    The death of Clive has brought me back after a (too) long absence, to pay my respects.

     

    The word legend is bandied about too easily these days, yet the number of tributes here surely mark the passing of one - a man who headed the inaugral deathlist, and for 25 years nurtured the belief that immortality was a distinct possibility.

     

    When planning Winston Churchills funeral, the army codenamed it Operation Hope Not. I would like to think that most Deartlisters had the same codename for Clive's passing.

     

    There has been mention of retiring the 50 slot in tribute - a much more fitting tribute would be to retire the slot Clive occupied 25 years ago, in the first deathlist - number 1.

    Interesting to see that:

     

    1) He was born in Gary, Indiana, just like Michael Jackson

     

    2) He died exactly 5 years after his co-star in "On The Waterfront", Marlon Brando...

     

    According to the LA Times article, he was born in Chicago, and only moved to Gary, Indiana, when 5.

     

    Interestingly, I notice that his website is under construction, with an update due 2009. Wont be much to update now!

    In Madagascar some people are kept on slabs after death and visited by the local villagers, either that or they are dug up on their birthdays for bone rolling ceremonies...

    With Easter nearly upon us, perhaps they could just keep her head for Egg Rolling...

    John Wayne supposedly had 40 pounds of impacted sh*t in his body when he died.

    You know, in my times of stress, the thought that its all going down the pan, and I think it is, its so comforting to pop on here and read the kind of post that puts everything into perspective.

    Thanks Lardy

    I Love you.

    Regards

    Wow, if I knew what an impact (ho ho) my shitty ramblings would have, I would have posted it sooner.

     

    Sorry to be a pooper...

    The forces of good are just making sure that you vote the right way. :)

     

    Democracy is overrated - you only need to take a look at the current state of Britain to see that. People are keen to protect their rights, but seem less willing to stick by their responsibilities. I watched the schools question time last night and was sickened by it. At one point someone got a cheer for suggesting that Iran was entitled to nuclear weapons as Iran is a democracy. I was bloody livid. Is anybody else getting a bit bored of the whole anti-war thing whereby anything anti-war is greeted by enthusiastic responses from crowds? Bloody kids.

     

    Anyway...yes...they are just making sure you vote the right way...

     

    Brought back memories of this little sketch...

    Last night I was watching his career biography and on top of that another special on the 'Black Holes' phenomena which could be a extensive breakthrough in Science once they learn more about it. Anyway some young physicist is Hawking's tool and chalk board specialist who communicates with Stephen by his winks and blinks. ...

     

    So, a severe case of conjunctivitis could re-write physics as we know it.... :blink:

    Tail-gaters, you know the ones who sit so close they're almost in your back seat?

    I let them go for a few minutes and then step hard on the brakes and then take off fast while they jump on their brakes so hard they almost fly through the windscreen - nits.

    To do this safely, keep your foot on the accelerator and break lightly with the other so that it doesn't actually slow your car down - helps avoid an arctic in your rear seat.

     

    An ex-colleague of mine, when faced with tail-gaters, would flip on his side lights. The red lights at the rear would appear, to most drivers, as brake lights (especially if they weren't paying close attention). Has the same effect, without losing any speed. Of course, this only works when it is light enough not to need lights during the day, which in Scotland rules out around 9 months of the year :(

    Didn't Mark Twain die on his birthday?

     

    Dunno, I remember one of our most esteemed mods (Teddy) added a link to a thread which showed people that died on their birthday, but I cant find it, or remember which one it was.

     

    What a good memory HCW.

     

    The link was in this thread, many moons ago, but seems the same link that Lard Bazaar has posted.

    People who aren't doctors (i.e. physicians) who insist on being called "Doctor" because they've got some degree. We used to have a guy in the office who, if some poor sod rang up and referred to him as "Mister" would immediately jump down their throat and say "it's DOCTOR actually!"

     

    Then you get people listing themselevs as "Dr. whatever" on Sad Gits Reunited (OK, I admit I'm a member myself!). Were you a f***kin doctor at primary school then, you arsey tw*t?!

     

    And yes I know they'll tell you "the original meaning of "doctor" is from the Latin meaning "teacher" and therefore more appropriate to someone with a degree..." but I don't bleedin care!

     

    Reminds me of the clip from the West Wing (see it

    ), where Bartlett is having a go at a 'doctor'. If you are in any way a religious zealot (i.e. Eileen :) ), it would be best not to clink on the link. :P

    CNN have just reported that Buchwald has died at his home at the age of 81

     

    Link

    Another link from the BBC.

     

    Known for his wry humour, he published his final book, Too Soon to Say Goodbye, in November of last year.

     

    The book includes his plan for getting a big newspaper obituary: Don't die on the same day as a Nobel Prize winner.

    Harold Pinter should be fine for another day then....

    The judge told the singer that she was even more optimistic than she had been at his previous review in October and, as a result, his case need not be reviewed as frequently.

     

    [snip]

     

    The judge ordered Doherty to return to court for another review on April 18.

     

    So, has review in October, comes back 3 months later, Judge says well done, don't need reviews so frequently, please come back in 3 months ;)

     

    My understanding of 'not..as frequently' initially led me to think there may be a longer gap until next review. Just goes to show how little I understand the law....

    To All members of this site,

     

    blah blah absolutely disgusted blah blah hope you all die painfully blah blah...

     

    As you are probably aware Paul SADLEY died on the 9th of October 2006 from his rear Cancer. I’m sure it won’t but maybe there is a slight, just a slight chance you might sit back and think what upset you may cause to anyone who has read this rubbish.

     

    blah blah I'm so annoyed I can't even spell pedaphile blah blah Have a nice day...

     

    Dear Guest,

     

    I am sorry to hear about the death of Paul Sadley through some form of bowel cancer - it must have come as a terrible shock, occuring the same day as the death of Paul Hunter. We are not all uncaring, so please accept my condolences.

     

    Yours sincerely

    Teddy
