Grim Reaper 186 Posted February 10, 2005 Great PR Rude Kid! I fear my posted comments have already been intercepted by the powers that be at the BBC - and to think I just paid my damn TV Licence!! Watch out for those additional bandwidth charges this month Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluesDragon 0 Posted February 10, 2005 Why do people who complain always have bad spelling and grammar? If they'd just take a moment to think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted February 11, 2005 It all serves to keep our Department of Speculative Etymology busy. You wouldn't want Professor Horsemen out of a job now, would you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted February 11, 2005 hmmmmm, just came across this thread. Mr. Kid might have been referring to some of my critiques of the DDP's fame threshold. But the good news is I've decided to retire them and focus on supporting his excellent site. Bad news though is someone's off to an absolute flyer in the 2005 competition - 5 deaths already. Of course, I'd only heard of 2 of 'em...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loco 0 Posted February 11, 2005 I've got a couple of digs in... anyone else fancy having a go at some of those saddos out there that have got nothing better to do than complain and whine? http://www.bbc.co.uk/derby/content/article...esponse#comment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loco 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Excellent! I just loved Mr Channon's comments about him contacting the Home Office because it's obviously illegal. I bet parties at his place are kicking..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted February 11, 2005 This is an utter disgrace - havent these people got anything better to do with their sad lives?? It makes me sick to think that there's a team somewhere smugly patting themselves on the back for winning last year's competition!deathlist.net From the comments section of the BBC DDP article! This was a particularly fine reply, but the forum generally is hilarious - hours of fun! DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted February 11, 2005 I've had an email back from the enquiries team at the Home office and they tell me that they can do nothing about this so-called 'Dead Pool'. I am as disgusted by them as I am with Messrs "Kid" & "Baboon" and the lot of you. They wouldn't let this happen in France.Ken Channon This one comes a close second!

Frenzy 0 Posted February 11, 2005 God will have no part of this. It is sinful and wrong. As a practising Baptist, I find it grossly offensive to derive pleasure in such a sick way. Mark my words, on Judgement Day both Rude Kid and Seigfried Baboon will pay a high price. Repent now and close down the site for the good of your mortal souls.Richard Friedman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted February 11, 2005 The comments are getting better by the minute, I see. This one Oh My Sweet Lord ! What a hideous and obsecene idea. I think it should be shut down immediately. I will be writing to Mrs Currie MP to see what she can do. Children could see this perverted sight. Why won't someone think about the children !Mrs Trellis, North Wales gives me a stretching feeling in one of my legs, though. Anyway, the DDP may expect a considerable growth in the number of teams next year. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rude Kid 3 Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) Some hilarious stuff there - even better than we'd hoped for! And they promoted us to the lead story on the BBC Derby homepage at lunchtime, knocking local heroine Ellen MacArthur off the top spot. Boat schmoat. EDIT: I see we've now been replaced by a story about a sodding buffalo...what goes around comes around! Edited February 11, 2005 by Rude Kid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted February 11, 2005 This subject was running on two independent threads, so I thought I would merge them to keep it all together. Unfortunately, the 2 threads merge in date/time order, so some of the replies have now got out of sync. Sorry about that. It seemed like a good idea at the time! DWB Edit: Most apologies to HCW - he seems to have come off worst in this merging fiasco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted February 11, 2005 It does make the "I've done one" comment even more amusing now it's divorced from the rest of the thread. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
