Revenge for the Knickers over the Kickers for losing the 'six-pointer' in the league just four days previously...

happybirthdayharrymcinallysblueandwhitearmy!

Lansana's gone off...

Hmmm. Colonic cancer does have a pretty decent strike rate so she's a good each-way bet... The thing that puzzles me is that she's not considered worthy of Deathlist status. I remember it being a big to-do when she usurped Marcos. She was as much a part of the eighties in my eyes as J.R., Cabbage patch dolls and Frankie Goes to Hollywood in a South-Asian geopolitical sort of way...

Happy Birthday Twelvetrees.... Could only afford ten trees....

The enevitable 'fall'. Ominous sign that....

I've gone for Oscar Niemeyer because he's the sort of name that dies after Christmas/Before New Year that keeps the broadsheets occupied during this normal quiet reflective period...

He was under deep cover. And that just sticks in your throat doesn't it? Shall we bother doing a 14th poll?

Academic Sir Bernard Crick has died aged 79...

Thought long and hard about including him for DDP 2008, but went for Hewitt instead...

I can't find any links in English to verify the claim and I don't know how famous Alfonso Antoniozzi is anyway. Can our resident opera expert(s?) shed any light on the situation. I need to know. Which one? Opera forum?

I take it all back, I feel like sh*t again....

Must be, you've bought all the trendy albums....

I'd have gone for Private Frazer meself...

His Doctor will feel that he's trapped in an episode of Columbo... "Excuse me, sir. I've got one more question..."

I think it might have something to do with getting out of this flu, but I feel so serene at present, I feel like hugging the World... No illegal drugs have contributed to the above statement...

not! iwaspersuadedbyharrysheartfeltpleadingandimasuckerforpleaders... soitsasyouwere...

Looks like there will be a trial...

Here are the tallies for each year: 1987: 1/31 1988: ? 1989: 3/32 1990: 3/42 1991: 0/40 1992: 5/37 1993: 5/56 1994: 9/50 1995: 9/50 1996: 7/50 1997: 9/10 (this is where there's a reference to 10/50 'record') 1998: 8/50 1999: 10/50 (refers to 'equalling' the record) 2000: 10/50 2001: 10/50 2002: 10/50 2003: 14/50 2004: 12/50 2005: 12/50 2006: 13/50 2007: 10/50 2008: 12/50 (so far...) So where is the mystery '10th' hit? It's either 1994 or 1995...or maybe there wasn't and so there needs to be an adjustment in the history.

No it wasn't............... This might have been. And this Isn't she going to be The Next Doctor's companion in exactly the same get up? I get nostalgic for times I never even lived in!

As president of the reallylonguncapitalisedsinglewordname Society, I urge you to reconsider this regrettable decision and implore the admins to refuse the request. Thangyouverymuch. verywellharrymcinallysblueandwhitearmyitakeitallbackandwillnotseekthechangethank you...

Actually could I be rechristened The Man In Black as opposed to them all together. Thanks...

Yes, but owing to the drugs, he probably feels quite mellow...
