  1. Terry Pratchett is the only person on the 2014 Deathlist that I have actually met. I went to a couple of signing sessions he did in the late eighties, early nineties he always tried to interact with his fans and was very patient, came across as a nice guy. Most of the Discworld books my wife has are signed but now you can only get signed copies through a particular website.

     

    This is one hit for the list I don't want.


  2. Had to draw a graph with Schumi's weight loss figures. The hospital has just 44 days to stabilise his condition before he drops below 40kgs. If it's just getting worse at this alarming rate he will crash through 40kg within 19 days.

     

    And, just for Lardy, I'll add that you have the better of me... 34.4...

     

    This game makes me feel better I get 23.4 which (according to the website I used) means I am a healthy weight.

     

    I am now going to eat a biscuit


  3. Neverending Tory

     

    Haha, you little genius.

     

    Er, or you big genius if you're a tall guy, I don't know.

     

    Just shy of 6ft.

     

    Not going to comment on weight.

     

    I presume it is relative you might be a basketball player or Bernie Ecclestone.


  4. Will anyone be trying to get tickets for the Kate Bush gigs?

     

    I was thinking about it but a colleague agreed we should only do it if we can have a time machine and go back and see the 1979 tour.

     

    Can she still sing Wuthering Heights?

     

    I am enjoying the news coverage but a tiny part of me is fearful that if I went I would be disappointed. I probably wouldn't be able to get tickets anyway.


  5. So...uhm...yeah...

    So, er..... what is that? Just normal recipes by holocaust survivors? Or is it a collection of ingeniously resourceful recipes that will come in really useful if you are ever put into concentration camp(s)? Like how to make a lovely chilli con carne out of just dead rats?

     

    Your guess is as good as mine...although I don't imagine there'd be many ways one could cook watered-down turnip soup and ersatz bread.

     

    Clearly I have got the wrong end of the stick. I thought that was the main ingredient.

     

    Buy now while stocks last.


  6. I think the large peak in the 35-50 age group is for those who have grown sufficiently cynical to have come to terms with the concept of Death but not yet had to buy a bumper pack of In Sympathy cards for all their friends.

     

    However I think this site attracts a special kind of person of all ages.


  7. Looks like the "Birth list" thread will be dormant for a long while.

    There bound to have at least one more at some point in the next ten years, just to sure up their branch as the family firms guaranteed line.

     

    I think this type of comment is just to stop the papers over analysing every photo of Kate to determine whether she might possibly be pregnant. The other tactic is to pretend Harry is thinking of getting married.


  8. An interesting little piece of trivia - 1982 is now the oldest Eurovision year with no dead singers.

     

    The sad thing is that one part of my brain can still hum an approximation of the refrain to One Step Further the UK entry in that year by Bardo. The winner A Little Peace by Nicole became the 500th UK No. 1 single.
