Brinsworth House Baiter

Hmmm. I am obviously not all here today. I noticed the mention of his death, entered his name in the DL search and came up with no matches, so figured he wasn't on here. My mistake, Sorry. Ah, the ultra reliable DL search, lol. As a rule of thumb, and not liking being shouted at, I tend not to post anything at all about new deaths. It's such a tricky conundrum, attempting to place them. 'Is it one that we missed/ a near miss/ an ironic death (a minefield all on its own)/ sudden death or one that Iain has already misplaced?' These are the questions I ask myself each time someone snuffs it and, invariably, I find myself unable to be sure of anything other than the fact that the person in question has snuffed it. Death and taxes and all that... Which is why you'll always find me lurking in the lesser quality, low brow threads such as caption competitions or Dicky O (although I pride myself on the fact that I have not yet posted in the Docter Docter(sic) thread). Oh, and in the kitchen at parties...

Squishing people's heads! The only way to pass the time whilst gazing out of an office window. My wife to this day has no idea what I'm talking about when I try to explain what I'm doing. It's one of my many foibles that attracted her initially.... I'd forgotten the name of the show though, so cheers, maybe I can find a copy on video & reveal all to her.

BHB, count yourself lucky, I share my birthday with Diana Rigg and Wendy Richard. Belated birthday greetings btw Thank you. Both actresses were undeniably hot in their day though (Wendy Richard in Carry On Girls was marking point in my adolescence), if that makes you feel any better. I didn't mention Wendy in Are You Being Served by the way, as I don't wish to get Godot over excited and delving back into Mollie Sugden, if you'll pardon the turn of phrase...

Then along came Canadian Paul!

Come on, be honest, how tempted were you to substitiute brain for dick?

I tell you what mate, fellow deathlister or not, if Foot or Ford die in mysterious circumstances over the next few weeks, I'm turning you in.

George said his farewells from Chez Blair, whilst Tony reflected whether or not Cherie had gone overboard in her choice of new curtains.

Can you? Bugger. I'll be crossing them off my asphysixiation sex game equipment shopping list then.

You should see how these elderly prisoners are treated when outside prison. I was visiting Aberdeen Hospital last night and when walking though the corridors was past by an old man in a trolley like wheelchair. The man obviously wasn't well. He looked rather frail, perhaps in his mid seventies. To top this off he was wearing an oxygen mask and leaning to one side. Anyway, to ensure this man could not escape he was handcuffed to his trolley/wheelchair which was also chained to one of the two 'Reliance' staff who were escorting him. He was hardly going to escape without all those procautions in the first place. Ah, but some of these old lags are crafty, you see, especially north of the border. They lull you into a false sense of security, until the guards say 'oh, we don't need to cuff the sweet guy,' and then BAM! Old guy's leaping out the chair, throttling one guard with the oxygen mask hose as drop kicks the other. I saw Larry Grayson do it once. Spry, you see, nimble as Jodie Marsh on a vibrating bed.

Career? How does what those two sick f**ks did qualify as a career? If that's a career then I'm glad I'm unemployed. F*****g career, I ask you!

I dunno- if John Humble is a deathlister then I guess it could be argued that he's been doing his best.

Hmm, constructive post; but it has left me wondering whether if they used a mail bag would it then qualify for the ironic death's thread?

At this stage,she has probably succumbbed to several hairy lorry drivers. If they formed a queue, would it be a convoy?

Well, will the old adage regarding it coming in threes hold true? Sudden, Wells....who will be the third rocker to hang up his guitar? I'm off to get a black armband lest it's Angus, Biff, Vince, Lemmy, Iommi, Kim or Vai. And if the Reaper's got his eye on Ozzy for number three, could he please just aim to the left a bit & take his missus instead, thus sparing us those nauseating F*****g Asda adverts & hopefully the next series of X Factor?

I completely agree with you Godot, but the Moderators are a law unto themselves. A bit of consistency would make a pleasant change though. Well, if Billboard are reporting it & it's finally on his forum then then I guess it's sadly true & I owe an apology to Iain for doubting his word. I disagree that he is an 'obscure musician' though, Godot, my old chum, but then I guess it's all down to musical tastes & what you're exposed to. I've heard of & heard him, but then I've probably got music in my collection that would make the average man cry. Personally I'd say he warrants his own thread, as he well enough known in the music scene, which is why it surprised me that news of his premature death has been so long in trickling through more reliable sources than Wiki. So, well done Iain & don't worry about the musically out of touch old farts here getting upset that you've scooped them! March 27th...the day that music really did die...possibly

That well known pugilist, Mr. M. Ali. That other well known pugilist, Deputy PM, John 'Two Jabs' Prescott?

you are a W**ker mate..................you didnt even know the guy......he was a better man than you will ever be............lets hope one day you are as unfortunate as he was having his voice box removed.....then lets see you crack jokes then. you should be F*****g ashamed of yourself you loser Did you know him? Mime one of his favorite songs. Before or after the operation? This is actually quite spooky, because Oliver! was on UK Living TV on Saturday afternoon. Due to my sister phoning during its transmission & the kids being more interested my son's Gameboy, I muted the volume on the telly. Ergo, I can truthfully claim that I have witnessed Jack Wild miming 'Consider Yourself One of the Family,' and brrr, those hairs are standing up on the back of my neck.

Everyone gave this drunk a wide berth as soon as he started one of his 'hic, I used to own several houses & run the country, you know...' anecdotes.

So, come on then. Who's going to wander on over & ask, straight out, whether the man's popped his clogs or not? Iain, I think the responsibility lies somewhat with you. Apparently Nikki Sudden actually posts on this forum himself, but if you like, you can come back later & try to convince us that he was contacting you from beyond the grave.

'Ooh, if I could just get my hands on that Boudicca for starting this...I'd...I'd....'

In fact, can anyone actually verify his passing, other than the wiki link, as quick search on Google didn't bring anything up. I know the guy ain't exactly Keith Richards, but I'd have thought something would've come up if he had died.

A sad loss to the music world. So who's gonna pop over & console these guys? Nikki Sudden Forum Can't find any mention of his passing, so maybe they're in denial... Sudden's post from four days ago is a little poignant now...

Aha! Is this perchance the act of being ironic? No, that's sarcasm. Or were you being ironic? I'm buggered if I know, mate.

Lol...you got me...I actually thought I'd posted in the wrong thread and had to check... Imagine if I had actually posted in the wrong thread & gone off topic...man, that would have been ironic...possibly...

Now that would qualify as ironic if either bride or groom were meteorologists. No it wouldn't. It would qualify as irony if they had chosen that particular day because it was the least likely to provide rain, but the mere fact that they were meteorologists would have no bearing on the irony of the situation, which is, as it stands, nil. Why would a meteorologist choose to be wed on a rainy day? No one would choose a rainy day for their wedding, common bloody sense. Try actually reading and understanding my reply (emphasis added) before posting more drivel, Tempus. Surely it's obvious that a meteorologist would choose a day least likely to be rainy, why would they do otherwise? Or does the obvious elude your very limited IQ Star Crossed? In another thread TLC wrote: Worthy advice. And in the case of some people, reading the whole thread also provides them with a clue as to what everyone is talking about and thus prevents them from entering a post which is greeted with a communal 'huh?' Or is Tempus being ironic? You know, I'm getting lost in this irony jungle.
