Aha, he was involved in a bit of history I'm rather interested in: A glider pilot and friend of mine once told me that his aeroclub's club house and hangar at Waalhaven Airport was bombed that day. While the Lufwaffe bombed the field early in the morning, it was an RAF raid that did for the club's fleet. regards, Hein

This is so wrong in so many ways. regards, Hein

You can't. I can, as can other Admins and Moderators. Jusk ask, here or in PM, and it will be done. Probably. regards, Hein

Good luck at art school. A future Van Gough? Careful with that knife, Vaagheid. You might cut a letter off. Oh, and may all your dreams come true. regards, Hein

his singing can't have been that bad for someone to shoot him surely! seriously though,these people really are the lowest form of scum While I'm not exactly a fan of folk music, I reserve the words "lowest form of scum" for sales managers, politicians, child psychologists, traffic wardens, bailiffs and telemarketeers. Oh, and rappers. regards, Hein

Hmm, Madiba looks remarkably like Archbishop Tutu lately. regards, Hein

Yes. Stupid git. regards, Hein

I hope I'm correcting a typo, but it's "toffee-nosed" (as in "pretentious"), rather than "coffee-nosed" Yes, it was a typo alright. Unfortunately not mine. regards, Hein

Abuser: "Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!" Man: "Look, I came here for an argument, I'm not going to just stand..." Abuser: "Oh, oh I'm sorry, but this is Abuse." Man: "Oh, I see, well, that explains it." Abuser: "Ah yes, you want room 12A, just along the corridor." Perhaps this topic ought to be closed in compliance to the Strange Sketch Act. regards, Hein

It's an ape. An ape with a gun and it's not afraid to use it. Ook, Hein

Right, just what we needed: a bent copper. I suppose he does have a gun and knows how to use it. regards, Hein

If you want to know the time, ask Eccles. Brilliant. Well, it was at 8 o'clock. regards, Hein

I knew time's confusing, apparently it's even worse. Q: What's the time? A: Can't say, it keeps on changing. regards, Hein

I suddenly realise that my DDP jokers have a nasty habit of surviving1. 1 Of four jokers, only one died in office, so to speak: Awad Hamed al-Bandar, a very low-hanging fruit. One, Harold Pinter died a year later, two are alive at the moment I write this: Oscar Niemeyer and Ronnie Biggs. regards, Hein

He was quite a significant historical figure though wasn't he? Hardly; EMPs rarely are. I suppose his most remarkable achievement is dying on the same date as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, the second, third and fifth US presidents, respectively. His father was of some historical historical significance, though. regards, Hein

I could have posted this in the Authors Last a long Time topic, but this one's rather obscure: Dutch poet and novellist Ellen Warmond died 28 June 2011, aged 80. No mention of her death in the English speaking world. Not famous enough abroad, I guess. regards, Hein

Somehow I don't think our beloved Chancellor Gideon Osborne will use the US as an example of how not to run an economy like he does with Greece. "We don't want to end up like America, do we?" "Yes we do, George, we all do..." We should probably give the USA its own thread as per the one for Belgium, to chronicle the death of their empire, but the moderators will probably get a hard time from all the drive-by ranters/"patriots." I think, indeed, that we better keep this discussion below their radar. When G.W. Bush was president I got myself in a bit of a row with an otherwise nice geezer from California, when I proposed that the USA is a Third World nation. A Third World nation with nukes alright, but so are Pakistan and India. regards, Hein

We have a winner. This week's Alfred Russel Wallace Memorial Spot The Priority Prize goes to: 10 hours earlier... http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?...st&p=161409 regards, Hein

Not I. I did know of the existence of that magazine, though. I've even read an issue. Does that count? Back to topic: I have a hunch that Sir Terry may take the jump, if you'll excuse my Klatchian, pretty soon. I hope it's wrong. regards, Hein

So the picture to that article should be: regards, Hein
