Death Watch Beatle

I'd always assumed that the fromH bit meant from Hell, but I could be completely wrong. DWB

This one is out of my hands I'm afraid. The front page stuff comes live and direct from the Reaper himself, hence, sometimes, the lag between a death and a front page update. If the Reaper is busy the page stays the same! I suppose what I am trying to say is: It's somebody else's problem! DWB

Do you want me to try and fix this problem? I have had success in turning josco into a Josco! DWB

How about the episode when the devil sells a song to a band in exchange for a good recipe. Is that the one? DWB

You need to remember all these when the people to eventually peg-out. These are exactly the kind of material required for the headline on the home page. Rosa Parks - Does She? With thanks to Eric Morcambe. DWB

Breaking the Twunt barrier, must be like breaking the pain-barrier. It's the most horrible feeling for a while, and then afterwards, you wonder what all the fuss was about. Luckily I am some way away from experiencing the power of Twunt. DWB

Well, I do have to negotiate 2 roundabouts and one set of traffic lights on my cycle to work each morning. Anything could happen in those fifteen minutes! DWB (Who is not at all famous)

He looks old, fat, bald and tired to me. I look old, fat, bald and tired to me. DWB

If I told you, I would have to kill you. DWB

In order to be a post-twunt, you have to make it to twunt first, otherwise you are still, technically, a pre-twunt. DWB

Thankfully nobody has suggested that the mods and admin have to appear nude in it with coffins and hymn books 'strategically' placed in the shots. I understand it's all the rage! DWB

Perhaps a barbeque set would be more appropriate? Or a toaster? DWB

Death Watch Beatle. Slightly more interesting than Death Watch Beetle. Don't have any particular liking of the Beatles, more a Rolling Stones man myself. Let's hope it's McCartney next. DWB

Very little mention of a Death Watch Beatle, except this quote: Since George Harrison first revealed that he had successfully treated throat cancer in 1997, the Daily Mail and its Sunday sister paper have been in the forefront of the tabloid pack chasing the story to see if new ill-health would arise. Death sells newspapers. And stories of imminent death are a close second. In this respect the British tabloids have been keeping a death-watch on the ex-Beatle. Making Harrison literally a Death Watch Beatle. So there you have it. DWB

Down at the petrol garage this evening, whilst waiting to pay, I spy a crappy woman's mag. with VB on the cover and the splash: "Shock pictures - Victoria Beckham now only weighs 6 stone!" Health risk? DWB

Mr. Burns has now had an operation on his brain: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/motorsport/wo...lly/4485241.stm Although this news is from April, I still recommend a watching brief on this chap. DWB

Better still, nip up for an autograph at the end, and open with the time-honoured greeting of "How are you doing?" Then report back to us with the answer. DWB

I just heard he died of heart failure. Is that right? DWB

FAO: Does It Matter I have been mulling over the idea that you might have been Mrs. Davidson the 1st. Would you tell us if you were? DWB

Now that the nights are drawing in, beer seems to be losing it's strangle hold on my taste-buds and I really fancy a dry Martini. I have never had a proper dry Martini, I have often promised myself a trip to a London hotel bar to order one, but it has never happened. I believe that James Bond had it wrong, and it should be stirred not shaken. Has anyone else had this drink (properly mixed and served)? Is it worth seeking out? DWB

Dennis Potter of "The Singing Detective" fame? DWB

I need a bit of advice here. This isn't the first time that a comment like this has surfaced. I am aware that Pete is a singer, so I'll give you music, but where do the other two come into it? I'm not aware of any great paintings, or sculptures, or sonnets, or anything really that qualifies him for these titles. DWB

I'm not sure, but my guess is a twunt who posts a lot. regards, Hein Ah, allow me to correct you on this matter. You have to be quick to see it, but in order to be a post-twunt, you have to be a pre-twunt first (most of us are), then you become a full-blown twunt, followed by post-twuntiveness. HTH DWB

OK, you seem to be a little light on posts - most of us mods have had to work up to mod status. I myself had to pass a large brown envelope GRs way to get Admin - and I can assure you it was painful! DWB

Have you known Grim Reaper / Stayin' Alive long? DWB
