Slave to the Grave 26 Posted November 10, 2005 When did Lennie Bennett die ? He's still alive I'm sure, but I think that thing on his head died years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,904 Posted November 10, 2005 When did Lennie Bennett die ? Every night, Which is why he 'aint on the TV any more Oh I know that, but when did he become worm food? They have him listed as dead. I don't remember him dying and it's the sort of strange thing I would remember Seeing that pic of him brought back a very vivid memory of being violently sick once when Punchlines was on. I must have been about 4 years old Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deathwatch 0 Posted November 13, 2005 Basically DTD's overdone the gimmicks. We here on the DL are not afraid of our own intelligence and ability to amuse each other. So I'm sticking around here. I'm not sorry you think we're overdoing the gimmicks. I'm chuffed, and we've got a whole lot more of 'em lined up! I noticed some other guy also stating that we're "No competition" for Deathlist. Whilst I'd second this, I think it's pretty obvious that it's comparing chalk and cheese, an I hope that you don't think did they die is some sort of "pretender to your throne"!

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted November 15, 2005 There is also an ad at the top of the page, which is pretty contemptible really, given the low price of a pint of web hosting these days. That would disqualify you both somewhat from the HLEGA*, wouldn't it? (*Honourable League of Enthusiastic Gentleman Amateurs) When you're kicking out a load of bandwidth, hosting isn't free. Advertising is a commercial reality. You'll find it on most internet sites. You take my point though, I presume. I didn't say bandwidth is free. I said it's cheap. As is advertising, but in a different sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Understand your point totally... still, didtheydie won't be making millions any time soon.... though visits are really picking up, and people are starting to leave more comments on the profiles ... usually slagging us off for "dissing" their favourite celeb I was extremely surprised to receive a comment calling us "dickheads" for Angela Rippon's profile Obviously we're approving all such posts so they get on the site... and advising these people to contact our helpline, where they can slag us off some more!!

Sorry, should have made it more clear: those comments I found so amusing were not bickers/gripes from you guys but were sent in by "readers"/"users" of DTD... a bit like the very funny Irate Visitors rant here if you must! forum.

Just put a "do not disturb" sign on his file. The career dead are best left comatose. Edited November 16, 2005 by Tempus Fugit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathwatch 0 Posted November 16, 2005 Apparently Lennie Bennett is fabulous company on the golf course and now scratches a living as an after dinner speaker for "international corporate clients". More interesting for you guys perhaps is this gem I found on the net which says that in 1994 Lennie Bennett suffered a massive heart attack - possibly a contender for the next few deathlists?

There's scraping the bottom of the barrel, and then there's excavating beneath the barrel. Lennie is most definitely the latter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted November 16, 2005 I recall footage of Mr. Bennett playing in a 'charity' cricket match with some other '80's nonentities and the all-conquering West Indies team. He rather ill-advisedly tried to catch an enormous Viv Richards shot and ended up spitting teeth all over the grass. Made me laugh like a drain as I recall.
