TLC

I may have joined here in December but I only started posting at the end of February, and mostly in the last two months. Hmmm, last couple of months? Therefore, I volunteer myself as the Official DeathList Scapegoat. I'd be grateful if anyone could explain what is expected of me in this capacity; ideally I'd like to 'give something back' to the DL community because, [point & wink]hey, this site's all about you... together we can be stronger..... the sum of the parts.... no 'I' in team.... wind beneath my wings....[/point & wink] Apologies, I appear not to be so good with the after effects of 'drinking on a school night' as I used to be.

Hi Bennett Cerf, Not sure if it's the right place to say hello or not; generally once you post a few times people will say hello to you as and when. Like I just did. TLC

I'm not going to doubt the horror of being there at the time, it's probably beyond my comprehension unless in the future I'm ever unfortunate enough to witness something of comparable destruction. But, isn't the line of thought that 'things that have personal connections should not be discussed' heading down the line of agreeing with ranters who may personally know a DL candidate being outraged at us discussing their potential demise? Or have I misunderstood what is particularly annoying you about the last few posts relating to the video? It's only a thought, I'm not trying to start an argument. Again, if I'd been there too I'd probably find it much harder to remain objective, if I even wanted to be objective.

Curses! I forgot about Godot's mum; that gives you/Godot/Godot's mum 996 more posts before you need to think about joining the twunt brigade. So I reckon persona no.3 will need to appear before the summer is up. No wonder the rest of the Scooby gang always get me out of the way before proper investigations begin. ps [doff hat]Mornin' Mrs G![/doff hat]

As far as I recall the glider never actually got used as an escape method from Colditz, although a few years ago they tested one out based on the original designs and found out that it would have worked mechanically-wise. Although I suspect that the Germans might well have seen it gliding out of the camp mid-attempt. The theory is a grand one, but I think the reality may be less successful. 999 not out and still on strike, I reckon. I suggest dressing up as a moderator/admin and strolling casually out of the front gates, if you must try to escape. Just remember not to accidentally exchange pleasantries in English until you cross the border.

Happy Birthday One Shot Paddy! After having a look at your profile, and your list of interests: - Shooting fishing motorcycles girls drink explosives skydiving I reckon if you can do any 3 of 7 from that list today, it should be a pretty f*cking good day for you! If you manage all seven, I expect to read about your escapades in tomorrow's newspapers.

In a manner of speaking it's a place in which we've all existed at some time.It's certainly a place in which I've existed for some time; I think I was supposed to move out at the end of my teens but I seem to be stuck there, in a manner of speaking.

Here's a fairly big, size 5, red fonted Happy Birthday Notapotato! and also Happy Birthday Iain! I hope at least one person says, "you don't look a year older... ha! ha! ha!!!" to you today, at least that is if you wish to have a good excuse (other than the drink) to commit blind ugly violence on this most special day of days! Some people prefer cake apparently, but what do they know? ps Iain, I did say 'see you tomorrow' yesterday, although I must admit the reason you're still here is not the one I expected.

What, you'd rather that we had to go and interact with real people again? Face to face? My god, I'll have to get my mum to order me another pair of tracksuit bottoms from Primark, and possibly some deodorant....

See you tomorrow then?

Might be why he moved to the glorious Bexleyheath (yes, the Bexleyheath) Shopping Centre during the mid-late 90's, happily singing away on what amounted to a Karaoke machine, and selling tapes of his greatest hits to anyone who strayed too close. A bit of a fall from grace from the Arndale Centre, especially considering Bexleyheath is very close to Lakeside and Bluewater; presumably they had tougher entrance requirements. For a bit of balance though, his song Whispering Grass (duet with Windsor Davies) was a million-selling no.1 in about 1975, so that makes him a more successful singer than most. Not that successful means talented of course, e.g. Ace of Base, B*Witched, Britney Spears etc.

Phew! Although looking at everone else's results so far (for the people who I know the sex of at any rate) I should probably donate my sex-change fund to the DL. Or I might just have the op anyway, the breast implants at least.

Search me, but me let me know. If he is, I'd like to order one. What if the newly ordered JakeBox arrives flat-packed with an instruction leaflet? Or is that a sort of box-based blasphemy I just committed there?

I'd be president, destroy Kenya as an asteroid, and on the left and right brain thing I scored 13-5 in favour of the left brain, which means I think I could officially class myself as a lady. But I'm left handed, and I'm sure I read somewhere that means some brain functions are controlled by the opposite side of the brain than is normal, so what does that mean? I think that's just an attempt to make myself feel more manly, I always score towards the feminine side on these kind of tests... I feel at the very least I should mention I never rearrange the furniture unless I replace some or move house. That has got to be the weakest ever defence of manliness, ever.

