Brinsworth House Baiter

With a hustle here and a rustle there and sprouts from Brussels! regards, Hein Oh, sod it, I'll come in the dead chat...I'm guessing I won't be alone...

May I be the first to celebrate Godot's twuntdom? Congratulations to the man whom first invited me to join this forum...don't hold it against him. To the man whom I consider my Death List Guru and as such feel it perfectly okay to embarrass... Although, perhaps, special thanks should be winged towards Godot's mum, for finally allowing him out to play and break his twunkdom... Hoorah! Been waiting ages to say this...Godot's a twunt!

That is such a sweet story. May I ask if you sell cockles and muscles? A hearty welcome to this grand forum by the way. I'm sure you will enjoy it immensely, most immensely. Nope, sorry, I've let it go for nearly an hour now and even Notapotato has quoted it and not commented...sorry, these things bother me, irrespective if you are a new post whore or not with nothing to say... It's MUSSELS!

Just guessin': since Dickie O wasn't the household name and major star he'd later become, is it possible the Southampton thing was intended as rustic 'character' to explain why this less than worldly individual would fall for the blatantly brainless plot device that in applying to share a flat with 'Chris and Jo' he was moving in with two other blokes? Another guess: having decided on said plot device someone - either producer or writer - picked their own favourite team, Southampton. You may, or may not, be right...but are we not dangerously straying off the topic of football? I'd hate to be partially responsible for somebody opening a parallel thread for Richard O' Sullivan, in order to take the weight off this obviously popular football thread? Any news re: the agent yet, MPFC? Dicky O, I mean, not your football agent.

Thanks for the advice, Pooka, I'll install a harness and safety net tomorrow.

It is indeed Chelsea, MPFC, although interestingly enough (or not, as the case might be), in Man About The House he portrayed a Southampton fan. Christ only knows why- presumably he was so pleased to get the role he would have supported Carlisle United, had the script demanded such.

I believe that he is the Chairman of Birmingham City these days. Up the Villa!

The Isle of Wight? Who'd have guessed it would end this way when he starred in Spartacus. I saw an interview with him on some obscure English cable channel (Open Access, I think), last year and Jack looked positively flushed with youth. Okay, I exaggerate obviously, but he looked totally compus mentus, although I have to sadly report that there didn't seem to be much evidence of his trademark twitch as he twattered on about how sad the state of modern comedy is today. He is indeed located on the Isle of Wight and there is a tree across the road from his bedroom window, which affords me a grand stalker's view- and I am happy to report that when changing for bed, his trademark twitch returns and provides me with so much laughter as I watch him wrestle his pyjamas around the bedroom that I sometimes fall out of the tree and bruise myself. Honest.

At least I did not use vulgarity to express myself. Perhaps you have not reached the certain levels of frustration that others have obviously attained in the past few days, but, credit where credit is due, yes, at least your copious posts are vulgarity free. I shall aspire to do the same. BTW, I do apologise if my quoted post caused any offence, but I was trying to make my point in a sarcastic way (using vulgarity, yes)- which I have obviously failed to do- and have no intention of 'flaming'.

I'm don't think this forum needs a Flame War. I've tolerated the flaming this far, as it was at least mildly amusing. I don't know other people's feelings in this respect. Perhaps we do need a place for more powerful debate. Of course this topic already has a suitable title. regards, Hein Okay, sorry, point taken. Consider me suitably chastised.

Harsh that, unless there's hard evidence. Best wasn't averse to gold-digging slags and her tolerance of him and the forgiveness she showed suggests she had a few good qualities in spades. Hi, Brinsworth House Baiter, this is Scot's twin brother David. You're right - Alex was attractive and quite forgiving - so maybe calling her a grasping little slut was harsh. Could we please submit a short tribute to our late idol as it would've been his 60th birthday? Hi, George - greetings from two brothers who idolised you. Have a marvellous day and give our love to Sir Matt. Still remembered with love and warmth sleep tight. WE'll never forget you. All our love - David and Scot. Oh my god, there's two of you? I'm not sure the world can cope. I certainly don't think I can.

Oh dear oh F*****g dear, talk about not being able to take a hint. I've tried to offer some advice and put your posting exuberance down to naiivety (I even defended you in one thread) but this is no way to win friends and influence people. I am now of the opinion that Star Crossed did not use nearly enough swear words in his previous post. If you're going to come in here and address established Death Listers like they're pieces of sh*t, then it's not surprising that you're not feeling very welcome. Over to you Star Crossed, set the F*****g dogs on him.

Perhaps his agent could kindly ensure Dicky doesn't pop his clogs until he's made both... I was thinking, you know; seeing as they're making another Carry On film, wouldn't it be fitting to have Dicky in it, seeing as he was in Carry On Teacher as a fresh faced boy? Then you'd have both ends of the spectrum for the Carry On series- fresh faced boy and stroke smitten luvvie. It was just a thought.

