Brinsworth House Baiter

Okay, this probably won't have much of a shelf-life, given the recent fashion for topic closure, but my sick & never bored mind got round to wondering whether there are any known accounts of famous people dying whilst in the act of sex. By this I mean with another person, as against asphyxiating whilst trussed up on your own & wondering when Paula's going to get back from shopping. Celebs, literally corpsing on top of their partners, that's what I wanna hear about. Pictures, too, would be a strange bonus, although I accept that these might be something of a scarce commodity... After a quick trawl on Google I came up with little, except for these Carnal pervs from the annuls of history: Catholic Popes who died during sex: Leo VII (936-9) died of a heart attack, John VII (955-64) was bludgeoned to death by the husband of the woman he was with at the time, John XIII (965-72) was also murdered by a jealous husband, Pope Paul II (1467-71) allegedly died while being sodomized by a page boy. Which is nice. I'm sure you can do better, so over to you lot...

Hello? Bou? Mister Fugit? Why has this flourishing thread, nay, my current reason for living been closed? I haven't been this upset since the police raided the Blacksmith's Arms & closed it down! Or does this automatically happen to a thread whenever it nearly reaches the 1000 tally? There was mention of it being brought down into the gutter, but I didn't notice anything particularly vulgar. Certainly nothing more offensive than your average Carry On film. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is the result of a handful of moderater's sour grapes, because they feel the thread has no intellectual value & has resulted in the peasants enjoying themselves. Please explain.

I feel it was a necessary battle for us DODO's to become involved in & I hope that the reopening of the original thread brings an end to the matter. Bou, I hope your daughter is okay. However, i think it might be a while before I post again, if ever. The level of hypocrisy I have seen from certain people today is astonishing & the fact that they have reduced themselves to barbed personal insults speaks volumes in my opinion. I joined this forum, on Godot's invitation, because I thought it was witty fun. Today has shown me that there are obviously draconian limits on such fun that no moderater will bother to fully justify. To be threatened with IP banning for utilising free speech was the final straw really. I have no wish to depart in a flurry of expletives, DelTorso style, so I'll just depart.

I daresay an obstreperous child, chastised for dive-bombing adults on a Sunday afternoon while they're trying to read the (serious broadsheet) paper or make model aeroplanes or whatever also feels a bit wrongly done by. Um, okay... Following on with your analogy...such as it is... why not read your ever so clever big paper in a thread more to your liking? I fail to see what I have done to warrant personal attacks or being called a child...

Yes, I quite agree, it was a place of good natured banter & guest initiated venom...but then someone closed it down without any proper explanation. All we have done today is campaign for its reopening in a good natured way, but certain moderaters seem intent on beating us into submission. And yes, there are 1208 threads here, but if one becomes inexplicably popular what exactly is the problem?

Then I have success Which is good, for you certainly don't seem to have a sense of humour today, sir. I feel like a mugging victim...I'm being attacked & I have no reason why...

Well, quite a bit more, I'd have thought. So, even double entendres are frowned upon now are they? I'm close to giving up.

And that's from someone with well over 1000 posts, so please, what exactly are Hackenslash & I doing that is so heinous? I am presuming that we are the 'you know who you are' to whom our esteemed administrator DWB is referring.

Um, no spite intended, bud, just trying to spend a day waiting for my own death by having a laugh with like minded Death Listers. I apologise if my humour is not to your liking, but surely not laughing would do? I rather feel that there are some amongst us here who are taking this way too seriously...

I would agree with most of that but would like to raise an issue (I'll ignore the slur on tabloid journalists). Although some of the posts may have been somewhat near the knuckle, they were a continuation of a discussion rather than random filth. Yes, the conversation was going a bit far, I don't deny it, but given time the thread would have moved on to more englightened matters. We also did not use the word wanking! Steady on Brinsworth, penis-related material was all over the thread. There were parts that resembled those crude crayon drawings you used to find as a kid in the changing rooms of the public swimming baths where someone had always poked a pencil hole through some strategic area. Even here and now I can see that discussion of antiquated male plumbing is beginning to dampen the thread again. I was merely pointing out that we, well me anyway, have not used any swear words that evade the swear filter... unlike the moderator who was informing us about standards.

Um, why? For holding conversation? On an Internet Forum? What a strange notion.

We thank you for your continued support...

I think any modern pilot would have to be updated, obviously, but the original premise was a good one for its time & might not be so now (bloke living with two birds & continously trying to get in their knickers). I think what seventies sitcoms, such as MATH, had was warmth & characters that you could relate to, as against killer humour...but then there was much less that they could get away with in that era...a little like certain forums in the modern day.

Yes, the conversation was going a bit far, I don't deny it, but given time the thread would have moved on to more englightened matters. Added to that, the Dicky O'S thread has been widely accepted as a DL "common room" where throwaway remarks can be made to lighten the mood of the day. If you just want to engage in chit chat, then join a forum with a Live Chat facility. Enough of the excessive and pointless trivia. This coming from a member who has the highest number of posts, by far, and hides his on-line status? Not to mention the Wikipedia stuff... Brinsworth House, are you with me one this??? Yep, I'm with you. All we've done today is try & highlight how ridiculously oppressive you moderaters are being & get you to get your heads out of the sand & reopen what was a fun thread. Surely the number of posts today proves how popular it was. If we're not welcome here, just say the word...

Cheddar please. I'm sure I can scrape something off...I mean up! Yummy. I love the young Dickie O pic. Wasn't he a handsome little boy? Wasn't he just? And what a legend he became. An inspiration to all of us DODO's methinks.

That was me, am working on a borrowed computer after suffering the dreaded blue screen, probably as a result of some virus from various dodgy links around here. I don't sleep with any other site. Pleased & honoured to have you as a DODO, Godot, but if you've got a virus could you sit over there please? Can you just shut the hell up about Dickie O'. This whole thread is total drivel. There's no need to get like that about it. You only have to ask for something else if you don't like cheese & tuna. We're not oppressive here.

Agreed. But I would suggest everybody listens to Clive Dunn playing spoons. It's brought back so many memories. How the heck was that the B-side? Okay, we'll have it as our official anthem. We can play it as we ride it into battle...our opponents will tremble with fear... Cheese is no problem, Lady Die...cheddar or rancid stilton?

Okay, let's get serious. I motion that we form an action group & issue a list of demands. Obviously I'd like this to be democratic, but here are my suggestions: Name of group: The Dicky O DeathList Organisation (DODO for short) Our demands: 1. The Richard O' Sullivan thread is reopened. 2. This thread is merged with it for posterity. 3. The moderater or moderator responsible for the closure is tied to a chair & forced to watch Man About The House & Robin's Nest reruns for 24 hours. 4. Tuna sandwiches all round. Suggestions welcome, fellow DODO's!

Does everyone realise that if the Dicky O thread hadn't of been closed, it would have passed the 1000 post mark now? How dare they take away that milestone from us. <sobs>

Don't panic! Have they closed Clive Dunn's thread as well? My god, there's no stopping the meglo**iac bastards!

I hear he's going to star in a new sitcom - "Man About the Brinsworth House"

Maybe we should write to Tony Blair or the Queen. Or perhaps Ray Donn of Brinsworth House... god knows I bet he was loving the free publicity.. Actually, the Queen is the patron of Brinsworth House so there is some sense there. Do you reckon this is Dicky O in his wheelchair outisde Brinsworth??? I think someone else posted this elsewhere (on a thread that was enjoyed by so many)... that it looks more like Don Estelle.
