    Hello

     

    Possibly a bit early in proceedings for my annual post, but I've just been reminiscing about Roddy's finest film moment when he starred in a terrific post-nuclear trash film "Hell come to Frogtown" in which (I think) he had to rescue unsullied vestal virgins and return them intact in order to save the future of mankind.

     

    I cannot believe there was never a sequel. Maybe now he'll get one made.

    Hello and a happy thingummy time to you all

     

    I'd just like to confirm that Morph and Chas are indeed dead - I was at their funeral a few weeks ago (much delayed as the autopsy took forever). Anyway it was an emotional affair and one that will live long in the memory.

     

    Still waiting for plans for a retrospective on BBC4

    While it's difficult to argue with Grim Reaper's cherished memories of the Lady Di domino effect, I personally remember fondly Roy Castle's passing. Driving up north somewhere with a packed car of idiots all shouting with excitement as the news broke.

     

    And I got the point for being first to phone in the news. It was all before this new-fangled technology which takes all the fun out of reading Ceefax first thing in the morning.

     

    Bah humbug

    Dear Lady Die

     

    Sadly we can't rely on the winter months, history has shown that we chalk up very few deaths after September closes.

     

    Most of our remaining selections have enough cash to be somewhere hot and sunny and are not scratching around for social security handouts

     

    So Michael Foot it is then

    Golly gosh. I pop out for a loaf and a pint and look what happens. Grimbo, old bean, we need to have a chat about planning for 2006 - how are we going to include all of these weighty suggestions? Or do we ignore them as usual?

     

    Perhaps you could pop round the family crypt next weekend for a chinwag. Ponce a lift off the boy Carter.

    At our end of season awards dinner there is going to be absolutely no suspense whatsoever when it comes to announcing the winner of the "Forum Thread which has the most inane drivel posted to it by random passers by" award

     

    (Not to be confused with "Forum Thread which has the most inane drivel posted to it by DL Members" award

     

    Mr Reaper, in the name of Desmond please close this thread forever!

    Have we heard back from Norman's agent recently? He sent us an awfully shirty email a few years ago saying that his client was fighting fit (and available for Panto). We asked him to let us know if there was any deterioration in NW's condition.

    I've been in mourning and unable to bring myself to add my irrelevance to this thread. I felt a deep sense of loss with the passing of Caron, as she was responsible for one of the most moving moments I have ever experienced

     

    It was in the late eighties, West Ham at home to Aston Villa, and Caron was on hand to open the new Family Enclosure. As she walked across the pitch both sets of fans were, for the only time I have witnessed, united in their singing and it brought a tear to my eye as "Get your tits out for the lads" rang out from every side of the ground.

     

    Seminal.

    and we do discuss Edmund Hilary every year

     

    At the end of day, when all's said and done, we've set out stall out and basically we're a UK based website. Take it or leave it.

     

    Will Sir Joh get a page to himself on Ceefax - can't see it.
