Teddy

Not so much slipped through the net, more no-one considered giving him his own thread You can check out his passing (mention) here.

Could be a tie. I think Strikje may well loose out as their posting is at least understandable, albeit short. Thats the problem with images, as opposed to random letter - at least there is something comprehensible there (well, modern art excepted)

I think the american team did that once. That and posed nude together. I was so hoping you would maintain the usual standard, and post a link to those photos

Errr, perhaps he could continue that generosity by helping us beat last years target....

What the hell is Rugby? My understanding is that rugby is a game played by men with odd shaped balls Sometimes the old ones are just old....

And lets not forget Eva Peron - only 33 when she went.

I was almost tempted to reply 'Ahh, you mean as in 'show you a round king....', but that would not be showing the proper manners or courteousness, so I will refrain

Whatever happened to all the decent drive-by ranters? There was a stage when we had to split threads, in order to have a 'proper' thread and a 'ranting' thread, ie Emyln Ranters and Emlyn Tributes. Same with Fred Dibnah. Now all we are resigned to are semi literate ranters who , it appears, are incapable of anything other than obscenities. I have no idea if this post is directed at one of the members, or even at 'Big Boss' himself. And I have absolutely no idea who 'eva' is. Could someone please help...

Nope, no defence. I'm afraid we'll have to castrate you to show all new people an example. Ahhh, that explains what happened to weatherboy....

If you check the Jimmy Savile thread, you will probably find that we have heard more than enough about him...

Or your taste. Or even your sanity

Of course, Pierre has had a previous mention on this board. Unfortunately, it was purely to note his death

Not forgetting that old Billy Connelly chestnut.. Man walks into a bakers in Glasgow and points in the display: Man: 'Is that a doughnut or a meringue?' Baker : 'Naw, yer absolutely right, it's a doughnut'

Apart from some decompositions.... boom boom

I'm not sure about you, but I only have one arse. Perhaps he meant this type of ass!

I think John Mills/James Callaghan & Pope JPII might have been a bit annoyed at being classed as Nazis. Not to mention Max Schmeling

Just picking up on the first point (and without getting into the esoteric nature of the picking of nominations), we still have some way to go to create a record. According to Mr Stats (last seen heading towards the Middle East, shortly before Arafat died - wonder if there is a connection....), the longest period of 'drought' was 241 days, between 23rd June 96 and 19th Feb 97 EDIT: oops, checking back, it was actually Grim Reaper, (last seen mowing John Mills lawn!)

Me too

Well, there's a suprise. PapaRatzi moving quickly to satisfy the crowds by starting the process to make JPII a saint. This could turn into a race between JPII and Mother Teresa... Pope JPII on the move

I hate to break this to you, but they aren't the same at all. Close, but no Havana. Easy to see how they made the mistake - same letters, just different order. Bit like the devil worshipper who sold his soul to Santa The old ones are sometimes the best - then again......

I heard she was called Lady Bird because lady dog was just too damned cruel ( © R Williams)

Strange - it works for me

This might be the time to mention that it doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Hence the may Search should work. Although the All Forum option is not working correctly, you should be able to search the main and 2005 names fora separately.

Ahh, as in having more than one wife. Do other people's wives count? That may help explain Richard's past - we hadn't realised he was a Mormon

Oh, far from it. Those people are always prime candidates.... George Best Pete Docherty Courtney Love I'm sure there are many more - the search facility may come up with your personal favourites.
