that thanks to Mrs Thatcher's forethought we still have large reserves of coal under the ground. Aren't those Ohioans dickheads? It is no surprise that the world is going to the dogs when it contains such folks. I'm pleased the LibDems are doing so well in our poll. I wonder if the lack of Labour votes is indicative of the leanings of the DeathList membership or more of atitudes in the country as a whole?

Do you mean Eduardo Paolozzi? I haven't seen any evidence that he's dead though. Some quite good sculptures and collages including that big silver tubular thing in Aberdeen Art Gallery. (Of course you know it!) <edit>Aha! it is He! Paolozzi Dies </edit>

Good on ya LP7!!! Go the LibDems! Go! Go! Go!

And is your Avatar Mr. Claypole from "Rentaghost"?

You are right. The more famous someone is, the further down a Google search his Deathlist entry will be. So for "more" simply read "less". Then it makes perfect sense. Sort of.

Or the contrary, if Bjelke-Petersen is not four times more famous than Emlyn Hughes and several thousand times more famous than His Late Holiness Pope John Paul II.
