His future is of course 'in God's hands', but Al-Megrahi is 'better than ever', according to Saif Gadaffi, the lunatic colonel's son. Better than ever?! That's not looking good from a DL-perspective, OR Saif Gadaffi is a big fat liar. He's certainly less colourful than his brothers Hannibal, who is most notable for being or Saadi, the chap that used to be a professional 'football player' - which means that he bought a smashing total of ten minutes of playtime during his four-year-carreer with Udinese, Perugia and Sampdoria.

[edit] Hmm, something went wrong here... Has something to do with me posting filthy pics, I suppose.[/edit]

Right wing American senator, father of four, drunk driver and filthy hypocrite Roy Ashburn comes out the closet.

The United States of America? I watched two Michael Moore movies last weekend ('Capitalism, a love story' and 'Sicko'), so I can't help thinking you might be right. The latest municipal election results in the Netherlands - predicting a huge win for extreme right wing islam bashing nitwit Geert Wilders in the upcoming parliamentary elections - almost lead me to believe that I should put my own country on the list as well....

or 3)? This sounds like an opportunity to me. Surely there is someone who has pissed you off recently? Don't be ridiculous. Nobody ever pisses me off, for I am a serene pool of tranquility in amongst a whirling ocean of bollocks. On the other hand, last summer a local driving instructor cut me up on some traffic lights.......and I know his address....... Wasn't the address printed all over the car...? A very interesting idea, launched in the Netherlands several years ago - never heard of it again ever since - was to attach a neon sign that could show texts at the back of the car. If you should have anything to say to someone that cut you up, was tailgating, speeding or just being a plain ar**hole, this gadget would enable you to express your feelings. A more civilized way of giving your fellow travellers the finger, I suppose.

Tadaaa! I was really hoping for a unique pick here, but I guess it was never to be...

Chris Eubank? All my money was on al-Megrahi (2nd) or Biggs (3rd). I really don't know who turned out no. 1. Were there thát many DDP'ers who picked Rubinstein? The top 10 (according to MIB) thus far: 1. ???????????????????????? 2. Abdelbaset al-Megrahi 3. Ronnie Biggs 4. Fidel Castro 5. Sir Norman Wisdom 6. Kirk Douglas 7. Ariel Sharon 8. Billy Graham 9. Elizabeth Taylor 10. Zsa Zsa Gabor Edit: I cheated and checked on the DDP... but it's up to TMIB to open the winners envelope. At a guess I'd say Thatcher is probably the number one pick. I can't think of any other of the usual suspects who has not yet been mentioned, except maybe Michael Foot. My money is still on the milk snatcher though. Well, TMIB, who was the number 1?

All-British hero Lorna Gobey is now 100 years of age, had been smoking 20 cigarettes a day since 1940 and her favourite drink is a shot of whiskey with a Guinness chaser. She's all you could be looking for in a woman!

Yes, although you yourself have only put in one... TMIB: I always get a little bit distracted by your newest signature. I tend to misread the word 'cocksure' to something that ends in 'cker'. (Had to look op 'cocksure', actually, and found out that it had nothing to do with foulmouthing or the male genitalia, which is something of a relief.)

I know, I know, it's horrible... But some old mullets never die.

The point is not that he was a nazi, the point is that he was a war criminal. Of course, it's the victors of the war that label you as such, that's the way it goes. Shooting civilian hostages is considered a crime in any war, though, and the 'befehl ist befehl'-argument will only cover part of a subordinate's responsibility. Officers that organised and coordinated the killings will be held responsible, no matter what their orders were. (See for example wiki on the Nuremberg Principle IV. Your final point is unclear to me. The taliban might use the same techniques as Italian WW II-partisans. And? Does that give the (cough) 'liberation' forces in Afghanistan a valid excuse to execute civilians by the hundreds as an act of retaliation?

Fignon's treatment is not doing what he hoped for... There is - as we say in the Netherlands - not a word of french in that: Fignon is dying. Only twenty percent of pancreatic cancer patients is alive one year after the diagnosis, so that doesn't look good for him.

I voted Fignon. His cancer-treatment doesn't seem to work very well (posted the link in the appropriate thread).

Amen to that. You realise that his guilt is very much debated? Don't be too bloodthirsty, I very much hope for a new DL-success, but I'm no longer sure he 'deserves' anything horrid like this.

The incredible mistake by Sven Kramer at the 10.000 metres speedskating (for non-Dutch as exciting as watching paint dry, I know...) makes one wonder if the next Winter Olympic death might be his trainer Gerard Kemkers, himself a bronze medallist back in 1988. The BBC got the story messed up: Kramer's trainer sent him to the wrong lane, it's not about his skate crossing the line, he took the inner lane where he was supposed to take the outer. That hurts, especially as he was heading for the gold medal comfortably...

Not. Good. But will she die soon? regards, Hein The ABC has kindly put up some footage now, so judge for yourself: http://www.abc.net.au/news/video/2010/02/23/2827688.htm I know nothing about music, but Dutch newssite nu.nl quotes a disappointed fan, who complained that Whitney Houston didn't even seem capable of entertaining a 'dead rat'. Ouch...
