Tuber Mirum

Looking over OMJ and Terminator's postings, I notice they are all made between the hours of 11am and 6pm. More at lunchtime than at any other time. This implies that they are colleagues at some place of employment. If anyone wanted to have two identities on the Deathlist it would not exactly be rocket science to connect over different proxy severs so as to hide the fact that they are in the same place. If you have several computers at home (as I do) then it would be extremely simple. That would probably also be a way of getting round the ISP blocker thingy. (Like the way we all got to look at the US Republican Party's website which was only visible to Americans in the time before the "election") Not that anyone would want to bother doing something like that though But I do wonder what the mods are up to sometimes

Portuguese is the 7th most widely spoken language in the world with 170,000,000 native speakers. Admittedly there are more Spanish and English speakers, not to mention Chinese, but it's hardly hardly anyone else.

Well most Dutch people can speak English. As can many Scots. Enough said. Probably.

Sounds like she was a thoroughly nasty piece of work. I'm glad I'd never heard of her.

Seven Google results, and I'm none the wiser... (No disrespect to Mr IYG, of course) Look for PWND. Apart from standing for Punk Will Never Die (a highly controversial claim possibly worthy of discussion on these pages) it means something else to do with getting killed in a computer game or generally getting one's come-uppance, one's just desserts, one's sins finding one out, meeting one's Nemesis and all that sort of thing. Apparently. Perhaps OMJ and terminator are brothers or flatmates or students in a hall of residence or something who have to share a computer. Anything is possible. Though many things which are possible may not necessarily be desirable. Or likely for that matter.

My exboyfriend managed to trap his 'bits' in the boot of a Maxi (whatever that is) when he was seven. He had to wait, in considerable agony, whilst his parents unlocked the boot and freed him.

My sources in the Blake's 7 world inform me that Jacqueline Pearce (Played Servalan, "the thinking sex-maniac's Margaret Thatcher") has breast cancer, but isn't expected to die just yet. Or so they say.

Anyway you missed out Schmeling and Emlyn Hughes.

This is a good car: The Alfa 164. Fun to drive. Particularly the 3 Liter version. They don't cost that much any more but the running costs are fairly high. A friend of mine had one and I enjoyed driving it very much. Don't be sad Amanda. Remember the words of Mr. Josco: "When one door closes, another opens."

If you know exactly what is wrong, you could also find out what it would cost to sort for someone who can do the work in their own workshop with spare parts from the junkyard. Then you can be absolutely honest about it, but of course draw the potential buyers attention to all the good things about the car too, such as the perfect paintwork, the clean interior, the almost-new tyres etc. You can be honest about it, but without being too negative at the same time. Then you are doing yourself and the buyer a favour. I'd love to know what the mechanic said is wrong with your car, and what kind of a fault can be fixed temporarily by fiddling with the mixture. Your new thread is turning into quite a lively political discussion. Is Josco's Little Man really "full up"? I don't suppose you would know the answer to that.

They are all professional. With a few rare exceptions not one of them has ever had a proper job. I think we ought to try a system where our elected politicians do NOT get paid, but do the job part time out of a sense of duty. Surely there are enough laws, do we need a full time executive? I may be mistaken (I often am) but I am sure I read somewhere that Switzerland's parliament meet once a week, and everything seems to tick along quite nicely there. Full time professional politicians must surely end up creating work to the detriment of the rest of us. I meant professional in the sense of doing a job to a high standard. Unlike your average House of Commons dilletant. How many of them know anything about politics or economics beyond a blinkered adherance to obsolete dogma? Damn few and fewer still on the front benches. They are the embodiment of those who voted for them. Even common sense is beyond many of them. In Switzerland they have a lot of referenda so the people are directly involved in decision making. It is not unheard of for them to vote for tax increases. Have you heard the standard of debate in the Commons? It is crap.

Or more properly, du hasst No, still not making any sense..... Not incompehensible to me, but crap nonetheless.

Surely you don't mean........ Yellow!!!! Wouldn't catch me voting for any of them. But that's because I live abroad and it's a small price to pay not to have to pay the poll tax. And of course because they are all useless. I don't know where Mr Josco got the idea from that there are professional politicians going around somewhere. Perhaps the Liberals should get a chance. They weren't that bad 150 years ago or so. Is that old poof Jeremy Thorpe still alive? He had Parkinson's didn't he? He was on the list in '94 and again in '96. ( BTW: It was doing a Google search for Thorpe that I first came across the Deathlist all those years ago) Oh look! He is on my DDP list. I had forgotten. Not much chance of him going this year then

Exactly. That's why I said I believe that Paisley's death will be the necessary first step to some kind of agreement for peace.

So what is wrong with him anyway? Did you get a second opinion? If it's something that someone with their own garage could fix easily enough, then as long as you tell them what is wrong, you can be honest and still get a reasonable price. How about a trade-in? You might get more than he's worth that way (if you don't mind buying a crappy Ford or Skoda on the cheap & nasty.) Pleased to see you are back anyway. I was worried Mr Jury might have driven you away Pay no attention to Mr. Josco. Obviously his preference for Straight Hendrick's over Gay Gordon's leads him to believe that politicians of one colour are less likely to lie than those of another. At his age he should know better.

It takes all sorts...

I.... I.... er.... Corwumph! Fossilised fish-hooks!

The German photo magazines without actually saying "he is dead" are talking as though Rainier were already gone. Probably they had a deadline and were pretty sure he would die before the edition hit the streets. But he didn't.

Yeah, yeah, Nobody asked you to come here. I disagree with the other posters who praise you for not abusing us much. True you didn't use any swearwords, (except one which you couldn't bear to spell correctly. How anal can you get??) but accusing us of "departure from the norms of decency and respect" and saying we "don't understand decency" is pretty heavy abuse in my book, however eloquently expressed. And what is that bullshit about "heroic acts" (reminds me of Mark Chapman for some reason) and "lifetime achievements"? If you are the sort of retromingal onanist who has no respect for his friends (if indeed he has any) when they don't go about designing cathedrals, winning olympic medals and generally going down in history, then I for one have no wish to know you Sir.

Has anyone seen any evidence to support the belief that she wasn't quite such a Howling Dog as now when she was a few years younger?

I'm sureI don't know what you're talking about! I don't need to hold a gun to a pussy to get her to show me her chick. Like the new avatar, though. Much less intimidating. BTW: It turns out his late Holiness wasn't a good pope after all! PS: (Don't miss the same chap's views on voting and hell)

There she is. The nasty, horrid old bag.

One of Tango Brigade eh? I mean, an Orange Man. Perhaps now would be an appropriate moment for Orangemen to sing one of their favourite songs: "Oh no pope in Rome...."

Yep. I was watching the telly on both occasions. And when the second plane hit the World Trade Centre. Spooky, eh? Apparently I was was watching when Neil Armstrong took man's first steps on the moon too (I was too young to remember). I too was watching telly when the second plane stuck the WTC. The telly in question was in the TV department of WalMart at the time. Strangely enough it was that event which began raising my awareness of US politics to a point where I now know that I don't ever want to shop at WalMart. (I was 8 weeks old when the (alleged) moon landing took place. We didn't own a TV back then.)
