Death Watch Beatle

A quote I found amusing from The Are You Being Served Online Scrapbook. "Arthur English as Mr. Harman. His autobiography, Through the Mill & Beyond by Arthur English, is still available via online used book stores." DWB

Now I see what you mean. It only seems to be this topic that Guests can't post in. Strange. Will look into it. DWB

Guests have been allowed to post since last Saturday morning - they just don't want to it would seem. Guest posting was suspended for a few days last week mainly due to the stupidity of a few in the Hunter thread. DWB

Two other factors that need to be considered: The DL has less and less people on it as the year progresses so it should be slightly less likely to get hits later in the year however... People chosen in December for their likelihood to die in the next year that are still alive late in that year should generally have a slightly higher chance of dying as they are a bit older or are maybe more ill So, in conclusion, I reckon these all these factors cancel each other out and the distribution of successes throughout a year can therefore be considered to be pretty much random.

Only if you turn up to the DL convention - wherever and whenever that may be. DWB

Congrats on taking the lead. May I nominate ff for honorary membership of DLCC? He's singlehandedly outperforming Deathlist.net. regards, Hein Hopefully taking none of the shine off FF's moment of glory, I reckon half a dozen or more DL members could singlehandedly outperform the DL this year. I mention this 'cause I've hit a bit of a purple patch myself these last few weeks (Brown Bread). I've even started dreaming of a top-ten finish. DWB

For your info, Poor Ross Davidson died today, his funeral is on Monday, he has been married for 10 yrs, My husband is the piper at his funeral. RIP Ross. Thanks for the tip-off Candiebar, and sorry about doubting your information. The problem is we get so many hoaxers (well Iain anyway) that it sometimes becomes difficult to separate fact from fiction. Thanks for taking the time to let us know. The Sun DWB

For your info, Poor Ross Davidson died today, his funeral is on Monday, he has been married for 10 yrs, My husband is the piper at his funeral. RIP Ross. Supposedly this is being reported on BBC Radio News, if you choose to believe Wiki. As I have said on other threads in the past - "Please substantiate your claim with a reliable news report". DWB

Would have been a good pick for us 4 years ago, had he been at all famous. DWB

12 pints = six? What sort of maths is that? DWB

Seeing this thread again reminded me to take another look at Eddie Kidd's website, just in the name of research you understand. He keeps a diary of sorts: http://www.eddiekidd.com/diary.asp It is full of interesting stuff such as: "My stairlift broke down at the end of August, I spoke to Nikki from UK Mobilities who kindly part sponsored a new one in return for a couple of public appearances. ps Nikki drives a hard deal. It is up and running now and is cushty." Worth a read if watching paint dry is your bag. DWB

I would also suggest that if this idea is to be taken seriously, the final date and venue be kept off the board, unless you fancy being knifed by a PH ranter. DWB

I could take part if the venue was London. Unless of course, you don't want a boring Admin spoiling the party. DWB

Al Oerter - perhaps America's greatest Olympian? Now 70 years old. http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/71825.shtml Choice quote as follows: "In May 2002 I was diagnosed with severe heart failure. There's a defibrillator inside my chest – you know, like two paddles – and if I fall down, it fires up and restarts my heart. "I was at a board meeting of our local condominium community, and suddenly felt terrible. I had cardiac myopathy. I was dead. I flatlined. There was so much congestive fluid that the defibrillator wouldn't even work. They got my wife, and called my daughters yet here I am. "When doctors heard I'd been dead-lifting 600lbs, deep-knee squatting 750, and benching 500, they could not believe how I'd survived so long." A new name for the DL. DWB

Eddy I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts - good stuff! Even better stuff - I see you have decided to join us. I hope you enjoy the banter. DWB

In the chat we were taking bets if we'd beat the 380 record. My bet is that we might reach 417, but it doesn't look good. We'll see what tomorrow brings. regards, Hein I saw it hovering around 270 for a while - not bad for a snooker player in the small hours. DWB

Should I signal the all clear yet? Second wave due in about four / five hours me thinks. DWB

If that load of utter gobshite is representative of the genreal level of ability of your menbership, it probalby explains why you're such a sad bunch of lonle y F*****g losers. RIP Paul Hunter p.s. and no, I'm not going to waste my time reading he whole site; I know what makes you sick perverts tick. So do other guests from what I read. This is my "parting shot" lol knobs. I'm off to a proper site to pay my res[pects to Paul Hunter. Good night, and F**k off! No, that load of utter gobshite is not representative of the general level of ability of our membership. It is representative of BB after he has been on the Sherry. You really should waste some of your time reading the site - you may find it informative and interesting, and dare I say it, amusing at times. I'm hurt that you don't consider this site proper though. DWB

Shut up. (Thats all the time I'm allocating to that one.) paul hunter sadly passed away 2day from cancer Dear Guest Please substantiate your claim. He is in my DDP team and thus I am very interested in such news. DWB Dear Guest I now consider your claim to be well and truly substantiated. Thanks for posting the news. DWB

Sheryl Crow has now been given the all clear. http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3822208a5620,00.html DWB

Hey Anubis, go on thinking like this and you will never win. You want knowledge, make the phone calls, go to autograph signings, knock on doors. You can be the servant of Deathlist. The only reason why that doesn't work is because you live in Egypt. If you even live there. Go on, lad. You keep thinking like that! DWB

Mr. T is pushing a book about his battle against cancer: http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/artic...r%20all_1009955 Seems like he is in remission at the moment. DWB

No excuses really - should spend more time doing my research - 10 minutes while feeding the baby doesn't really cut it in the international world of death does it? Hangs head in shame and shambles off DWB

Walter Hadlee not doing so well. http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/latest/20060...ain_gravely_ill DWB