I notice today that member absweetie01 is 23. Like Godot mentioned the other week, this is another person who joined up (two years ago), put their birthday in their profile and has never posted. Is there not some sort of time limit by which membership ceases due to inactivity...or better still, death? I guess it would probably have to involve admin trawling through the membership lists to do so and I'm not really that bothered about it, you understand, it's just that I find it odd. Why go through the process of registering & editing your profile & then never post? Are these people suddenly stricken by some curse as they send their details? Are they alcoholics who have no recollection of what they did the night before and wake up in a pool of urine and wonder why the computer's on? Or is that just me? Or are they lonely types who traditionally never get any cards, so they sign up for forums with their birthday details and then, once a year, they log on and look with much anticipation for birthday messages from people they've never conversed with? Wow, all these questions. As Sherlock Holmes might have said 'this is a two pipe problem', but I've got better sh*t in my pipe than his. So, absweetie01, just in case you visit today, in search of birthday wishes, I shall disappoint you. I hope you have a birthday as miserable as the weather at the moment, that you don't get any presents at all and nobody turns up for your party. Apart from the police, who smash your hi-fi to bits and then raid you for drugs. And then put you in a cell with a psycopath who goes berserk whenever she hears the words 'it's my birthday today.'

Star Crossed Wrote: I neither agree nor disagree really, which is probably a good thing as I readily admit that I could never match the vocabulary used in your post. Is there a swear word you didn't use, lol? Sweary eloquence at its best and some F*****g good points made as well.

Ooh, that'd mean I could post in here... Manager's career death? Ailing performance? David O'Leary, come on down.

Nice one. I'm trying to think of something puntastic along the lines of Robin, after he flew the nest, but it's not coming. Oh well, I think I'll hop on the Isle of Wight Ferry and go Douglas spotting.

I'll save posting here for when Doug and O'Dreary finally drag the not-so-mighty-at-the-mo Villa down to join you all. See you in a couple of seasons then...

Alas, lately I have been concentrating my stalking efforts on Jack Douglas. I have no idea whom Dicky's agent is or whether he even still has one- although I would venture that if he does have one, he should perhaps consider changing him or her as they obviously haven't noticed his surging popularity here and capitalised on it by getting him interviews or work. And I was so looking forward to 'Dick Turpin- The Years After Black Bess' and 'Old Pensioner About The House.'

For once, I find myself sympathising with Iain! Freddie Garrity relegated to the "Not Exactly Famous" thread?! He had 4 UK top 5 hits in the 60s, and anyone who was around then would surely class him as pretty famous. "I'm telling you now" went to No.1 in the US. I agree and am quite surprised by the relegation. I would have thought Freddie and the Dreamers were as famous as say, for example, Gerry and the Pacemakers. Not quite Beatles heights of fame, obviously, but surely up there with the likes of Herman and his Hermits? Even if you haven't heard any of their music, I would have thought the name would be familiar enough to anyone over thirty (ahem, nearer forty). Oh well, the speccy crooner's dead, I guess is all we need to know really. Did no-one have him on their list then?

A large percentage of those 80+ pages constitute certain DL members moaning about the topic's existence and validity- deep irony indeed. For some reason it has become something to scorn and deride by certain members, but again, ironically enough, when the thread became 'twunted', they were among the first in the queue to celebrate. For me, like many others, I discovered this forum whilst doing a Google search for Mister O' Sullivan and if you sift through all the bitching it is clear to see that there is much fondness present for the man. Perhaps the greatest thing about this thread is that certain people profess to hate it so much, yet can not stop themselves from posting in it to say so and thus contribute to preserving its status. Classic. And some even go into Photoshop and knock up pictures to post for us to look at and leave us in no doubt that they detest this topic. Even more classic. The stuff of legends.

Don't worry yourself too much Bennet Cerf...I too was guilty of much over eagerness when I first joined and incurred the wrath of certain other members. I understand your enthusiasm, it's a bit like finding yourself in a free bar isn't it? This is a great place, but it does take some getting used to. My only advice to you would be to listen to any advice chucked your way, but don't take anything too much to heart. Nobody means any malice here. Well, there's one or two, but you'll learn to 'cross to the other side of the forum' when you see them coming, lol. You're perfectly right about the admin warnings by the way, but you'll find that people such as Star Crossed are trying to give you friendly advice to spare you that. But, whatever you do, don't stop enjoying yourself. Have fun.

Or put cute arsed blondes in pink bunny outfits on our television screens. You look after my separated at birth spritual brother. Of course I always knew I had a brother someplace- it always stood to reason that someone else must have got all the looks.
