    Claude Levi-Strauss

    Or he might just be staying home to watch TV. Mr. Lévi-Strauss don't like TV. He is a eminent intellectual. Besides, the Lévi-Strauss's articles in french press haven't published for long time. I bet for £200K he'd haul his old arse into the celebrity Big Brother house.

    Work Or Home?

    We managed to get broadband last month, 1 whole meg, holy crappola. We might get a gas supply soon. I work from home so I suppose it's all of the above. I sort of hoped that the arrival of broadband here (still only 512K) might signal the start of technological revolution, but nope, still no sign of gas or sewers. Surely the sheer pleasure of being the proud owner of septic tank is far better than being connected to common old mains sewerage. Who could want mains gas when one can have a delightful oil tank outside ones dwelling or a shed full of calor gas bottles. These surely are the joys of rural life. Actually we do have a sceptic tank, and we use the gas (47Kg) bottles, but no oil tank though Wasn't that the holding cell used by the Spanish Inquisition?

    Ideas and possibilities for 2007

    Only if Football Fan shares his 2007 list with the rest of us. Real Madron, my secret possibilities are famous enough, don't you worry. Ultimately by 1 Jan 2007, they no longer become secret & can be used for future possibilities. I'd happily reveal my secret candidates if everyone else did - for I know I am not the only one who has a joker up their sleeve. Unless that changes, I see no reason to reveal my hand Bugger, I haven't got any secret candidates, should I have? I just take careful note of others suggestions and evaluate their potential to die sometime soonish. But you're right about one name leading to others, it's amazing how the obvious can be missed.

    Isn't it best just to be polite and try to treat other people the way you yourself would want to be treated, regardless of race, religion or disability. We all have our irrational prejudices, I just don't see any value in airing them. There's more than enough unpleasantness already in the world without needlessly adding to it.

    Near misses 2006

    Sandy West died yesterday, that's another potential DDP selection gone. I wonder if she will get a UK obit. She has... Sandy West I must admit to being quite surprised that she got a BBC obit, makes the fact that she didn't make it to '07 all the more annoying. Michael Mayne's death is yet another DDP candidate gone early, this really is most vexing.

    The Canadian Paul Deadpool

    Mayne is in my theme team so I'll get points, but as he's in your main team mpfc he needs to get a BBC, CNN or Canadian obit for you to collect the points.

    What an extremely odd link to post, mpfc! I'm not sure I get whatever (extremely) subtle social comment you're making... I think he posted the same link as in this post. I have no idea what it should be. regards, Hein I believe this is the link mpfc meant to post. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_spor...ker/6067408.stm

    I quite agree Iraq is an unholy mess, I dread to think what the long term consequences for Iraq are. But in case anyone is in any doubt my intentions as regards Typhoid Harry are deadly serious, I'm waiting for a PM from you TH naming a time and place. (If it can be within 100 miles of London , then so much the better) I am willing to die for my beliefs regarding freedom of speech are you as willing to die for your beliefs? Still waiting TH for your reply, or are you a coward? Death holds no fears for me.

    TH is like an absentee landlord who has suddenly developed an interest in his tenements. Only us rent payers don't F*****g like the dickhead. That is an amazing reply! It encapsulates my feelings exactly, even though I have never met the guy. Had I done so, I am of the opinion that, should I meet the twat in the flesh, I'd kick his F*****g head in. Now, now BHB, give the fellow the chance to engage one on the field of honour. I look forward to kicking his ass on said field.

    I understand ye sir, but I am well pissed by this stage. Always liked crows, they never take any sh*t from anyone. No matter thy be pissed, young Tempus... Don't feel down... The crows tell I that you could come harvest with Six and I.... Young, who you be calling young? The years are mounting upon me, but while my strength remains I challenge Typhoid Harry to a duel, come on TH I'm ready when you be.

    Thank you for the poster Hein. If this happens, either I commentate or i'm the referee. Tempus Fugit would have to be held down and searched, for weapons and small sharp objects. Typhoid Harry on the other hand might play fair, but would he with all the sudden threats to ban and suspend? Stay Tuned. TH is a big girls blouse, come on you Californian fagot name the place, I'm waiting.

    Like this: regards, Hein Nice work MH, but I look nothing like my avatar, I really am a free range nutter, who is prepared to sacrifice all for honour.

    Gentlemen! I have the perfect forum for you to undertake such a duel (date and place forthcoming...). Perhaps our beloved admin can add souvenir fight programmes to the DL merch. Please believe me when I say I am not joking, I am prepared to meet Typhoid Harry with sword or pistol or failing these fisticuffs. So come on TH name the place and date, I can manage almost anywhere within ther UK. Who said you were joking? I just wanna watch. You are welcome to watch ie+, I'll have the advantage as pain is no stranger to me. Excellent! Tell me your colours of choice, and I'll have some pom poms made up specially. Any colour you like as long as it's black. I really quite enjoy pain so TH is in for trouble. Come on TH I'm ready when you are you big Californian woofter.
