Mr Stats 9 Posted March 21, 2004 Hello Some of you will remember the fun we had writing Idi Amin's obiturary last year. Self declared King of Scotland and accomplished accordian player (or something) Anyway, thought I'd mention this great programme about him on C4 which I'm watching with Death In Pixie Boots at the moment. "The Man Who Ate His Archbishop's Liver" Tremendous. He's just banned flip flops in the street as they were for the bathroom only. Mr Stats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted June 16, 2006 Sadly on this I have no recollection of this great moment. At any rate I am wondering whatever happened to Mr.Stats. You know my neigbor is nicknamed Stats and he has been gone for nigh on to a year now....coincidence or is it related? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted June 16, 2006 Mr Stats was mentioned in despatches when I started a thread asking if there was a DL Statto, didn't post on the said thread though. Maybe, he's - like - become a statistic himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,235 Posted June 16, 2006 It is not uncommon for people to stick the word 'like' on the ends of there sentence for no apparent reason. For example: Mary: Hello Bob, how are you today? Bob: I'm fine like. Fit like yersel? Mary: I'm fine. Just off to work. Bob: Oh it's a chav like. Mary: Oh aye, I ken at. As we can see Bob has used the word 'like' more than he needs to. End of lesson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted June 16, 2006 no apparent reason. Are you serious? There's parts of this country where gettin' the intonation or the needless words wrong is - like - a matter of life and death. Windsor clearly isn't such a spot! Mebbe if we sell West Cumbria we could buy a semi down your way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After seeing the startling accuracy of "It's Christmas in Canada," I believe everything South Park has to say about Canada (and no, that's not completely sarcastic either - they definetely got French Canada spot on).
