He was on "My Family" again tonight. Apart from being quite a fat chap, he looks robust enough. But compared to co-stars Rosemary Leach (80) & Trevor Baxter (73), he looked a lot older, and I don't think that was simply as he was supposed to be playing an older person than the other two. I have a lot of affection for Hugh Lloyd. Just last night I was playing one of my Hancock DVD's and there he was, as insipid as ever. I can't help it, I just have this great fondness for actors who are famous and recognisable, but have never themselves starred in any telly series or films. I'm talking head billing here. The likes of John Le Mesurier...known by most, but never the main star (unchecked and I await correction). Irene Handl was another one...a jobbing actress familiar to millions for her 'middle aged' lady parts. Lady parts as in roles played by a lady, as against her 'naughty hedge.'* *Copyright TLC...once he has defeated claims of plagiarism, Dan Brown style, by Viz's Roger's Profanisaurus. Oh, there is no point in this post whatsoever, other than the announcement that I have a great affection for Hugh Lloyd. Or did I already mention that? Shame he's ended up in the BBC's Friday night lame comedy slot that only features comedies with titles prefixed by 'My' though.

I thought he had a valid point. Was the clip supposed to be funny? I didn't find anything remotely funny about it. Like Amanda Redman said, sitting beside him, Waterman isn't small and doesn't speak in a high voice. In his whole career he only actually sang 2 theme songs (I think!) so the gag is a lame one to start off with anyway. Then again, I might be the only person in the whole country (apart from the fellow DLister in another thread) that doesn't find Little Britain funny. And how the F**k does someone look cardiovascular?

I think this Sun sensationalism is bollocks. Today they're talking about him getting banged up for ten years- for what? What does that photo actually prove? Is it beyond the realms of possibility that perhaps that fan was sitting on that floor injecting smack, fell unconscious on the floor and Doherty is actually extracting the needle, as against injecting it? Maybe she's a diabetic receiving insulin? How do we know what's in that syringe from a photo? Okay, given his background we can put two and two together to make an educated guess, but how many times in life does that approach end up totalling five? F**k me, it's a photo, not a video. It's not conclusive by any means and I find it hard that he'll be convicted on the strength of it. Even a half-arsed barrister with his own smack problem should be able to get any court case squashed. Two sides to the coin, people... don't accept everything as black or white. There are many shades of grey.

Naughty hedge?!! That's a new one on me. Always glad to broaden minds. Talking of broad minds, that Afrikaans swear site has some pretty imaginative swear phrases. For instance: - "Jou ma naai vir bus-geld en loop steeds" translated is "Your mother f**ks for bus-money and still walks". Maybe more random Afrikaans sweary posts later! Never mind the sweary posts...I'm still checking out the delectable shapes on the right of that webpage. Berrygirl 60 looks like she'd F**k for bus money. Maybe you should edit that link and put 'not safe for work' or something similar.

I hope this hasn't been on here before, but I'm not going to trawl the thread to find out. Buy A Roadkill Rug I'm getting one. I'd never forgive myself if I carked it and never had one of these in my life.

I now have this mental image of you lurking in the bushes at dusk, top hat protruding & cigar between your lips, as you raise your rifle and swing a rabbit into your sights. I'm heartened to learn that you always eat the stuff you shoot. Much more humane than throwing it back.

anyone know if this is Afrikanns? MH - does it resemble Dutch? No, the sentence doesn't look like any valid Dutch. It looks like illiterate Afrikaans. 'Julle' is Afrikaans for 'you (plural)'. 'Se' is Afrikaans for 'yourself'. 'Poese' seems a misspelling, only the gods know of what. 'Mas' I don't even recognise. regards, Hein I only speak English and American, but from what MH & Godot have identified and presuming that the post is perhaps a drive-by rant, could it possibly be something along the lines of 'go F**k yourselves'? That might account for 'poese'- it being collaquial, perhaps. Just a thought.

This could start a trend, naming areas frequented by famous people. A car park named after Stan Collymore and badger infested heathland named after Ron Davies, just off the top of my head. A public lavatory named after George Michael. Erm... I'm done.

No gravy? No, am trying to kill the stuff I eat where I can and haven't worked my way up to a cow yet. Interesting. I presume you're giving your culinary quarries a sporting chance and using only your bare hands? Or have you invested in various traps, rifles and assorted paraphernalia? If it is the bare handed approach, might I advise against contemplating wild boar, ostrich or geese for dinners? Or anything carnivorous that might end up turning the tables and having you for dinner, as I'd hate to see your mishap appear in the ironic deaths thread.

No gravy?

