Hilary Lister & other sailing nutjobs

Recommended Posts

Millwall, you might just have hit on something. It puzzled me the way my brother's hi-tech boatyard went into liquidation so quickly. We've hit on a new scheme giving out brochures to community nurses, it's a winner I tell you.

Hilary Lister recently accepted a special award for her achievement. 'Keep encouraging her' I say, 'It's only a matter of time.....'

Careful, please. This sort of posts attracts the ranters; we might end up with another row.

Is that 'row' as in 'how' or 'row' as in 'hoe?'

I have never completely understood the complexities of the DLRI, and thought that this might be as good a time as any to try and figure it out.

 

Do aspirations comprise threats? Where the ranter suggests that s/he 'hopes' we all die etc., does this constitute implied possible action? I mean, I could say that I 'hope' young CLS graduates this year (as I'm sure he will...) but does that necessarily mean I'm suggesting that I'm going to track him down and pop his clogs for him?

 

Am trying to learn; from what I understand, the DL is not just entertainment, it's also an education.

 

Oh - and TF, may I belatedly congratulate you on once again boldly venturing forth into unchartered waters. Hm... kind of like Ms Lister did...

As self-appointed custodian of the DLRI I can answer this question.

 

With threats of physical violence I mean utterances like: "I'll send me mates around and they'll give you a good hiding."

 

Saying "Go on like this and someone will come around and give you a good hiding." is a warning, and thus a threat.

 

"I hope someone will come around and give you a good hiding." doesn't quite make it. I mean: I hope Dame Thatcher dies this year, preferably yesterday, but that doesn't mean I actually intend to do her harm.

 

My verdict: aspirations are not threats.

 

regards,

Hein

Ta-much!

 

Um... so... does that mean that this ranter's score is... 34*/100?

 

*Note: I pulled this number out of thin air. I believe there is some dividing which occurs?

Seems to me that 36 is none too shabby a score for such a short rant - good effort, Unregistered Guest! :banghead:

 

So, Mr Hein, what's the highest score recorded so far? And has there been a single ranter who's managed not to mix up "your" and "you're"?

How do you sleep at night? You have put down what seems to be an incredible achievment in which Ms Lister took part in. I admire her courage. She is an amazing lady who certainly does not deserve to be spoken about in such a way.

Hello guest, I've just looked through the thread (again) and can't find any quotes about her (I agree )magnificent achievement being put down. Perhaps you would like to quote the offending article?

 

P.S. I sleep very well at night, thank you for asking

I understand that this is deathlist.com but where I guess it might be alright to joke about celebrities who drink and do drugs, is it really that necessary to say that someone with a disability who is trying to lead as exciting a life as she can is going to die?

 

I met briefly with Hilary about five years ago. I'm not here to pick fights, just to point out that she isn't very likely to go at all as her spirits have picked up dramatically from not being able to do anything at all. You all can use computers, maybe even get jobs etc. Hilary became a paraplegic aged 27 and had to give up her whole career. Now she's able to do something she enjoys. Have fun, guys.

Katie, at the time she was doing some sort of sailing thing.

Our way of thinking was that if she were to fall overboard etc, she doesn't stand much of a chance.

 

Nothing personal, I'm sure she's a very nice woman....

I thought it was .NET.

When you punch in .COM you get an array of QUALITY investigative products.

No, but it works for a few of us out here. It isn't necessary to drop in and post a fleeting comment either but you chose to do it.

I've only just noticed the wording in the above post. So, if she's paraplegic presumably most of her body above the waist works. If that's the case, then - frankly - leaving her arms still and steering by blowing on a couple of straws is a joke so sick most of the DL regulars wouldn't go there.

Just me that noticed then! Can someone out there tell us, is she a quadra or just a para?
