    Interesting Ways To Die...

    Spontaneous Combustion Call me a cynic (actually don't because that wouldn't be funny at all) but it seems more than a coincidence that nearly all cases of 'Spontaneous' combustion occur beside a fire?

    Interesting Ways To Die...

    Canny DDP participants may find out who the superstars of speed eating competitions are and maybe have a punt... I've checked out the photos of the 4 main protagonists, Takeru Kobayashi, Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, Sonya Thomas (a.k.a. "The Black Widow"), and Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti, and surprisingly they all look quite young, trim and healthy. From Thomas's Wikipedia page: "To stay in shape, Thomas has one big meal a day, with lots of green vegetables and fresh fruit, and always avoids junk food. She exercises by walking on an inclined treadmill for two hours, five times per week. She also regularly visits all-you-can-eat buffets at restaurants. The night before a contest, she fasts all night in order to put an edge on her appetite." What shape is she trying to stay in? My guess would be 'Pear' shape

    Or even how they can put up a 10 year fight about being asked to 'Travel' on the grounds that they are 'Travellers' and therefore have rights which seem to include not travelling?

    Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi

    Page 5, post 68... So that heart rate is going faster now, and looks like his blood pressure is much higher too. Any doctors in the house? Normal BP is 120/80 so 110/60 is low not high. Whatever the dials say he doesn't look too good - he looks kind of like I thought he should have looked 2 years ago when they released him to go back to Libya to die! Less than 4 months till he becomes a dead cert for next years list unless he gets his death cert before then.

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    >>> Get up uh, get on up uh, like a dancing maching. Like a voodoo machine... *Zsa zsa is alive and well and dancing to her hidden treasure, once the music stops however. Quote from article 'and despite concerns surrounding her health was pictured drinking champagne on her husband’s wedding anniversary' Is the Prince married to more than one person? Perhaps as their wedding anniversary is on 14th August (see billboard!) it is meant to say 'birthday'? Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...l#ixzz1TJPrGvrk

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    Looks like she is already lying in her coffin? Marketing idea - pre packed coffins. So instead of being in your death bed you go and lie in your coffin and then you can celebrate with a glass of champagne before you go! Think of the saving in NHS hospital bed space.

    Margaret Thatcher

    Just posted the following on BBC website about the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations next year and us all getting an extra Bank Holiday. Post has been removed by the moderators on the grounds it was 'off topic' which it doesn't seem to be - possibly a bit too close to the truth? as no one is talking about how ill she is in the media either?? Perhaps there is some sort of media blackout? 'I understand that if the very ill Margaret Thatcher were to die there would be a state funeral (or similar) - would this also result in a further day off work?'

    Okay - Imogen Thomas is a money grabbing slag (nice pair of tits though ;-)) Apparently according to Imogen 'Ryan struggles to last the full 90 minutes now but when he opens his legs he still shows his class'.

    Just one thing. DEATH. Actually on my Zsa Zsa Bingo Card I've still got Cancer, Alzheimers and Heart Attack to mark off.

    I know what you mean but I'm not sure I would describe getting my leg amputated as a bit of a health scare?

    Dia - thanks, I'll try and work my way through all the tips!? Re Diana - think it was that Charles used to get visited by transvestites every night........... (oh no - apparently that was Camilla)

    Margaret Thatcher

    That's all very well and good but are you going to answer our question in the Jerry Lewis thread, Dia? http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?...st&p=159760 Thanks to Windsor pissing you off, we have been waiting two years for your answer! LOL, I had forgotten about that. The answer is now in the Jerry Lewis thread, and it's not one of the names that had been mentioned so might come as a surprise Thanks for answering! I was just a lurker on this site back then but, after I read that post of yours, I wondered about every action film type who came on TV, if they were "the one." Never considered that person you just named, though. He must have loved that role in Highlander where him and Sean Connery were in skirts (kilts) - came on here for a laugh/info on dead/dying people - never thought I'd find out things like this! And some of the comments and sense of humours are amazing - very clever. Also won a quiz at weekend as one of questions was what Anubis is patron saint of - guessed Death thanks to Anubis the Jackal - actually Embalmers but they gave it to me and won by one point - bingo! Only thing is I'm struggling to use all the clever stuff - thought I knew a bit about IT before I tried using this site - can't work out how to upload photos or do links etc etc etc

    Betty Driver Memorial Soapstar Superstar Thread

    Now this bit I know for a FACT to be bollocks, because the ONLY thing Sally Fucking Webster has ever said about food in Coronation Shite is 'Ey oop Rersie, d'ya want beans fer yer teeeeeeaaaa'. I fucking HATE Coronation Bollocks - I really want to get home from a hard day's work, switch on the telly and listen to whinging fucking Northerners talking about whippets. And Ken Barlow - his wife is hardly cold and he's already shagging some bint half his age. It should have been taken off air years ago. Load of crap. It is shite at the moment no question A good funeral might perk it up though??

    Contra Mundum

    Sorry folks! I think I may have accidentaly closed it. Should be open again and feel free to make your posts. The moment has passed now. You'll have to wait until I get all worked up again. At the risk of digging up a (SttG's?) dead dog, it could always be merged with the Laura Sayers/Edith Bowman beaut. Thanks for link to Laura/Edith - first time I've come across so many cunts in one lunch hour!

    Danny Baker

    I must be a posh northerner then? Actually I don't think OOP is how West Cumbrians say UP - maybe farming community - are you a farmer? Note that being from Maryport you're not disputing that it's grim! Do you have day trips to Cleator Moor and Sellafield?? I think its Maryport where they've spent about £20 million making the harbour area look nice (think that is the photo you are using?) - bit of a shame that the rest of Maryport looks like Danny Baker's arse/throat! There are a few places in West Cumbria could have their own Death List - Cleator Moor (survives thanks to Brannans Thermometers and not much else), Prospect (should be renamed No Prospects), Aspatria (survives thanks to Sealy Beds and not much else) - I'm sure you could add to this list.

    Danny Baker

    Thanks for redirecting this post to the proper place. See that the guesses back in November were Throat or Arse - with Danny Baker that seems rather appropriate, perhaps the excess of talking sh1t has caused it?

    Margaret Thatcher

    Or bury her down a mine. A small plot on the Falklands? They must love her out there and no risk of lots of people visiting!!
