Godot

Just muscling in on the squid action.

Feverishly checking Glancing casually at the scoreboard I noticed that only one of the top ten teams had Dame Liz. So while DDT keeps his 6 point lead with joker in hand, the chasing group is bunching up. Keeping a close eye in the meantime on developments in Lybia.

Rather than starting yet another thread for a single query why not add this to the "Ask a Deathlister" thread? It's what it's there for, says Mr Tidy.

Don't die.

. I didn't really know where to put this. I thought I was a hard assed bastard but I found this upsetting, the hopelessness of it all. Nobody wants these poor sods so they risk everything for some kind of life, then die like this exposed and filmed like body porn. I wanted to look away but couldn't, just thought about their final hours and what had brought them to this. My French isn't great but it sounds as if they were coming through Niger to Libya as a transit to Europe.

What you need are some Mormon underpants. Worn on the outside they will see off any predatory JWs.

Hmm, so much for sympathy, Godzilla is trending on Twitter just now.

Yes the logflume looks popular at Tokyo Disneyland today.

Time to add that last lick of paint to your ark in Tuvalu and other low lying pacific islands.

James Lovelock says we're all doomed, nothing can be done. He seems to be enjoying life at 90.

Probably more chance of him getting a job as UK special trade envoy. He has the right connections. I'll keep me' coat on, not stopping.

Make up stories for the Daily Star.

In the absence of SC, a short post to record Sir Patrick's 700th The Sky at Night at his home with Astronomer Royal Lord Rees and the young pretender Brian Cox sizing up the monocle. it's getting difficult to pick up everything Moore says now. You get the feeling the BBC is already splicing clips from the show for the obituary. I can't see there being many more.

Looking forward to the .

Why the Octopus has suckers:

You've heard correctly. You should also be aware that British people use it as well. Indeed as I am sure you're aware, Sky's channels showing such features were known as "Sky Movies". Don't really know why you made that point, some kind of British English protector are you? I don't recall asking for your opinion but I do recall referring to your "dumb arse" comment in the joke thread and that is certainly an Americanism I wouldn't use every day. Yes I think it's right to take a stand against too many Americanisms. For example, I don't like to hear of Father Christmas being referred to as Santa. Let me direct you to this helpful list. Now I'm wondering, should it be dumb arse or dumb ass? Which do you prefer? I've been waiting for you. That's a bit creepy. It's hardly creepy to be waiting for Godot. (PS. I don't think you got that first time around) No I didn't. Well done. Maybe you're not a dumb arse after all, though I never said you were, just asked the question and you still haven't explained that response to MPFC's joke but there's no law saying you must. AS MPFC himself would say, go well.

There are certain words which are completely different in British and American English, such as tap/faucet, pavement/sidewalk and so on. However there are certain words, of which "movies" is one, which really transcend such definitions these days. I still think you're overly pedantic and that joke about the guy looking out the window was unfunny. That's a bit creepy. I agree that everyone knows what a movie is and here in the UK we're familiar with all kinds of Americanisms, we have to be as willing slaves to US imperialism imposed through the media. But a lot of this language lacks subtlety and beauty, hence the irony in the film, American Beauty that may or may not be lost on you.
