I don't agree cwith that. I would say that she should be on next year's list if she has any more major health scares though.

I know this will probably be merged immediately but should Babs be on Dl 2006? She has been in bad health and is knocking on a bit. MOD edit: If you know it'll be merged, put it in the right place!

Explain. Explain. Please explain.

Where was Mr Humphry's when this happened? He certainly avoided the perfume counter that day.

What woman? That was no woman, that was my wife. Geh cocken offen yom, kucker. Gay k'ken in yam Hey Inar, this is fun...why don't you join in! Kuck ind faall Please will someone explain this to me.

THAT is sort of the point I was making. (I notice that overnight I have gone from Firing Squad Commander to Shipman. Is that something that happens when you reach 261 posts?) What a co-incidence, Milwall - so did I! OK point taken - I just find it irritating when people take the knee-jerk(mainly anti-US) view that Western countries killing civilians accidently during a war against combatants are as "guilty" as a terrorist who deliberately targets civilians. Anyway, point made...enough! Fine. We are both Shipman's. We are Shipmen in fact. We disagree a little and seem to have both put words in one another's mouths. i would still contend that innocent civillians were deliberately targeted in Vietnam etc but you seem to have side stepped that. We do both agree that he targetting of civillians is wrong wherever it happens though (Don't we?). We jsut disagree about when it has happened. I hope that this does not effect our future correspondance. (That is by the way the first argument I have ever peacefully settled in my life.)

Let us recap, based on what both of us have actually said rather than the words you are putting in my mouth if possible. I originally said that 9/11 was a tragedy. Also that it was put into the shade by the acts of terrorism carried out by the U.S. (military) over the years. You asked whether America had ever specifically targeted civillians (and by the way can you think of any army that has not deliberately targeted at least a few civillians?) and I cited half a dozen examples of parts of the world where the U.S. have deliberately targeted civillians. If you disagree with anything so far I would recommend that you go back and chaeck what has been posted. I said nothin about moral equivalence. I did not compare anything to anything else or draw any conclusions from the fact that America has been responsible for so may civillian deaths. Neither did I compare GWB to OBL. Others have in this thread and you appear to be confusing me with them.I simply stated , admitedly through metaphor maybe that is where you are gettingt confused,that America (by which I mean its government and military) are responsible for more that the 3'500 dead on 9/11. Neither did I say that anyone had a "right to kill" anyone based on their beleifs. May I ask , when you "quote" me what exactly are you talking about?

I posted THIS WOMAN and a moderator mucked about with it. Ruined a not very good joke but there you are. Still think the thread is a good idea

He's been in and out of bad health for years, every time he has a new album to promote in fact. He will live long enough to see the great "Blues Based 80's Rock Revival" no question about it.

Told you so.

I hate to spoil a good Spart-ish rant but when exactly has the US deliberately set out to kill over 3,000 non-combatants to make a "political" point? I agree that US/UK intervention has indirectly led to plenty of civilian deaths but I think "putting 9/11 in the shade" is wildly over-stating the case. Do you really believe that there is a moral equivalence between Bush and Bin-Laden? Or perhaps between a tube-bomber in London and the officer who shot the Brazilian chap in error? You must have a very strange outlook on life if so... Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Libya, Iraq, Lebbannon, El Salvodaor, and Nicaragua spring to mind.

How about this woman And should the headline have been "Shoots You Sir" or "Mr Humphry's _Could You Come To The Basement Please"? I think the thread is a good idea.

Probably because the activities are similar - hours and days of patience, study and speculation followed by occasional spasms of excitement when another one is "out"

Charlie (unfortunatley).

Well done on registering Iain. Well, I have been away for a few days and Biggs still looks like a non-dead faker.

The Clinton was being interviewed on C-Span a few months ago and said that he was glad that KKG was receiving the academic praise he deserves-"especially since he is in such poor health". my own personal prediction to die next.

A tragedy-yes. A massive failure by the Security Services of the U.S. government-yes. Put into the shade by all the innocent people killed by the U.S. over the years-yes.

I meant flat skinny and poutty

(before anyone asks-yes today is a very slow day at work. however all i post is true) I have a friend who is a member of the Norweigian royal family . He assures me that Harad is in fine health.

Its obcsure but I saw him in Hampstead thois morning looking fine. Also saw his ex-missus in Marylebone last week loooking like a flounder.

Bad call pal. He still with us!

Well, that's your suggestion! Mine is, that we actually do put down plans for the previously mentioned deathlist 2006 naming convention/christmas party - and raise some money ("He does a lot of good work for charity... mate") and indeed help Brinsworth House? I think Dec 17th in the London area. How about at one of the Heathrow airport Hotels? I've done the Ibis in the past. Any one else have a favoured date. Maybe for those who can't get we could post back to the site reports from the convention via internet linked laptops. You never know maybe we could get a famous guest or two! Any takers for attendance? I'm addressing this in the main to the mod's since if we do this type of event we would be wise to understand if it will really become the new way to select next years list rather waste all our time if its still going to be just a couple of people in a darkened room again drawing up the list! A good idea. Unfortunately it will fall foul of the mods who will want the ultimate decision on who gets put on DL 2006.

Register and the ban will be lifted. Good idea.

He isn't gonna die any time soon for the very simple reason that he is faking it in order to gain attention.
