Can't find the earlier thread on Gerry and his mate Martin McGuinness. Gerry's name - it has just been revealed - has turned up on a loyalist hit list. No surprise there. But many in that camp hate Adams and McGuinness for their work in going for ballots over bullets. Reckon is an outside risk of violent death for the rest of his life.

I'm sure that's what his one dedicated fan - who kept posting under different names a few weeks back - would like us to think.

Been missing this popular thread and the lively banter so I thought I'd reheat it. If any passing Dickie O fans are around perhaps they could answer the following: Why is he in a REST home. Is it because that's where he'll spend the REST of his life?

Some of us have been watching this space since July 18th when 'Iain' posted the above. In this time the said space fell to 50th place in this esteemed list and BD continued to breathe, albeit probably in a laboured fashion. Anyone know how he's doing now?

He's scoring pretty well for such an omission on the forum poll at the moment. Anyone of like mind should get over their and cast their vote.

Two I feel strongly about: Maradonna: Too healthy and too busy enjoying life to croak soon. Karzai: Smart enough to survive (probably) and - more to the point - obviously good at playing the western interests off against the domestic warlords meaning EVERYONE knows someone else in the job would be bad news.

Read loads on this and watched all the big documentaries years ago. My hunch, a cover up and a cock up. Her doctor/analyst cleaned up the evidence but he wasn't protecting the Kennedy family, he was protecting himself from evidence of over-prescribing barbiturates and failing to appreciate the state his patient was in.

So it's not about correct useage of grammar!

Do you think having a total loss of a surname made him a target for bullying and - in the end - helped him grow up hard and sturdy?

I'm not budging from this thread until Banshees pronounces the promised judgement.

A few points from the above, Gary Glitter did co-write most of his hits with producer Mike Leander. He was bankrupt by the end of the seventies but made a fortune from live work until he took his computer in to be fixed. So, sadly, he'll die a rich man and the drop in record sales and radio play that has all but dried up his composer's royalties won't really hurt him. Roland Ratzenberger: Crashed his Simtek car in practice for the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, killing himself. Ruebens Barrichello almost died the same weekend before Senna died in the race. Re the GP Masters series. The real talent - Mansell and Fittipaldi - streaked ahead of the field yesterday. As for the twelve other 'notables' Jan Lammers Hans Stuck Ricardo Patrese Andrea De Cesaris Nice blokes I'm sure but the majority of these 'masters' never won a race.

Looks to me that there's a large lump missing out of Diego's left ear!

Just the thought of an orgasm made me pass out. Oh yeah, and the bedclothes felt heavy.

Stick HRH in a berka, surround her with twenty bodyguards dressed the same and the suicide bombers will be baffled into incompetence.

The prang prone F1 star who appeared on the first DL in 1987 is back behind the wheel. Ironically for a man who's claim to F1 immortality is the highest number of starts without a win he's competing in the new F1 'Masters' series. His appearance in the whole circus speaks volumes about the way others - like Damon Hill - said 'no thanks.' De Crasheris was beaten today by Nigel Mansell and Emerson Fittipaldi but still fought his way up to compete for a podium, finishing fourth in the end. There are more races but his ability to stay on the track today suggests he's mellowed. I DON'T think we should consider him for 2006.

Does anyone know anything about his current health? For such a famous face from the past he seems to have dropped well out of sight. He seems to be taking us on, betting our interest will die of apathy before he dies.

He didn't exactly send the posters wild last year and he cheated death whilst in the top fifty list. Will he live to see the end of 2006? Should we reconsider him? Did he ever do anything memorable on telly?

Clive Dunn has eluded them so much his inclusion might be a sore point.

That piece of vermin answering to the name of Glitter is in the papers today, living with a 14 year old 'wife' in Vietnam with a couple of others of similar vintage also in tow. The combined age of all three of his current female companions is still getting on for twenty years short of Glitter's age.

Harvester, that might have been the case 40 years ago. Safe sport these days. Less dangerous in terms of visits to casualty and/or the funeral director than many others, notably three day eventing, boxing and rugby. Incidentally, it takes one shot to kill all the fish in a barrel, assuming it blows a hole low down, the water drains out and you're willing to wait a few minutes.

Then again, it would be good if we had a scrolling page advertising that as well.

There's a thread somewhere on this forum about Formula 1 deaths that includes several - like the infamous multiple deaths at Le Mans in 1955 - that top Diana's triple fatal.

For sheer side splitting style you've got to give Milli Vanilli credit. They were outed for not singing on their records because - after winning the Best Newcomers at the Grammy Awards - they went to their producers and demanded a higher royalty. The producers, knowing damn well the duo didn't sing on the records and staggered at the arrogance of the whole thing went to the press and blew the whistle. Milli Vanilli then staged a press conference at which they sang live and sounded desperate. Needless to say their comeback as The Real Milli Vanilli stiffed almost as soon as it was out of the traps and now the duo are down to one, the other having topped himself when his life spun off the rails.

That's a bit of a generalisation if you don't mind me saying so. Without going into detail I've done some of the above although - obviously - I don't know which of 'we' were watching during the times I appeared on television discussing my books. Incidentally some of us 'guys' are women. Re wasting my life writing poison the the Internet, it sharpens up the part of me that writes pithy puns. If you care so deeply about JT why don't you do what we suggested the fans of Richard O' Sullivan do and establish some web presence out there that leads surfers away from this site as the top hit?

Funny you should mention that, I had a dream last night where I'd turned into a 103 year old frail American woman and I was visited by a physically fit Cumbrian bloke who'd just started giving away money to good causes.
