Going Underground

sorry had a few beers this afternoon I meant odds on

The biggest push agiants the Taliban by UN forces in recent history certainly isn't going to provoke a Hakimullah Obit. Quite the opposite surely. If Halkimiullah was alive im sure they would have proved it by now, I'm a gambling man in a lot of ways and would not give anyhting but odds against on him being alive.

Yes, he does come across a bit arrogant i must admit. Tell us more Lard. What's he been up to to upset the locals?

So, is anyone significant from that expedition still alive? Just had a quick look about and the only ones i can see still with us are George Lowe and Mike Westmacott. There are probably others though.

Alfred Gregory, the official photographer of the 1953 Everest expedition will be making one final descent or ascent (depending on how he lived his life i suppose).

Chris Eubank?

While your there DDT please pop a cap in the arses of Qari Hussain and Wali-ur-Rehman. (A Box of Roses and bottle of Blue Nun if you do for Azim Tariq too) oh.. and dont forget your $1.8 million bounty money.

Go on then MIB who is number 2? I think we all know who number 1 is.

Oh yeah so it was.

I like this idea. It's especially good if you have a fear of being buried/fried alive. It reminded me of the Python sketch 'is it a burner, burier or eater?' That particular Python sketch was really nasty for the time. You can actually hear the studio audience disgust and a few people even boo'ing. I found it funny though

Don't forget GB's very own Konrad Bartelski (good old British Name). I bet you could just smell the Swiss and Austrian skiers fear of facing the mighty Konrad during Lake Placid 1980. (he actually finished 12th which i dont suppose is too bad)

Boa Sr, the last known speaker of the ancient language Bo has left us. *note to JK Rowling - No need for the Bo version of 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of the Half-blood Pheonix'.

Alive? It looks like Mr Mehsud is in the same quantum state as Schrödinger's cat. I suppose physicists would like a word with him. regards, Hein I'd like a word with him as well, as he's seriously affecting my DDP chances. I'm damned if I can find an email address or phone number for him, though. hakimullah@taliban.pk bounced back as undeliverable! My excitment keeps mounting when the reports of his death become stronger. I lick my lips at the thought of 13 luscios, ripe, mouth watering DP Points. Then..the Taliban spokesman pops his head up and says Hakimullah is just hiding and he is alive and well playing Nintendo Wii in his cave somewhere. God i hate Azim Tariq!! Give us some good news Azim or shut the F*ck up!

Steingrimur Hermannsson has died. He was twice the former leader of Iceland - No, not the frozen food (sic) store!!

Clive Burr anybody? Iron Maidens ex-drummer stricken with MS. Got him in my DDP but I'm not sure it will go down as one of my better DP picks.

Singapore Real Estate Billionare Ng Teng Fong will not be building anymore hotels. I bet there's some sweaty plams at his will reading.

Hard to know how to call this, but if the Taliban do admit he's dead, then I can count him in... I'm assuming it would be an unnatural cause to boot! I'm certain the Taliban will eventually announce it if he is indeed dead. They will need to let the world know they have a new leader and the Taliban are still a force to be reckoned with etc. There will a big leadership quarrel I suspect between Qari Hussain and Wali-ur-Rahman (if they both survived the lastest Drone stikes). Reading about the two of them they are totally differenct characters. Hussain a ruthless tyrant who trains suicide bombers and Rehman a thinking man with a political brain. Either way they are both going to carry big bounties on their heads.

The speculation is growing further that Hakimullah is indeed dead. I have a feeling the Taliban will confirm his demise in the future (not the near future i fear) when they have their house in order. Not the house the drone missles hit because that is a pile of rubble with Haki underneath it. (fingers crossed).

Back of the Net! That was 'Liquid DP picking'.

Although the original line up was awesome I loved Dio's vocal and Black Sabbath as a whole when RJD was up front. One of the first singles I ever bought was ironically Sabbaths 'Die Young'.

'Bill Oddie called' 'Did he leave a message?' 'No'. 'He never does' Lady Goo Goo may have gone Ga Ga again and collapsed. Unfortunatley it appears to be nothing but de-hydration but you never know!

I bet you're full of joy tonight, Going Underground. Well done. http://www.onlinenews.com.pk/details.php?id=157221 Mods, I don't suppose anyone could do a spot of merging and make a thread for Hakimullah Mehsud and his friends? It might see a bit more action than the Herman Wouk thread. These are always tricky situations to judge. Lots of conflicting accounts and hearsay. I'll wait for official confirmation before awarding the points... I suspected the US were going to go after Qari Hussain big time. He seems like one real nasty piece of work. As TMIB says, where Taliban militants and their demise are concerned, there is plenty of hearsay, denials and frankly Bullsh*t to wade through before anything is written in tablets of stone. Happy with Hussain but if Mehsud gets thrown in to the bargain then great. Rightly or wrongly, I won't feel guilty about celebrating these deaths either.

The Times Of India says that Mehsud was injured in the attack. Possibility A: He has or\will die from his injuries. Possibility B: He won't die from his injuries. Possibility C: He's already dead and his status will remain unconfirmed. It was a very ballsy pick, DDT. I neglected to list him because I wasn't even sure if he was alive or not. Thanks for this Banshee. Interesting developments. I now have a strong feeling the Taliban are delaying the news of Mehsud's death. Time for Wali-ur-Rehman to finally step up and take the reins (thus making him a No.1 Drone target)

May I commend you on your fine choice of a DDP pick! I wonder if the attack took place on the 13th or 14th of the month? I take it you have Mehsud too DDT? By what DP moniker do you go by? Just read that the Pakistani Taliban are denying Mehsud was hit They would do that wouldn't they. Maybe Wali-Ur-Rehman and Qari Hussain were in the compound at the same time giving me a treble hit. Has anyone ever had 3 in one day. I dream on.

Another US Drone attack in Northern Pakistan. Target was reportedly Hakimullah Mehsud - Wonder if they (and me) got a hit. I doubt it. US Drone Attack
