Death Watch Beatle

Harry! Great to hear from you! DWB

That's a fair way! DWB

You had to laugh with the Jason King character having all the girls swooning over him - probably Peter Wyngarde's worst nightmare! DWB

Well said Ron. An idea I have been considering for sometime, which I think would bring back some exitement to a rather watered-down sport these days is the re-introduction of the "Le Mans" start - with a twist of course - well actually about twenty turns around a broom-handle held to your forehead after consuming 8 pints of cider on an empty stomach. Think of the hilarity as the drivers weave across the track towards their cars and then repeat the performance in their motors. Just a thought. DWB

Being desperately out of touch with 70/80s bands on the pub circuit, I don't suppose anyone knows if The Stranglers or Squeeze are still going? This is the stuff of my youth. I know The Stranglers pressed on without Hugh when he got banged up but what happened next? DWB

So, you are going to mention this to the organisers and suggest that they don't give you the points, therefore easing you conscience, yes? DWB

It is also interesting to see the correlation between temperature height and amount of questions people feel only the boss can answer. Usually timing their entry into his office to coincide with him taking a lengthy phone call. DWB

An interesting situation occured today at work. Whilst myself and colleagues were slaving away in the factory, the internal temperature was waaay over 100 (old money). So, we ask the boss when we saw him what Health and Safety says is maximum working temperature? Answer: no such thing. There is however a minimum working temperature that if reached ends your working day. This temperature was in danger of being reached in said bosses office whilst his 4 (four) air conditioners worked their buns off! I'm surprised he hadn't reached for his hat and gloves! DWB

Hang in there, pal. DWB

You've got just two months left, what do you think your chances are now? ......give it time. I will stand by my original assertion- as Gay as a window. That's not a phrase I'm familiar with. Now if you had said he's a Nine Bob Note, I would understand much better. Also bent as a bottle of crisps - but I don't think that one is in common usage either. DWB

The way cucumber is packaged. The skin-tight cellophane jacket that I can't seem to be able to remove without resorting to violence. DWB [i should say it's the cucumber wearing the jacket not me, someone was bound to be a smart-arse otherwise!]

Back to the previous subject of commentators - Peter Dreary. This man has a ridiculously exagerated comment for every occassion. And worse of all, I'm actually starting to listen to what Ian Wright has to say! Nurse, my medication please. DWB

This years TT death toll seems to be one: Japanese rider Jun Maeda died on June 6th due to injuries suffered in a practice crash. DWB

South Korea for me at work. Did anyone on this site actually draw a team with a decent chance of success. Admittedly SK have worked miracles in the past, but perhaps not this time! DWB

No, because they would have a different name to you would they not? DWB I seem to remember this chap got pretty short shrift when he registered. Ah, yes. He wasn't deleted though, just encouraged to change his name. Completely different IMHO. DWB

No, because they would have a different name to you would they not? DWB ps Steve Whattley's Gas Oven is now Steve Whatleys Gas Oven pps The admin cp now thinks that an apostrophe is an illegal character. More investigation will take place.

Have a look at the final few posts in the World's Strongest Man thread. Also have a read of Clive Dunn as well. DWB

Another sportsman suffering from a brain tumour is Richard Burns, the 2001 World Rally Champion. http://www.richardburns.com/news.cfm?flag=2&id=349 He is going through some treatment at the moment, so worth keeping an eye on him to see how he fares. DWB

This one is a British report: monstersandcritics.com Any good? DWB

Does this count? Scotland on Sunday DWB

Might I point the honourable members towards a thread called World's Strongest Man where the subject of celebrity death matches was discussed in some detail. I believe it was Chris Moyles who was to take a hiding. DWB

A second stroke for the Manchester United supremo: http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=38...roke+for+Glazer Supposedly not life threatening, but you really don't want to make a habit out of this. DWB

O gods, we have a Necromancer on board. regards, Hein I did it to generate a few posts, a cheap shot, but it seemed to work. DWB

Must admit to some slackness on my part, and wasn't aware this exercise had been done recently. Note to self: Read the posts on the site you are supposed to Admin! DWB

I decided to see which topic was bottom of the pile so to speak, and it was this one - no new posts since October 11 2003 . . . . . . and now I've gone and spoilt it. DWB
