Death Watch Beatle

More treatment - but she thinks it's working! DWB

This was one of the very few programs I watched over Christmas - it was excellent (and I never really watched the series to be honest) - Dave's management buy-out is still making me laugh! DWB

My team has been submitted - I do hope it isn't me with a stiff pick! The team is the forever underachieving Brown Bread. DWB

I can't find an appropriate thread for this stupidity so I am putting it here so you all can see it. If someone knows of a thread for this sort of stuff please move it over. It caught my eye because of the 999 heading. Anyway, I had Lusardi down as one of the less dense (ex-)models, but I suppose once a page 3 girl, always a page 3 girl. DWB

Sure, season finishes end of January so will give you a shout nearer the time. NAP - can you join in next season? - that would make it a round dozen teams. DWB I suppose so, if you show me how it goes. I did register there. Must see if I can remember my login. Good man! As I said the season runs to the end of January, so I will give you a nudge a week or two before. DWB

Now, you see, significance can be triggered by any number of things. I am going to vote for Jack Douglas (Carry On films actor), and the reason for this is because his death had escaped me until I did some 11th hour DDP research at lunchtime and got all disappointed. So, the fact that I was shocked to find he had shuffled off without letting me know is significant in my opinion. DWB

Welcome I'm a bit picky, can I just point out the typo in your sig? And feel free to argue with me in the Drunk thread, nobody else does, it would be nice to have some company there now and again! Yeah, you are a bit of a picky sh*t, arent you. Wanna fight? By the way, welcome GS, nice to have some new blood here, not that the old blood is bad at all, well apart from one plumb...but you will know who that is in due course. I'm on dangerous ground here, because my English is so bad, but . . . I'll be a picky sh*t by saying shouldn't that be plum (the fruity kind) instead of plumb? See you in Drunk thread? DWB You are quite right DWB, I could be smart and say that it was plumb as in plumb the depths of.... but i wouldnt dare. Which is why somebody like me who rarely checks his spellings and types with sledgehammers can never be picky. Good to hear from you fella! What's going on, everyone is being nice, stop it, stop it! But at least we all agree that Banshees is a plum/b. Goodwill to all men and all that? DWB

Sorry I missed the board meeting in my office last month. Have made a note to contribute more to the DL next year, but then I did say that last year (this year - if you see what I mean) DWB

It would seem that the correct English is Peruvian Shamans - so says the BBC anyway. DWB

The BBC tribute to this year's casualties. DWB

Peruvian Shamen looking out for Hugo Chavez. "It was predicted that President-elect Obama would have a good start to 2009, but that Venezuela's leader Hugo Chavez would have a "quite a bit of desperation" this year." It's not every day you get a tip-off from a South American witch doctor. DWB

Biggs too scared of real world to be released! Righto! DWB

Bugger! DWB

NAP - Do you still fancy a go? DWB

The computer has sacked the previous manager of Spurs for poor attendance, so if anyone would like to take-over a team in the Death League let me know by PM or a message on this thread. You can change your team name if that helps at all! DWB

The Ashes has now been set in motion. FF United FC v Gravediggers United Crypt Kickers v Knickers United All other teams receive a bye into the next round (lucky buggers!). All matches are one leg, neutral venue, with penalties to decide the winner if necessary. Exciting eh? DWB

How will the cup work though with only 10 teams, if it's instant knock out that means there will be an uneven 5 teams in the second round, does the best placed 'loser' get a second chance or the worst of the 'winners' lose out? Perhaps the winner and runner up of the last cup should get an automatic bye to the second round, therefore keeping things even . Has anyone else had problems logging in to the site today? I couldn't get in earlier, it wouldn't accept my password, yet it's been the same one for months, I got in about 1/2 hour ago but I'm a bit puzzled. I believe the computer will draw 4 teams out for the first round, the rest getting byes. The winners then go through to play the rest of the bunch in the next round. I was going to set it up as a one game neutral venue random draw. I think it will start mid-week in about 11 days time. Was it Tuesdays or Wednesdays our other game slot? This should end the cup a couple of weeks short of the end of the season so as not to take the glory off the Kickers retention of the league title. Didn't have a problem logging on, but that was after 9.30pm though. DWB Edit: That Casual lot seem to have crept up from nowhere!

So you think the champs are finished do you? We are currently dabbling in the transfer market, so don't be so sure we are done for! Could have done with 3 points at home this week though. I know! I'll instigate the cup and mix it up a bit! DWB

Perhaps we could make Portsmouth a tax haven, like the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands? They could have their own money and stamps and everything. If we dug a big moat around it, it would become an offshore tax haven. Any good? DWB

I've seen the "transition team/staff" questionnaire and if you're telling us true, you are screwed for posting here. As for claims to fame, I played American baseball for number of years and once had a brief affair with a minor actress. Harry, name dropping is allowed! Daniel Chatto recently came to my work establishment wanting a new art catalogue printed. Did a little drawing for us and signed it Banksy. He doesn't like the grafitti blokes work and thought his 30-second sketch worthy of his name! Any idea what this scribble might be worth? DWB Edit: I seem to have been beaten to the name dropping comment - but I think that shows we all want to know more!

Worth so much more if you take into account the VAT decrease! DWB

Banned! DWB

My mighty local rag, the Uxbridge Gazette reports that Winona Ryder has been taken to Hillingdon Hospital after landing at Heathrow on a flight from LA. No other details thus far. DWB