Sacred enough to not reveal them for a fortnight anyway! And if you get his permission, it will mean you've had new contact with him, unless he left you instructions before he went to release info 1 month later. Zoinks!

As a mother, I say a huge THANK YOU for your kind words. I'm a little confused though. I thought Mother's Day was in March. Depends what country you come from Six, I believe. I of course made the mistake of believing my mum when she said it was all rubbish and she didn't want to celebrate it; not the message she conveyed when I called her on mother's day to say hello and I got shouted/cried/shouted at for about an hour for not sending a card. Maybe next year I'll get a list of all of the different mother's days across the world and send her a card for each. It's not really going to happen though, knowing me.

Me, There may be something special about you, but not this I'm afraid. Did you really think yours would be the first ever post to be censored or deleted? Well I suppose you did, or you wouldn't have said it. Your post starts by asking if your post being deleted is a first, and by the end of the post you suggest the board is 'wide shut' (very clever) to newbies. You can't have it both ways can you? Try reading any of the threads that provoke the most controversy (this is a good one, for instance) and you'll find plenty of posts from people who don't like this site or what it does, but amazingly the posts are still here. Sorry, that's just my opinion... but I tried to at least base mine on some easily validated and accessible facts. I'm not trying to claim all of my opinions are universal truths, but it bothers me that people do try to justify the most astonishing points of view by hiding behind the right to opinion as if that makes their argument more valid somehow. Kind regards, TLC

Apparently he was planning a comeback; at least he should get an extra 15 months of ferocious, sweaty 'ring-work' done whilst inside, which could get rid of a chin or two he seems to have sprouted. And leave him much less prone to constipation in future.. I suspect being a 'pound for pound' tough guy will count for little whilst he resides at Windsor's pleasure, other than to make him a target. Who inside wouldn't want to be able to say they'd kicked the sh*t out of a former world champion? Even a tiny one?

I thought you looked strangely familiar...

I could find no mention of it in the brief google-based search I just did. But I had just lost my glasses (again) and probably missed some vital clues. Was Skeletor. Considering he couldn't even recognise He-Man was Prince Adam with a light tan (and a strangely familiar looking green stripy enormous pet cat) he needed to be replaced by someone much more..... sleuthier. And I like the pic. I will leave my avatar alone for more than 5 mins one day. But not today.

Anyone know when Tempus' Location in his member profile changed to 'currently the subject of much speculation'? I think this has happened since his alleged disappearance. I'm sure it was 'North of London, South of Birmingham' (but spelt to show accents) last time I noticed, not that I check. Or did a mod change it? Can they do that, or if not, can they tell when it changed? (This post is supposed to sound slightly less like I've just joined the Scooby Gang than it appears. Zoinks!!)

Oh well, I'm glad I can legally see my own life. regards, Hein My life has been rated: Unfortunately for me, I can still legally see almost all of my life too..

Damn fine choices CR, at this precise moment mine are: - Rain Song - Led Zeppelin I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones Exit Music For A Film - Radiohead Star Guitar - Chemical Brothers The Staunton Lick - Lemon Jelly Sing - Blur Just Who Is The 5 O'Clock Hero? - The Jam I kept it to a maximum of 1 song per artist just to add a bit of variety, and had to try not to pick from your list of artists too much. The list will have changed by the time I press 'add reply' though. As for luxury item, that would be a cannabis plant I reckon. Or better still, a plantation. If I were actually on Desert Island Discs, I might change that to Cameron Diaz. I'd finally get the chance to see if 'she would' if I truly was the last man alive (on the island at least, same principle). I reckon after a few days of my undoubted charm, we'd be, er, really good mates.... in that special way that means the same as 'No f*cking chance. Ever. Ever.' etc? Maybe that's the real reason his show is called 'Ray Mears Bushcraft'.

The story would be better if it were true. It is a hypothetical case made up by Don Harper Mills for the occasion of his speech.Unsurprisingly, it has found its way into urban mythology. That doesn't surprise me a bit. I just couldn't be arsed to check. regards, Hein You'd think I'd learn to be a little more cynical by now; the whole event of wishing it to be true meant that for once (only the once I'd like to think), it didn't even occur to me to doubt the truth of it. Or maybe I'll blame MH for having a scent of trustworthiness about him, which completely masked the odour of 'can't be arsed' on this occasion.

My word, karma can work very fast these days... that might be the weirdest death I've ever heard of, which for a member of this site is a bold claim. As Dr. Spock (the Star Trek one) might have said, 'It's suicide, but not as we know it.'
