Death Watch Beatle

Now, I'm pretty miffed about JDeL carking it. I ummed and ahhed (spelling?) for ages before Christmas wondering if he was worthy of suggestion or inclusion in this year's list, and in the end I bottled it. Bugger. DWB

Probably duplicate info. to earlier postings, but I'm in a bit of a hurry, so... just heard on the radio that Edwyn is knocking on deaths door (my interpretation) after having a second haemorage and his health getting very much worse. DWB

In the paper this morning, she was taken ill on a flight and rushed to a Paris hospital with vomiting and stomach pains - possibly food poisoning, but the name of the airline wasn't disclosed! Always one to watch with the history of drug abuse etc. etc. DWB

Having an unhealthy fixation on avatars, and why people choose them; why the dishwasher LP7? I think it's really funny, but I don't know why. DWB

I do belive GR is editing the list as we speak LP3. How are you feeling? DWB

Perhaps this is what the Beatles will be called if they reformed now? DWB

No! DWB

Having access to the swear filter, me thinks you could have a bit of a laugh by typing in normal words and having them miraculously changed into different words. For example: My name is Mr. Beatle and I enjoy stringing my beans up in the vegetable garden with a cigarette in my mouth and a hat on my head. Could Become: My name is Mr. Hutchence and I enjoy stringing my balls up in the hotel room with a orange in my mouth and a bag on my head. You see, any simple, inoffensive sentence can be altered without anyone knowing, with hilarious results... ...or perhaps legal action! DWB

Now, is this one for real? I suspect that it could be! If so, I think the British SOH has side-stepped our American cousin. If it isn't for real, I think the American SOH has side-stepped me. DWB

... and seems to be suffering from schizophrenia! DWB

Good ol' Archie Gemmell eh? DWB

Long time, no hear: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4256277.stm DWB

It does make the "I've done one" comment even more amusing now it's divorced from the rest of the thread. DWB

This subject was running on two independent threads, so I thought I would merge them to keep it all together. Unfortunately, the 2 threads merge in date/time order, so some of the replies have now got out of sync. Sorry about that. It seemed like a good idea at the time! DWB Edit: Most apologies to HCW - he seems to have come off worst in this merging fiasco.

I thought I smelt something... DWB

Dear Mr. Jackal Thank you for your complaint. We have put it with the Ken Channon files. Yours The Home Office DWB

This one comes a close second! DWB

From the comments section of the BBC DDP article! This was a particularly fine reply, but the forum generally is hilarious - hours of fun! DWB

And to think we had him on last years list. DWB

Would it help if I changed my name to Death Watch Osmond? DWO

Amanda, have you greased your nipples lately? I'm surprised that Josco hadn't mentioned this when considering what to do with the problem motor vehicle. Just a thought. DWB

Doobie Brothers drummer Keith Knudsen: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4248961.stm DWB

Andrea de Cesaris had a nickname: Andrea de Crasharis. Does this help at all? DWB

I am allowed to start this topic, as I could well have been the first DL contibutor to qualify. If you post-up an idea for someone to be included on the DL or discussed in the forum only to be informed by another that are already dead, usually by some years, please feel free to post up your nomination here so everyone can enjoy it time after time. My contribution whom I suggested in 2004 was: Michael Bentine - died November 26 1996. DWB

I love that Engrish site. Wouldn't you just love to have a Hyper Nonsense World Tabasco Shower. Perhaps you could invite a friend over to enjoy it with you? DWB
