I often like to just "walk away" and "be the bigger man" in these arguments. So I won't point out that Jake Roberts is a completely different case because that was a user complaining about not knowing someone who was picked by our "esteemed" committee , not me complaining about random people listed here. And if you can't be bothered to google someone who our precious retired-New-Zealand-sportsman-hocking geniuses selected I think that's the real laziness/arrogance right? oh wait oops

let me guess, you've not heard of them so they're "dull suggestions" Actually the funny thing is, I can admit I got mildly carried away by bashing some people mentioned here because I forgot this is for just general suggestions, not suggestions for the front page of DL. And yes actually I did know he was the director of some old Bond movie..... But that doesn't stop it being dull, and actually I don't think he's at all guaranteed to get a qualifying obit for the DDP either. Why should I have heard of him? I can remember tons of movie "facts", but remembering which generic nobody directed which old Bond film is a pursuit probably too lame even for people who think Richard Osman appearing on Football Focus to give his tips for the weekend's fixtures is a "telly highlight of the year". And anybody could have directed Alfie too, movies like that aren't about the director......... Ok let's get one thing fucking clear. Just because it's dull to you, doesn't mean it's not interesting to someone else. Maybe the "one thing" you (or TTT) should have made clear was that he's actually directed three of the more well-remembered Bond movies as well as a bunch of other stuff? As I just found out via Wikipedia? Because then it wouldn't seem such a crap suggestion..... Maybe next you can make it "clear" to me why the onus should be on us to have to Google every obscure name instead of posters actually making the reasons of "interest" for their suggestions more clear.... Oh I'm ever so sorry to have to get you to actually look something up yourself. perhaps I should spoonfeed you the complete biography next time, because obviously it takes time out of your day from being a complete w***er. No, just the fact that he has actually directed more than 2 or 3 nameable films was all I was after actually.. Maybe JFGI should stand for Jonny Fantom's Geriatric Indignance.

TTT isn't gonna let Phantom have that "dullest suggestions" trophy without a fight.

God, these lousy fucking quote box issues (that have repeatedly popped up since they "upgraded" the forum software) are making some of our middle-agers look even more confused than normal aren't they?

Never even seen the 2nd episode of Family Guy?

Ah, now, that's an interesting remark. I won't say NATO's dead, but it sure smells funny. Erm....... you saying the armies of Europe are weakened by cuts following the financial crash? Or just NATO as an alliance is loose or something? Anyway another thing, US military action still hasn't even gotten rid of ISIS so how can you say US-led NATO action removing Russia from Poland would be some sort of swift and easy thing?

How close are you to that border? Does your gut instinct say it's just speculation or do you think he might really do it?

Well I dunno what to tell you Deathers. There's just something about the concept of sitting here spelling it out, when it's not that hard to understand........ that's so offensive to me. Why don't you scroll through the Guardian comments someone else might have pointed out the observation that I made about the headline but chose not to include here. Cos I'll be damned if I'm doing that either.

The headline of this Guardian piece is unintentionally hilarious http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/mar/01/boris-nemtsov-marchers-moscow-honour-murdered-opposition-politician-live-updates (p.s. can a mod move this post to the Ukraine thread instead)

Yeah some of those Democrats in congress and guys like Michael Moore are like, only stuck in the $200-300 million range, those poor impoverished bastards.....

Terribly humourless write-up on the front page. Didn't see any reference to nerds or the, er, "varying quality" of the Star Trek movies.... (so I read, not really from experience, although would definitely watch those over Star Bores any day). Just because news people are overly reverent of a lot of nerd stuff these days does that mean "we" have to be?

If you mean his little digs at Ebert, I'm sure all of those were light-hearted, so stop trying so hard....... Besides he was right he is actually tougher than Ebert was.

Green is the environ-mentalists........ animal supremacists are like.... I dunno, "browns" or something. They like spewing a lot of a certain brown substance anyway.

Fucks sake... 1/50 for the committee, hate it when those bums catch up with me. Also just shows you what a crapshoot death is, to think this guy's gone while fatty Shatner's still out there somewhere getting Jim Beamed up.

That's a fucking basketball reporter... the only vague connection there is that WCW used to be shown on TNT.....

Yeah but... They're young, raging with hormones, capable of monumental sexual athleticism and provided with computer games and other levels of entertainment (including freely available weed at - relatively - affordable prices). Who wants a job? Dunno how you managed to do that Deathers but you had a conversation there with someone who's stuck in February 2008.... did you invent time travel, or doing some mad sorcering of some kind? Well whatever it was, very well done.

They should fly him to the University of East Anglia teaching hospital. BTW don't we have a thread for conmen or whatever?

Obviously he didn't do enough.

Well..... now she's fish food.

Erm.. I think you misunderstood when I said "Mother, fuck her". (serious answer: WE. ARE. THE 99%)

"Excuse me, are you Terry Gill....." "I am!" "Wow, I loved your sketches in Monty Python!"

Well they will probably all come soon in one big ugly clump. You wanna know what things feel really dire to me?: 1. Hearing an annoying lecture from a guest who says "we", when he's a guest. 2. How many boring New Zealanders (double negative?) there are on the list that we've never heard of. 3. How Simon's selection for the DL is "making" me read his Twitter feed constantly. If I wanted constant gross health updates from an ignorant old fart I'd take my ear-plugs out when my mum is in the room. you should have more respect for your mother ! Maybe you're right, Mr. Quest........... she's got a pretty scary glint in her eye when she's holding a big carving knife.