Congratulations! Welcome to insomniac hell and missing the important bits in films due to their surprising vocal range. One bit of advice I can offer is to not wear your best threads whilst in the same post code as your new arrival- this, as I have discovered to my chagrin, is guaranteed to invite copious ejaculate of the poo and vomit variety. 'Tis all good fun though!

TLC, you didn't happen to draw/paint that portrait of Bodie's mate, did you? It's very good, but I can't quite make out the signature. Kudos if you did.

I'd go further than that.New Labour government R.I.P Oh God. With your success at forecasting demise that means they're in power for another decade then.

He's evil and deserves to die!

Wahey! A ranter that has obviously read and taken note of our recent grumblings regarding spelling and grammar. Being the only mistake I noticed at a quick glance. Although perhaps he's overcompensated and let himself down a little in the grammar department by adding so many exclamation marks. Well done, Silveri. Great post. Look forward to seeing you in Hell.

No Why am I not surprised by this reply from one of today's college boys, for whom grammar is the old lady who lives with grandad? Leeway is one thing - many of us spell badly and no-one is going to mind BB's compositions which remind me of Eric Morcambe's comment on his piano playing to Andre Previn: "I hit all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order." But there is too much lazy posting where letters are not capped properly, where apostrophes are ignored and where Chav slang is tolerated, often - which surprises me most - by people who confess they are at college or university. These are the same people, I guess, who go out in to the world and promote that ugly management speak that is even creeping in to schools. It's a sign of a crumbling society. The Deathlist should resist it. I agree. Whilst grammatical pedantry can become very tiresome, for me one of the things I like about Death List over other forums is that it isn't littered with text and 'Chav slang'. Like Godot said, the odd apostrophe and bit of cap control doesn't hurt, does it? And he makes a good point about bad standards creeping into schools. I pull my hair out over some of my step-daughter's spelling and do my best to show them the correct way, hopefully without alienating myself too much. It's where some schools are encouraging phonetic spelling and simply not correcting basic grammatical errors that's it's all falling down. The endearment value of homemade birthday cards with 'congradyoulashuns' written in them does tend to wear off a little when the child handing it to you is eight...or am I setting standards too high? I look at their homework, see it's festooned with basic spelling mistakes and advise they seek help from a dictionary, but they look at me as if I'm from a different planet. So, I back away and wait for said homework to return to the house and look forward to seeing it covered in red ink. That'll teach 'em. Except it doesn't, for when I see that homework in their book again, the only red ink is the 'excellent work' scrawled at the bottom. What chance do we, as parents, have of trying to correct them, when the teachers can't be arsed? Another bugbear is when they bring home letters from the school. It's sport to Mrs. BHB and I, pulling them to pieces for spelling and grammar mistakes. Surely, as a school for Christ's sake, it is their basic duty to employ someone in the office who, even if they can't spell, knows how to run a F*****g spellcheck after typing each letter? I despair, I really do, for future generations (behold, I am now turning into my own father before your very eyes!) if it isn't addressed. I have nightmares about my great grandchildren's children being monosyllabic, grunting savages because we, the last generation who could help didn't. Godot is right, the Death List should resist! A call to arms! Find a hooded Chav today and whack him over the head with a split infinitive. Grab a teacher and assault them with a reflexive pronoun. Seek out children and bestow upon them the might and wonder that is a full stop. Between us, we could make this world a better place.

How imminent is imminent? 28 days on, we wait.... erm..a few months maybe? But definitely, categorically and beyond any shadow of a doubt, sometime in the future, eh Iain?

Hughray!

Why is that amusing? Are we supposed to laugh at people with disabilities? Perhaps you should buy yourself a copy. You might learn something. I rather think that perhaps you've taken CP's post in the wrong vein, Godot old chum...perhaps the old gravy withdrawal symptoms kicking in? The way I read it was that CP is making a joke about the inference of the book's title...as in 'who gives a stuff about...', as against 'who are the people that actually care for...' and then the irony of giving a child such a book (oh, no, the irony minefield again). Don't let the gravy addiction fuel your political correctness.

There's more than 100 links on Google news for Bonnie Owens, Here's one from The LA Times. TF, thanks, I'm just really tired. got just 3 hours sleep last night and have to be up at 4am to take the wife to the hospital. By the end of tomorrow, Deathlist will have a new member Congratulations in advance and sincere wishes for a safe arrival, Phantom.

I really dont care. Just make it so people stop whinging. If we were whingeing, we'd start on the spelling mistakes in your signature... Don't let it get to you, Thief, we're only playing. Welcome to the forum. You'll like it here. Just think, after you've made a few posts and got to know everyone you can also take pleasure in baiting the newbies... Oh, and you'll find loads of spelling mistakes in my posts where you can exact revenge!
