Tempus Fugit

Surely that's a freezer?

Gordo won't be attractive to Middle England until he reduces his stealth taxes. Never has so much money been wasted by so few.

Are you a dying Boer? or maybe just a crushing Bore.

There are only 6 news reports (thus far) on Google News Search (my main reason for NFB...) carrying a report of his death, and, as you have said before, a BBC article is not really a real judgement of somebody's fame. No doubt famous in his field, but worldwide, generally.. nah. I'm quite comfortable with my decision, here, though I appreciate that in the past I have put less notables in the Near Misses, but that was back in the Iain days when you almost felt obliged to post any semi-notable death so that Iain wouldn't "confirm" it, 8 days later. Jessie Gilbert got 60, yet I venture nobody had heard of her until she took a tumble. David Gemmell is a successful author with a considerable body of work behind him. Be honest, if Stanley Kunitz wasn't on the list how many would have heard of him?

He's pretty well known, I'd have thought Near Misses thread for him. I haven't read any of his books yet I'd still heard of him. He's now got a prominent BBC obit, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5224868.stm

An unfortunate choice of words considering.

Bob Simpson, former BBC correspondent, he reported from Baghdad during the first Gulf War.

Michael Sellers, Peter Sellers only son died at the weekend. He was 52 and he died of exactly the same heart problem as his father, almost exactly 26 years to the day after he died as well. No link, but I read it in todays paper.

I assume the multi-millionaire you mean is this chap.

The evidence points toward a naughty Banshees Scream, Interfering with the sacred Wiki, you fiend Banshees.

Hezbollah can only exist because they have popular support from the majority in Southern Lebanon. They are seen as the defenders of the state, having more men and arms than the official Lebanese army.

As he's one of my RDP selections, then I do hope he pops off soonish, the poor chap has been all but dead for months now. Time for his family to do the decent thing and pull the plug.

No need to be jealous Windsor, you can be the apprentice idiot, iain's understudy.

This thread really should be deleted. In a manner of speaking it almost has been....however Thumper it is now to gain greater status than ever as your past whoring deeds are revisited upon you......sad it is. I recall when you simply adored the attention and piously pompously posting more than anyone could ever have thought possible. I suppose once you had moved to the tippity top of the posting deck and secured a solid lead that took away your need to post so much. Well, Trixie Flounder do as you must or as you wish but one thing is more than most clearly certain you cannot escape from what we already know......whatever that might be. Really.....putting on airs of superiority Tempus........how slovenly of you. Ah but Bruno, it's so easy to be superior when you have set the benchmark so low.

This thread really should be deleted.

I'm not saying you have to do anything, TF. It's just a suggestion or rough outline that some people might like to follow. Geez, there's no pleasing some people If I misconstued your use of the word disobey, albeit in relation to iain, then I apologise. All this list business just seems overly bureaucratic, and closer to work than leisure.

It all sounds far too regimented and strict, I'll use my own judgement on whom to post in the near misses thread, rather than cosult a list. Well done on compiling it though, not sure it will really be worth all the effort in the end.

That looks like a man stroking a mop.

For those unfortunate souls who haven't got The Mail On Sunday, the link below is to a scanned picture, http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/7791/imgai2.jpg From left to right; Dicky O', Penny Forsyth, Monty Morris, Lila Prentice, Reg Brigden and Fluff Freeman in the wheelchair.

The real issues being that iain allegedly posted shite on the publicly funded BBC messageboards, my what a heinous crime. The real issue is the amount of licence payers money that goes into that fat tosser, Chris Moyles bank account. Any organisation that pays him that vast sum, deserves all the sh*t heaped upon it.

I am not concerned about your warning to iain, just your attempt to suspend him. Warning ie+ was hardly an abuse of the warning system, your attempt to suspend iain though, would have been.

Yes he's definitely dead here's the Independent obit, http://news.independent.co.uk/people/obitu...icle1178593.ece

Stop filling Bergman's thread with these stupid witterings, and people accuse iain of posting shite

Don't forget to pack your AK-47, although it could prove a bugger to get through customs.

Nice impersonation of iain Hacky, but you really need to post it in the Near Misses thread as well, just to be thorough.
