BrunoBrimley 86 Posted July 29, 2006 I say he dies in August. The first or the second. The first or second what, Time? Of August. What didn't you understand. Is this another one of those multiple choice questions Edgar?

Vinegar Tits 605 Posted August 4, 2006 I don't think he's going anywhere soon to be honest. I reckon news of his death would be taken as a sign of Israeli weakness, what with Olmert not being a military man and so on. Can't see any announcement being made while the Lebanon crisis continues. No doubt Sharon's death will be announced about, ooh, two days into my Israel holiday, so I'll make it sometime in early 2007. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could I interest you perhaps in an upcoming tour of Helmand province or maybe the Bazra illuminations in October. They say Darfur is nice at that time of year where you can sample true Janjaweed hospitality. Or there's Skegness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I'd get into either Afghanistan or Iraq with an Israel passport stamp but thanks for the suggestions (I'll pass on Skeggy if it's all the same) Were it not for the cat I'd be in Israel at this very moment - would have flown in about the very time the rockets started flying. I miss all the fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Crossed 33 Posted August 7, 2006 looks like big fat Ariel is going to last a few years in that coma to me.Castro will probably beat him to hell I was under the distinct impression, iain, that you made some sort of iron-clad promise to leave, 'pon the survival of Michael Foot. Michael Foot lives on. And yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,612 Posted August 7, 2006 Iain man, I'm not sure your prediction of years left for Ariel is any more accurate than the instant demise of Foot or Robson. Israel's laws on removing life support are more tolerant than Western Europe but we're still faced with low brain activity in a horizontal fatty with many years of stressful employment on the body clock. His doctors aren't treating one problem they're trying to balance a few and see off a couple more. Tricky, even when you're the best around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,180 Posted August 7, 2006 looks like big fat Ariel is going to last a few years in that coma to me.Castro will probably beat him to hell Hold on a minute. You were the one who berated me for my lack of medicinal knowledge when I said Sharon was not going to die when he worsened a few weeks back and you said his death was immiment. Make your mind up.

It seems we were debating with not a made up mind. In life, no matter what you want, or especially debate for, you must know where you stand, if you don't know that it's practically certain that you will loose. Sharon should be an easy slot 1 canidate for 2007, but his survival untill then is impossible to predict. I think it may be out of reach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted August 7, 2006 You know it's rather odd but at this moment I am listening to Swing Low Sweet Chariot on a c.d. Wonder if it means anything with regards to Ari's demise... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,612 Posted August 8, 2006 Aye, not exactly a golden period for our Iain, Biggus Dickus or whoever he might be this week. C'mon Iain man, fight back, claim your posting place with wit and sparkle, or summat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted August 8, 2006 Aye, not exactly a golden period for our Iain, Biggus Dickus or whoever he might be this week. C'mon Iain man, fight back, claim your posting place with wit and sparkle, or summat.Given the options you've presented him with, I think the clever money's on 'summat'. Iain, I've kind of mentioned it before, but why not become an Astrologer or a Medium or something like that? You could get away with being even less accurate with your predictions than you are now, with the added bonus of: - you possibly getting paid for your troubles me not having to read or hear about it Keep up the good work! Thought for the day: - I think a lot of the world's troubles are caused by people not being able to accept coincidences for being just that. If people could realise most if not all stuff just happens due to consequences, and that for every million to one shot there are potentially 8 billion people it could happen to (meaning over the course of a life loads of unlikely things should happen to most people) then everybody might stop looking for the signs/hidden meaning/bigger picture/religious significance etc. in every f*cking thing and just get on with living. And Russell Grant would be out of a job, if nothing else. Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLC 9 Posted August 9, 2006 Apologies for my slightly odd 'thought for the day' comment yesterday on this thread; I walked under a ladder earlier that day and it must have cursed me with bad luck and judgement, and so absolves me of all responsibility for my actions.... Again, I'm not entirely sure what point I'm trying to make but you can't have everything. Maybe I walked over 3 drains earlier today or something...
