Windsor

They have also predicted that it shall be one of the coldest winters (UK) on record so thats a bonus.

This:

If I'm not mistaken in a recent poll by Americans Lincoln, FDR, and Washington were voted to be the best US presideants of all time. But then again, the poll was by the same population that re-elected Bush.....

Why not go for an all time record and post 20 to 30 fiberless posts per day? Maybe a new catergory could be created for you. (and stay off of Thompson Street today) By any change, by fibreless do you mean something like this:

DL stands for Deathlist - the name of the site. If you are asking for deathlists meaning, its probably safe to assume that it has no meaning.

We may have closet Jews in our membership. Personally, I suspect RomanCatholicBoy. The best way to find out would be to change ones screen name to 'priest'. If that scares him away, he probably is Catholic.

I can't say i ever bothered to count the jewish members? Mainly because i don't think there are any. If I remember correctly we did have one Jewish deathlist member. If I'm not mistaken he was a dominant deathlist figure who was promoted to some kind of post - Moderator I believe. The 1st of January is also in my head - this may well be his join date. Things went wrong and he is no longer a part of the deathlist team. The name has escaped my mind, any ideas who this Jewish member may be?

I posted a very handy web address in this thread somewhere near the beginning. The site keeps a tally of how many WW1 veterans are still living. Maybe of some use. If not, try google.

The Royal family, 29th July 1981 - need I say any more....

I feel as though I've let you all down. Nothing new there then. In all honesty I don't really take intrest in Lichfields hang on royal status.

Welcome back VB.

Wow that's so true. I'm not a bully or a freak though. Infact one of the most recent descriptions of me (by a former friend) made me sound like a Sith Lord or something.

In my personal opinion, the Union became acceptable in 1707 because there was a chance that the Regal Union of 1603 whould be broken on the death of Queen Anne. The English Parliament had passed the Act of Settlement whereby the protestant rulers of the Electorate of Hanover would succeed to the English throne. However the Scottish Parliament had not addressed the issue. The Scots chose to pass the Security Act whereby they reserved the right to choose which ever successor for Anne that they pleased. So in retalliation of this the English passed the Alien Act which basically said that accept the Hanoverians or face an even worse economic State. It was then desided that an encorporating union was the best solution with one monarch and one Parliament. And ofcourse there was the greedy Scots eager to get a piece of England's Empire as the Navigation Act was finally lifted as well as the payed off Scots MPs...... My life is truely boring....

Maybe you should request a name change. Perhaps its time I succeeded what seems to be the late Earl Gloomy and become Earl Windsor?

Hasn't happened yet... Indeed, monarchists and royalists alike have the Queen's speech to look forward to. I'm not amused with Channel 4's alternative Christmas message.

Indeed, the joke has run dry. Almost like Elspeth really. regards Lord Windsor (I quite like that actually - Lord Windsor has quite a ring to it....)

Congratulations on number 1000 and becoming a Post-Twunt. I missed the glorious moment as I was writing an essay on why a Parliamentary Union was adopted in 1707. Woopie. Congratulations and welcome to the Deathlist Association of Post-Twunts.

I'm a monarchist so I'm technically right wing.

Must be the first Pete Doherty ranter I've agreed with.

Why buy magazines - we obviously have access to the internet.

Is Mystic Meg not due for retirement soon?

Maybe he had a 'hand-over-mouth' fetish.

Bloody rogue!

Sorry Windsor, he won't be. And I'd never heard of Brooke Astor or Sister Lucia either, but got out-voted by the rest of the DL committee. I really don't see that happening with Sihanouk. But by all means, have him on your DDP team, and please be sure to mock and gloat when he does go. Oh poo. Looks like I shall have to start (or at least continue) the campaign for Muhammed Zahir Shah, the former King of Afghanistan.

I caught a bit of Countdown today and I may have witnessed Des' first gaffee on the show. He asked a woman if she had a long wait to get on to the show. She said three years. So Des says back to her, "I had to wait 23 years". May have been a bit insensitive.
