Dia de los Muertos

Hey guys, is there a way to block a user so that I don't have to read his posts?

I wonder how Andy Whitfield of Spartacus fame is doing, I looked online and can't find anything since Jan 18th .

One can only hope so! Oh and please ignore Windsor's unnecessary comments. That's what I do!

Surely Jemima Khan is WAY out of Clarkson's league?

Well this has got me so excited I had to return to the Deathlist! Yesterday I bought a bottle of champagne, and it's now in the fridge and ready for when the announcement is made. I read lots of commets online about people wanting to dance on her grave and I suggest we have a DL meet in the cemetery and proceed to have a party on her grave. That is, if there's space. I suspect her grave will be a very happening place, what with all the people dancing, spitting and urinating on it

Please cancel my account. I am out of here.

1) I didn't say the queen said it was a problem. I am saying that the papers are reporting "a breach of protocol" because she was touched. The queen isn't supposed to be touched like "normal" people (?!) 2) How dare you? I am not left wing at all. What an assumption to make! Since when are we getting personal here? 3) Never said Cameron looked Chinese, only of a diferent ethnic origin to Obama. As in "all whites must look the same to Barak Obama". 4) People would still go to Windsor and Bucks house if there was no monarchy. The buildings are there already, and that is what people go to see. I know that is why I did, same as with Schoenbrunn in Vienna and Versailles in Paris. 1. It is a breach of protocol. Albeit an informal and insignificant breach. It has absolutely nothing to do with class on commonality. 2. You certainly sound left wing to me. 3. If you actually listened to what was being said, Obama mentioned a list of people including the Chinese and David Cameron. The Duke of Edinburgh's comment had nothing to do with the President thinking that all non-blacks (whatever) look alike. 4) The fact that Britain still has a Royal Family raises the profile of Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. The fact is that the Royal Family are an attraction. You only have to look at the Royal junk in all the tourist shops. A brief reply to you: I am not a leftie, I am a libertarian... and you certainly sound like a t***er to me, Windsor! On that note, I am using this opportunity to say "goodbye and thanks for all the fish". I am leaving the DL for several reasons: The improper comments from one of the male mods about my body. The crap I got from LFN about not attending the last DL meet. I had strong personal reasons and didn't feel like sharing them, thanks a lot. The fact that people get personal, and make assumptions. I am talking about a system, and what I see as its issues.... and then some wan*** like Windsor decides he knows what kind of person I am? WTF!? I guess I thought I was amongst like minded people. My mistake.

He asked a black guy if he can tell these other (white) politicians apart. It is like me saying that all blacks/asians/whatever look alike to me. See? Regarding the tourism argument, there are no confirmed figures. Again, look at the French example. By the way: I didn't always live in the UK, but visited numerous times before moving here. The monarchy was never a factor that influenced my choice to visit, so there.

You know, I was just telling my husband yesterday that I love that add!

I don't think it's the wheelchair that is making her look frail.

Of course, it's all relative isn't it? Here is another thing that does my head in when I think of this bloody monarchy: "Oh no! That commoner dared to touch Her Holy Magesticness!"

I will go with Farrah, only because of that last picture of hers.

Shocking, and not in a funny way.

Nobody picked him for DDP. Bit of a miss really... Shame on me, I should have thought about that one. He was the president, by the way, not the prime minister. He was the first democtratic president since the military junta.

Looking very frail in this picture.

"Common treatments for hysterical women, and they were invariably women, included opium, the removal of the clitoris and incarceration." I'll take the Opium, please. Not a bad option, when you consider the others!

almost makes me want to be British.

Now this should be fun... I am tempted to watch the funeral, if only to hear Jack read his "Ode to Jade".

I can't see the last image, so I will reply to the Jackal's post of Peaches Geldof:
