OK Star Crossed and Phantom, sustain an interesting conversation on Tim Johnson for us if you can. I nearly fell asleep just writing this.
There ain't really much news on Johnson at the moment apart from he's making a steady recovery. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ But he's not completely off the danger list yet.
we could do with a "sleep" emoticon
At the risk of ushering in a New Age of apparent tolerance, I must agree with, and expand on Phantom's post just a little by once-again reiterating my usual mantra... if there's nothing worth discussing, don't discuss anything.
There are other, more appropriate threads for the chit-chat, especially the chit-chat concerning subjects of other threads. FFS, there's a whole forum for common-room antics now, so let's keep this thread on the Tim Johnson, shall we?

OK - it isn't "our" list. It's "their" list - Grim Reaper and Cowboy Ronnie and whomever the hell else is on the DLCC. "We" don't have any particular perogative to determine who should be on the list. The fact that we are allowed to participate peripherally is a privelege, not an invitation to membership.GR and CR et al will put their list together as they see fit as the rest of us will also do our own lists. We will then all get together here and commiserate all year.
It will still be their list.
I concur wholeheartedly and in full.
If only more Texans were capable of rational, logical thought, the world could be an immeasurably nicer place to live. CarolAnn for President in 2008?
p.s. Back on-topic... Borgnine?
No chance. Not unless he gets hit by a meteorite or something. When the global "nucular" holocaust cometh, the human race will be distilled to Ernest Borgnine, Evel Knievel and Chuck Norris, sat in a tin shack on a windswept plateau eating cockroaches; Clive Dunn chilling in the corner, nursing a bottle of Portuguese plonk, advising them not to panic. Apart from that, the DL 2007 is looking pretty good. For deadpool perfection, however, see my DDP/HDP entries. -
Does the chat still work? If not, am I banned? I can't get it to work.

It's Christmas day, I'm drunk and ... humbug!

It could be worse SC, you could have a partner who'd rather watch Little Britain than give you a good seeing to.
Yes, that would be bad. Time to freshen up the batteries in your rabbit, H. Or call up one of your fancy-men and head down to his cosy cottage for a spot of yuletide fireside how's-your-father. My sympathies are with you; sounds like Mr. H might have a problem with his "Torchwood"
Quite. Not to mention sh*t taste in comedy
Could it have something to do with your avatar? Hardly demure and aluring.
Bet she's handy with a rolling pin, though. If you're into that kind of thing.

It's Christmas day, I'm drunk and bored. You lot are probably somewhere having a good time, whilst I'm here "in the kitchen doing the washing-up". Six'll be getting her dad to mend the new Bratz doll she's already pulled the head off. mpfc'll be sinking a pint of the usual down the Slag 'n' Whippet, chipping into everyone's conversations, like. I just tried to get into the chat here, but it wouldn't let me. Bah! Cunch of bunts. Still, that's what I get for being a curmudgeonly old grumpy guss. And Xenon II is what you get for letting any old rucking fiff-faff fore on your whorums. Blah blah blah humbug!
Season's Greetings to you, one and all!

If it wasn't for the fatherland there wouldn't even be an Australia.I wasn't aware that the Germans had built Australia. I thought it was just left there when Pangaea broke up. Next you'll be telling us that Albert Speer designed the Sydney Opera House.
What exactly does this have to do with Margaret Thatcher? Well, yes, it is annoying, but it's still off-topic. Another day, another page of off-topic, talentless codswallop on the DL.

Perhaps the title of this thread should now be changed, as the Moderaters no longer exist and the discussion has moved over to the role and selection of the Moderators.Look at me trying to stay on topic!
Erm...
I thought it was interesting that IYG was a moderator that got banned, then was reinstated with a new account straight away as a moderator again, posted from about 3 different logins (and guest names) with each one claiming to be the real Spartacus IYG. And, none of them claimed they would be back for any length of time, so how was that decision made?
I don't really want an answer, I was just trying to stay on topic.
2007, vote TLC for Moderator!
You didn't really want an answer, but an answer you shall have...
We should close this thread, which was about the Moderaters, and open a fresh one about the Moderators, if neccessary.
It has long irked me that some of you think I tried to strip the Moderators of their powers (and I know that some of you conniving little sh*ts members tried to make it seem that way, didn't you?) with this thread. That was clearly not the case.
Close this thread, and open another one if you all want to have a bitch about the real Moderators, with whom I have no beef.
I recommend that the split happen here, on page 5, where millwall32 resurrected the wrong end of the stick about the intentions of this thread, possibly opening discussions about the proper Mods.

Chris Rea "Driving Home For Christmas"
If any one "song" has been responsible for more people thinking "F*ck it, I've had enough of living" and pointing their car through the central reservation into oncoming traffic, I can't imagine what it would be.
Tuneless, talentless sh1t from start to finish.
I vote for Chris Rea's entire back-catalogue, and his future-catalogue too, to be hurled into Room 101. I mean... imagine... just *imagine*, people... whilst Radio 2's listeners are "enjoying" this excuse for music (i.e. trying in vain to keep one eye on the road ahead whilst frantically scrabbling at the knobs and buttons on their car stereos, trying to hear anything, ANYTHING but THIS SH1T), this pr1ck's kids are probably "enjoying" their ritualised christmas buggery at whatever public school he's put them through with the royalites from the endless seasonal airplay of this worthless, depressing dirge.
ZERO TOLERANCE for Rea's rubbish career which, I'm sorry to say it, is the musical equivalent of post-whoring.
ZERO TOLERANCE for ANYTHING else with even a vague hint of fvcking sleighbells (unless they were attached to the door of Room 101, so we could hear a little "chink chink" every time someone's pet hate is banished forever, which would be a rather nice touch, I think).

I'm bored!!! Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored!So you thought you'd bore the rest of us by slopping out 21+ posts today, did you? Get a job.

Apologies to all non-UK residents, but there's a documentary on UK telly tonight at 22:00 (channel 4) called 638 Ways To Kill Castro, about the CIA's many 3-Stooges-like attempts to whack everyone's favourite nail-hard communist cuban dictator. Exploding cigars, poison, snakes in his pyjamas, an undercooked egg, a sudden loud bang, an overly-hilarious joke etc. etc.
I won't be watching, though, because my favourite british actress, Gina McKee, is once-again involved in a dreary, slit-your-wrists, waste-of-money BBC docu-drama about some improbable big wave catastrophe or other, through which I will have to trawl just to catch the 15 awesome seconds of her which will, no doubt, be the full extent of her gorgeous, horse-faced geordie contribution to the ill-advised proceedings.
Lest we forget, Castro will almost certainly die in 2007, so let's not forget to put him on next year's DL.

Bravo!
A brilliant, almost Paul McKenna-like in some ways, performance by maryportfuncity, pulling BORLEYRECTORY back off-topic with a single click of his post-counter.
Could someone ban him from this thread, please? Some threads deserve a bit of decorum and respect. I think this is one of them.

The Revolution has started.Looks like it's a bloody revolution, too.
Firefighters have found at least six charred bodies in the rubble after a pro-democracy riot laid waste to much of Tonga's central business district.I wonder if they had a Woolworths in Nuku'alofa? The thought of all that Pick 'n' Mix going up in smoke made Mrs SC weep with dismay.

Cancer-riddled Patricia Balsom, who claimed poor treatment at the hands of the National Health Service, has died.
Sh*t happens.she was ... told she could only have one pillow and at one point was taken home in the back of a delivery van without a carer because no ambulance was available. -
Any recent news on his deteriorating health? I'm in a dead pool here in the States and our draft is next Monday. Moore is one of my keepers, and I'd like to know if he's a goner soon. Thanks!Clearly, Mr. Toole, given that the last 3 pages of this thread have been almost entirely given over to idle speculation from the Usual Suspects on topics spanning UFOs, stealth aircraft, garden fairies and god helmets, whatever they are, there has been no recent news of Sir Patrick's health, deteriorating or otherwise.
My advice would be to keep him on your list; if he is desperately hanging on for anything, it's for the 50th anniversary of his television show The Sky At Night which occurs next year, in April, I believe.
I strongly suspect that Chris Lintott will be lurking around Sir Patrick's back garden this weekend, looking out for the Leonids. Will you be watching?

you claim that your posts are above the quality of everyone elses'Please supply a link to this specific claim, dipshit. Best of luck.

Anyone have anything to post about Richard O'Sullivan?Neither you nor I, millwall32, nor the majority of posters herein, but that didn't stop us posting here, did it?

Happy Three-Oh, H, from me, Mrs SC, the kittens and tdonkleys! Hope you're having fun wherever you are!

Jesus, Star-crossed. I wish I could take anything as seriously as you take everything.Jesus? Jesus? Don't give me f**king Jesus! What did he have to contend with? Fishes, loaves, water, wine, crucifixion? Whatever... he never tried reducing the amount of whoring (often mis-labelled "banter") on DeathList, did he? Did he? Eh? What you saying now, Jesus-fish? Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus Chriiiiist!

That might be because you're one of the people who has the most face to lose when people see your post-count. The post-count should be kept visible for precisely that reason; so we can see just how many posts people are slopping out.... I'm the one who's called consistently for the whole practice of printing the number of posts to be abolished.
I don't think loyalty is the issue here, mpfc. Nobody should think that a high post-count is somehow directly proportional to loyalty. I'm sure there are plenty of members who have been "loyal" to the DL for a lot longer than us, whose post-counts are only in double figures. Their posts, however few and far between, have probably been of high quality and nobody's questioning their "loyalty". This loyalty issue is just a smokescreen you've belched out to cover the central issue; that your post-count is excessively high, leading to an overall degradation in the quality. You're a funny, intelligent guy but you spread yourself too thin, consistently. That alone is the issue.I haven't a clue what useful purpose it serves other than to give some rough indication of loyalty hereabouts. ... -
I'd often wondered how this consummate professional kept his stats up.You're posting 4 times every three days, roughly. Meaning at that rate you'll get there in 168 days, give or take. Feb 15th 2007, or summat.Presumably, mpfc's ability to consistently crack out double-figures every day is thanks largely to posting frenzies like this tonight:-
(coffee break, or summat)
The last one is fair enough; mpfc's rekindled a shining moment in cinema which was both well-conceived and acted but the rest of these, I would contend, are filler. Pure and simple.

Superb spot, Paddy! Flying plane, open door; I always thought that would be bad, but since I had the chance to jump out of a plane, I know it would be bad. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgggghhh! Thud!Col. Turner in Where Eagles Dare. In a plane over the Alps, exposed as a spy, your gun has no firing pin.The only way out for a gentleman........the door!
How about the priest, played by Patrick Troughton, in The Omen (1976), who tries to warn Ambassador Thorne that his son Damien is from hell, then gets impaled by a lightning rod which falls from the spire of his church. An emphatic exit (pic too big to post) stage left for Father O'Whatever.
"Aaaaaaaarrrrgggghhh!" Thud!

The above from TV Cream, I'd agree with this. He's out of touch and out of time with the other reporters who seem to have been watching the game whilst he seems to spend every Saturday - if not the rest of his time - in some altered state of consciousness.
Thank god for that. Given the ineptitudes and banality of the brain dead "journalists" who are on the radio today, Stuart Hall is a legend and long may he live
I concur wholeheartedly, Ernie. Aa a regular listener to Radio 5 Live on saturdays during game-time, I can state categorically that his half-time/full-time match reports are the only interesting thing broadcast, and the only sign that anyone on Radio 5 Live can be arsed to say anything vaguely original or amusing. So what if his flowery similies are worked out beforehand? That doesn't detract in any way from his ability to put life and meaning into his descriptions of what can, at times, be a phenomenally dull game.
I'd much rather have Stuart Hall telling me that "the striker whirled like a turbo-charged dervish in the box to confuse and confound his opponents, before making contact with the ball like the firing-pin of a Howitzer and sending it thundering into the net which rippled, Tsunami-like, from end to end. 1-0 to the visitors!" than f*cking Mark Bright saying "he's under pressure from the defenders but he's scored with his left foot. 1-0."
As this post marks my quintillionth consecutive "no news, just a sly comment" post, I'll shut up for a while now. I hope Stuart Hall, however, keeps rambling on brilliantly, nonsensically, for years to come.

It's not enough that they're due to be hanged, Banshees is determined to kick 'em whilst they're down by insulting their manhood.
I too have taken cynical advantage of the current "Islam vs ROTW" aggro in my DDP/HDP teams this year, proferring both:-
Ahmed Sheik Sharif (leader of Somalia's Council Of Islamic Courts) and
Mohammed Deif (suspected master bomb-maker, anit-zionist hero and military leader of Hamas)
for untimely, if glorious, returns to Allah following their successful martyrdom.
