    Edward Heath

    I've been on to the Reuters website, and have searched the web and have found no sign of this. In light of the fact that this is from a guest and contains many spelling+factual errors, I think this is a hoax. (Will I be proved wrong though?)

    Charlton Heston

    But does that not extend to us too?

    Richard Whiteley

    He had a "private funeral" (does that mean no-one turned up?) and there will be a memorial service in September Can't wait to see his tomb stone - its bound to be Countdown related in some way. 'Here rests RWHHCDIEEYLRTAI'. (Could this become a cheap spin off of the anagram thread?) Not sure but apparently the nurses were alerted when the cardio monitor went beepbeep- beepbeep- beepbeep......- didid- didid- diddle- di- dum, booowwww. Erm, there is a Richard Whiteley thread you know, any chance of getting these messages moved/merged?

    Near Misses for 2005

    Isn't "rumbustious" a lovely word? Yeah, it's much nicer than calling him a crook, who started a campaign of "dirty tricks" against his main rival.

    Near Misses for 2005

    Yes, but the joke was It's literally a near miss like the thread's sub heading. Do you see?

    World War I Veteran(s)

    Paris? No from my post, I presume it's the Somme.

    Gretchen Franklin

    She should be immortal then. i stand corrected Yeah, it was probably you saying that, that caused her demise.

    But you've still only got 6 so far, so your losing on both counts. [Puts on flame resistant suit.] c'mon Guesty, you've got to a least get your grammar right (before donning flame resistant suit) if you're going to take swipes at statements which include the word "yore", however friendly, at the selection process. 6/50 at this stage of the year isn't that bad. We shoot for a rough target of 10 correct nominations a year, with anything above considered better than par. 2004 was unusually well researched. That is not to say, though, that missing the likes of Prince Ranier, Arafat and Marlon Brando put sthe selection committe in the best light, so hopefully we will avoid missing similar low-hanging and well-known fruit in future years. More proof I guess that if you post in haste, you repent in leisure. As a very slight defence, I will point out that I post from a public library, and thus have a time limit. I produced a lot of posts yesterday, some of actual interest; (IE RKS facing a leadership challenge & a WWI vet dying.) Unfortunately the quality suffered on the later posts.

    Long past the sell-by date

    Anyone seen this bloke around recently? I was kind of looking forward to him dropping in from time to time, but he seems to have wandered off. What a shame, but hardly surprising. No, and his threat to "remove" deathlist seems to have come to nothing after 4 months.

    2. I know who my father was. Assuming he meant to say 'bastard', it has nothing to do with the fact that you know your father. A bastard is a child born to unmarried parents. Fair enough, though my parents were married to each other. Then you're a character in a soap opera.

    Long Shot: Robert Kilroy Silk

    I can't find anything on the web, but I'm sure I've read on teletext that RKS is facing a leadership challenge of Veritas. It's still unexplained why anyone else would want to lead this party.

    Gretchen Franklin

    I believe I've suggested before that you should block guests on the threads of the recently deceased. Perhaps now would be a chance to give it a try? Also I suspect she’s rather different to Emlyn/Richard Whiteley, in that she’s lived a full term, hasn’t been on TV in ages, and will probably have few fanatical fans.

    Near Misses for 2005

    I do recall mentioning Ed McBain, as a possible some time ago. Any chance of more authors on future lists?

    1. I have a job. 2. I know who my father was. 3. I think I'm generally pretty normal. Thanks for your short/unimaginaitive rant, please feel free to post again in future.

    Dalai Lama

    I think this has been covered before -yes they are. You have to Die before you can be reincarnated. Just treat "Reincarnations" as seperate people. Doesn't this cover it?

    Very Blue Peter

    Maybe that's what killed it in the first place? I hope they asked for their money back!

    A new potential definition for oxymoron I see.

    Why Are We Here?

    Yes but that was because of an internet rumour that if a certain number of people put down a religion, it becomes officially recognised. Unfortunatly like a lot of stuff on the net it was never true Writing on the census that you "go to work on egg" at least has the excuse of being amusing.
  21. Dr Strangelove

    Damn, won't anyone die?

    I'll make a wild stab in the dark, are you from the USA perchance?

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2006

    He's only 42 you know. I don't have the statistics to hand, but I believe being pelted with eggs is seldom fatal. After all Ted Heath is still surviving.

    Mr Stats:

    May I suggest prair? regards, Hein Or prayer?

    Canadian schoolgirl killer Karla Homolka

    But would Karla though? Or is she Reformed?

    Al Gore

    You haven't misspelled Guiness have you? BB's carefully-worded remark is a bit of a two-edged sword really. As in a subterranean level perhaps? I'd settle for one to just be placed on you. I think we all grasp your views now, maybe you could lay off for a while. Your love of George W seems oddly reminiscent of "Simon I"'s love of the royal family, you aren't related by any chance?
