My real complaint is that too many posts (not just the one you refer too) bear little resemblance to how English should be written. Some of the posts by contributors for whom English is not their first language use better English than some of those for whom it is. It's either representative of the decline in educational standards in this country or its lazy bastards who couldn't give a shit not even attempting to write coherently. Yes, I'm in snotty Guardian reader mode too.

Mourn. Mourn for those contributors who used to use decent English. Mourn for those contributors who, even if they didn't always succeed, tried.

Ok, so if you don't like the BBC wasting time and money making a huge deal out of a campy contest, it's because you're a seething racist or whatever. What's the crude and transparent emotional blackmail/smear you use to put down someone who complains about BBC wasting literally tens of millions buying the rights to a terrible, faded, horrible little racing series which only became available because not even ITV considered it good enough any more, while their educative/factual output languishes in a sea of repeats, and the few new commissions there are descend further and further into small-scale esoterica and/poor, muddled narration/pacing? An annoying-tinny-engined-robot-cars-go-round-and-round-a-painfully-dull-and-angular-track-that-looks-like-a-twisted-coat-hanger-from-above-while-an-annoying-Scot-who-probably-couldn't-even-get-hired-as-a-presenter-on-QVC-witters-on-about-some-unfathomable-"DRS"-nonsense-or-something-which-absolutely-no-one-who's-ever-even-got-to-1st-base-gives-a-shit-about-ophobe? What?

Werner Lang, the 'Godfather' of the Trabant.

Was he on this one?

Actress Diane Clare, aged 74. She starred in Ice Cold in Alex and The reluctant Débutante.

Aren't we all aware that he is an old man about to die? Don't we all watch/listen to the news? Isn't it therefore unnecessary to quote and link to every utterance from every family member/public figure? (Rhetorical questions - just getting fed up of seeing lots of posts which say nothing new).

What's the likely line-up? Chris Squire - only person in every Yes line up Steve Howe Alan White Geoff Downes and someone or other from a tribute band who isn't Jon Anderson Anderson - incidentally - is reportedly going deaf Saw Yes in 1980 at Birmingham Odeon; same line-up except Trevor Horn on vocals. This was just after Anderson & Wakeman had left. We weren't quite sure if it'd be any good without them but Horn managed to carry off the vocals admirably, and a thoroughly enjoyable evening was had.

What's the likely line-up?

Or maybe its because he wasn't Mandy Smith's teacher.

Please fuck off That's a bit strong old chap. He said "please", whats yer problem?

Deathlist has a Red Flag

Admin/Mods/Someone/Anyone - Please fix the capitalisation on this thread title before my head explodes (or change to 'Our Ensemble Dramas/hobnob box set shows') Thanks.

Checking my diary, it would appear that I'm unavailable until the last weekend in September, by which time the flouncing season will be over . I could possibly make the weekend of 17-18 august (as its the weekend nearest my birthday).

If you bothered to look just one post above yours, you'll notice that the same link was posted a good 18 hours before. Sigh. Will we ever be rid of this irritating idiot and his inane compositions? Perhaps if people took no notice of him and didn't respond to every post?

Is the gag so old that its likely to pop its clogs anytime soon? possible;e for next year? What's the likelihood of a qualifying obit for any pools?

Wonder what they'll call themselves when they get busted to division 3? (Or the juniors) Done-fermline

World record holder marathon walker Tom Benson, aged 80. He held at least 6 endurance records during the 70s & 80s, one of which will never (officially) be beaten,as Guinness ruled it too dangerous - walking 234 miles without even a toilet break. They don't make 'em like that any more.

Paint.

Harry Lewis in the news?
