    To be fair, Lord Sutch also had some lunatic ideas; my own favourite being to turn the European butter mountain into an artificial ski slope.

    I liked the suggestion to put the Houses of Parliament on wheels, so that each city in the country could have a turn at hosting it.

    Behave yourself, dear... :P

     

    So Entropy, are the normal tributes pouring in over at your forum?

    Was it members of your forum who organised a small remembrance outside Kensington Palace this morning?

    Did your forum stage a vigil which invited people to sit round their computers in candle light?

     

    I was watching a documentary last night on E4 called 'Di's Guys'.

    A typical Diana thing came up.

    When she was dating that Pakistani Heart doctor, she was caught leaving the hospital in the early morning. She then claimed to the press that she was visiting the sick and the dying in the early hours of the morning.

    She was, infact, snuggling up with her doctor friend.

     

    Makes you wonder what she was doing with all those prostitutes on the streets of London...

    Actually, no it doesn't. It makes me wonder why anybody would want to watch a documentary called 'Di's Guys'. To paraphrase Anubis: just let it go, she's not worth it.

    you motherfuckers out there

    have no respect to the godfather of soul

     

    there is no other artist in the world who has achieved

    the things that he did

    he is 73 years old now and still doing the road

    1. 17 nr1 hits

    2. 198 chart entries

    3. about 170 albums

     

    can your f***kers tell which other artist has achieved that

    i know mr brown is not perfect, but he is also a human being who makes mistakes

    So that's 1 number 1 for every ten albums he made - not a very good strike rate. About 1% if you reckon that each album has ten songs on it. Must be a lot of dross there.

     

    Have you any information about whether he's about to die - maybe we could include him on the 2007 list?

    What the hell is this disgusting bullshit? These are real people, one of whom happens to be an elderly relative of mine, and about whom I daresay you know absolutely nothing. Go to to your GP, show them this, and proceed directly to your local adult mental health service, you twisted weirdo.

    Feel free to enlighten us.

    Vladimir Tretchikoff

     

    The geezer who painted this:

     

    (picture snipped - it's on this thread too many times already)

     

    has died. It is believed to be the best-selling commercial print of all time. Yuk!

     

     

    I don't normally question where people put these but Tretchikoff is certainly famous enough to be in the near misses thread surely.

    I've never heard of him, or seen that picture before. In fact, whilst waiting for the picture to load, I read the caption 'best selling commercial print' and was expecting that picture of the girl itching her bottom whilst on a tennis court. Shame.

     

    I must be living a more sheltered life than I had previously thought!

    One link regarding Ms Capovilla's death described her as (having been) the "world's oldest living person", as if to distinguish her from the world's oldest dead person. Depending on your beliefs, that would be that Adam chappie, I presume. Does anyone have a link reporting his death?

    Once someone confirms his existence, I imagine reports of his death won't be far behind.

    I'm at work at the moment so when I next get a spare 5 minutes, I'll have a dig around to see if I can find anything

    What, like WMD's behind the filing cabinet? Be a good chap and let the Tony and George show know if you come up with anything, won't you?

    Perhaps it should be:

     

    All of us are smarter than one of us.

     

    Then again, the idea of a suggestion box is just naff.

     

    As you've posted in the 'English language' thread, perhaps I should point out here that on following the link to your new site, I notice you've mis-spelled the word 'independant'.

    <_<

    I guess I'll have to look around for a new one. Preferably very rich and very old :)

     

    Snap, Lady Die.

     

    Very rich, very old... and possibly quite ill too, just to be sure.

     

    I'm very old, and feeling a little off colour, will two out of three be OK?

    I suspect that two out of three would be OK, just not those two.

    Mmm.

     

    This perturbs me, as I've just gotten round to starting the Da Vinci Code. Maybe I have a hitherto unnoticed 'talent/gift' for causing the deaths of people from organisations I read about?

     

    I'm off down Waterstones to buy a book about Big Brother contestants...

    Wouldn't a Doug Ellis biography be a better choice?

    1981-1982.

     

    And have a look at about 100 years before that. Christ, we were like Man U then. Only with longer shorts and hobnail boots.

    Hmmm. I would have thought mightiness would require sweeping all before them, rather than winning something significant one season in the 20th century and one season in the 19th century. The Real Madrid team, for example, who won the first 5 European Cups, may be considered by some to have been mighty.

    sorry, those privileged discussions are state secrets, for certain people's eyes only, a matter of national security, etc. Plus most of said discussions can barely be remembered by the participants the next day.

     

    What we should do is keep "Ideas and Possibilites for 2007" as an active thread throughout next year. That way people can go back and reference it then say "aha - just as I (or someone else) thought!". Because there's nothing more satisfying than being able to tell someone "I told you so", and back it up with actual evidence. It becomes tiresome whenever we're criticised for missing a death no one predicted.

    But isn't it still there for anyone who can be bothered to find it? Unpinned, and probably locked (No, I can't be bothered!) but still there to be referenced.

     

    So there's nothing preventing people saying 'I told you so' apart from laziness, or ignorance. Hey ho.

    Please register, Laura.

     

    Your swearcabulary may be limited, but your passion is unquestionable. You don't even need to know anything about death or deadpools to join, you'll learn it all in time; you can get a scholarship to this university purely on the basis of rant skills.

    Hear hear! Anyone who dislikes iain that much must have something going for them. Excellent multiple use of the c-word there too.
