    Margaret Thatcher

    Star Crossed, it's been a pleasure sharing this forum with you. Please... Reconsider.
  2. Granted Bottom is puerile, sick, self-consciously pathetic and - seemingly - allergic to anything like a real plot, but that's kind of the point. I struggle with half an hour, but five or ten minutes is a laugh. You've lost nowt much turning it off well before the end. Incidentally, if you hate Bottom don't even touch their 'Guest House Paradiso' movie. The outbreak of food poisoning in the guest house and the tidal wave of vomit that comes about are worse than anything they did on TV.

    Running Out Of Time?

    That's tarring the whole crew with one colour; I think Alphonsin in particular is a real find, wouldn't want to lose his journalistic insights into those about to drop dead. His presence on the forum in late December could be the making of DL 2007.

    Whom Are You Tarring With The Epithet "twunt"?

    Thanks for sharing that with the group ATJ Should you have been given a present by anyone you met, it'll probably respond to penecilin!

    Not Exactly Famous...

    Aye this is a point worth pursuing, I think you're right with Gough Whitlam but I'd be interested in knowing from anyone on the forum with access to the right information how many famous Australians are still Austrailians. So far as I can make out the following aren't. I haven't seen any of the passports but I'm going on several things, like usual residence, countries in which they own and operate businesses etc. Kylie Minogue - British Rolf Harris - British Rupert Murdoch - American (for definite, he did it for the sake of running his empire from there) Barry Humphries - British Paul Hogan - American Mel Gibson - American Russell Crowe - ???? (American, I think) Michael Hutchence - DEAD!!!!!

    Milton Friedman

    Indeed, this thread is so dead that Iain's most recent post is only three from the end. C'mon Milt man, do summat!

    Sounds ominous, should we have had him listed?

    Tony Blair

    maninblack; I don't think so, Blair's health is too well monitored for that. Brookes on the other hand - ALLEGEDLY - had a diet of junk food, columbian marching powder and - generally - a dessert of slapper's minge, all told, his lifestyle explains the level of good taste he displayed on air. Anyway, TB'S arse'll be out of the door in weeks, even he can live that long.

    Running Out Of Time?

    I take yer point, but as a rule I come on the DL to get a break from the mind numbing pointlessness of colliding my brilliant ideas with the wall of indifference administered by senior management. Man, you've just reminded me that maybe, things are the same the world over! F**k, I need a beer, fast!

    Whom Are You Tarring With The Epithet "twunt"?

    Just a suggestion - like - but if yer interested in outsized pictures of sizzlin' totty, how about starting a thread considering their chances of impending death? Obviously it'd require pictures as people compared notes on bone structure, the knock-on effect of constant dieting on vital organs etc. Stock judging, where you examine the quality of an animal by inspecting muscle tone, pelt, feet, teeth and the rest is fairly popular, so I guess considerin' the likes of Angelina Jolie in the same light isn't too much of a stretch.

    Tony Blair

    To be fair, Lord Sutch also had some lunatic ideas; my own favourite being to turn the European butter mountain into an artificial ski slope.

    Running Out Of Time?

    You're right on it, because yer example above highlights another problem. Fat, peristent vegitative states and the rest also cause debate. It's not an exact science and this thread will doubtless draw in debate to back up this observation. So there's a general consensus about a lot of picks, and some disagreement elsewhere. So - for example - the fat and fearless thread I started a while back shows another grey area. Famous for their huge bulk alone probably rules them out. But a self-inflicted fatso making a living as some television freak.....hmmm, debatably legit. The one thing you can't ignore is that steady drip, drip, drip away of life for us all. So we watch, and wait until the moment when, as yer man Dio observed: In the light of the day You can hear the old ones say Was the sound last night the wind? Can you feel the change begin and they die, and we congratulate ourselves, or summat.

    Running Out Of Time?

    You are young HD, you have much to learn. Famous and terminal rocks round here, why else would Lou Rawles make his final chart topping appearance on the DL 2006? Famous just because they're terminal is a dodgy one, that Kirsty Howard, the young girl David and Victoria Beckham like to be photographed with is - generally speaking - considered off limits. There is a grey area mind, Jane Tomlinson, for example, famous for being terminally ill for sure but she's so famous now you'll find a few, me included, reckoning she's legit. Finally, shooting fish in a barrel is F*****g dangerous, bullets go through barrel sides and into your feet, the danger of richochet injury is very high and the spashes off the water throw your aim all to sh*t. Frankly, the safe thing to do is throw an electric lead into the barrel, flip the switch for a second and - having turned off the power - collect the fish. Go well

    Derby Dead Pool 2006

    Well, she aint' doin' none of that today!

    Running Out Of Time?

    If there's a worldwide bout of: Rain falls Thunder cracks the air Lightning from the sky Everywhere We could still make well into double figures. Otherwise I think Tempus has a point. There's death spotting talent around here, this season's new boy Alphonsin is already impressing the crowds, and a useful thread pinned on the forum. It's only right that as medical science tries harder to keep the buggers breathing, we have to raise our game.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2007

    I think there is such a thing Tempus, it'd be a person that age who'd not been treated for heart problems. DeBakey was so ill earlier this year that his life was in danger. I take yer point about people gannin' on but - short of finding out where they live and, ahem, getting involved - we've got to go on hunches and the rest. I predict with confidence he won't last another 98 years.

    Gerald Ford

    It would be something if he died with his head between Julie Andrews' thighs but, like him carking it on September 9th 2006, I predict it won't happen.

    A Famous Belgian

    I think we kind of resolved that question. First off there are a few - Jacky Ickx for example - who are certainly famous enough in their own right. Second off, there was a thought above that heads of state or other notables, even of the smallest countries, could make the DL so it seems possible that almost any country on earth could - in the right circumstances - field a candidate. I've got a Luxembourger on my WDP, and I can't even spell Luxembourger. Put it this way, if, late in December, we discovered that the head of state of - say - Easter Island or Greenland - had inoperable lung cancer we could give them the cherished number 1 place with which we honoured Lou Rawles.

    Where Have All The Ranters Gone?

    Indeed Handy Makes me think mind, it's often the case that the nice celebs with the uncritical fans draw the ranting fire on here. If their careers were really happening and their fans had the gumption to create lively web sites worth visiting repeatedly, they'd never find us.

    Julie Andrews

    Who'd a thunk it eh? Julie Andrews thread; a tiny bit of sweetness and a sh*t-load of ranting bile.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2007

    I'm havin' DeBaker for sure when I enter the DDP for the first time next year. Then again, he was ailing pretty bad earlier this year so he might stick it to the lot of us by checking out this year.

    Mollie Sugden et al

    You may have a point there Pulphack and given the power of interactive technology we can't be more than five years away from a device that would provide a perfect combination of Clitheroe's voice over a collection of Sabs, Rainbow and Dio backing tracks. I dunno about the rest of the world but I reckon that's the sound West Cumbria has been waiting for. By 'eck, this thread's gone a few light years from Mrs Slocomb's Pussy, eh?

    Comedians & Comedy Writers

    All the above is great but the point I was making was that guest Sid, who's not returned since, was simply posting a lot of stuff that was already established in the posts immediately above his. I mean, I'm all for new members and that but it was the equivalent of someone joining us and posting; 'Hey, this site is about celebrity deaths.'

    Aye that image of the two of them, I reckon: The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel
  25. 4 legged chicken, didn't know where else to post this. Well weird.
