Grim Reaper 183 Posted April 8, 2004 Hey Yeti! I fear you'll be hearing from Mr Stats' lawyers for that blatant bit of plagiarism cf: http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=94 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Our Sole 5 Posted April 20, 2004 Mr Reaper, I have to say that 2004 is looking likely to do down as a year of missed opportunities. Perhaps you should change your brand of beer at HQ and in the case of the late Mr McWhirter: "Dead-ications what you need......" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy 21 Posted April 20, 2004 And just when you thought Maradona was the next big name football player to hear the final whistle, news comes through of the death of Bobby Simpson, goalkeeper for the Lisbon Lions Celtic team back in 1967. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...tic/3642291.stm Parkhead is fondly called paradise by Celtic supporters, but it is a different venue of that name that Bobby now goes to play.

Grim Reaper 183 Posted April 20, 2004 McWhirter a miss??! No way! A spritely 78 year old with no known illnesses - no chance. Frankly I think we would have had more chance of picking his bro in 1975! Lets get real Mr Sole or I will have to bring Mr Stats into the discussion On the other hand a change of beer brand isnt such a bad idea - what do u suggest? Kronenmorgue? Carling Black Armband?? Bodytons??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Watch Beatle 40 Posted May 4, 2004 I know picking old Royals for the DeathList is a bit of a lottery, so the death of the Duke of Devonshire, although a bit annoying probably isn't a missed opportunity. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/derbyshire/3682897.stm Shame though, he did look like he was ripe for pegging-out. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 77 Posted May 4, 2004 Favorite topic time - yes, we all know there's a Devonshire, or at least a Devon, and I guess I was dimly aware that there are a few Dukes still out there, but really, who's heard of this dude? Without reading the obit can anyone name one thing about him? So, I'm with DWB - no regrets that he wasn't on the list. Now if one of the Dukes of Hazzard was to die that would be newsworthy.....

Grim Reaper 183 Posted May 4, 2004 Now I am definitely missing the point here... Anyone got any idea what Mr Dilliams has a problem with? Is this a case of random rage or is there a point to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy 21 Posted May 12, 2004 Spotted this on Yahoo news page Fred Dale, creator of nasty smells, dies Whilst I wouldn't for a second think he was famous enough for this list, despite his litany of succesful nasty smells, I couldn't help but think that we missed an interesting headline...

God 0 Posted May 14, 2004 Jesus, man. Atletico Madrid owner Jesus Gil is in intensive care. Difficult to picture a worse prognosis than the one quoted here: "He's in a state of profound sedation with signs of neurological instability - he remains in an extremely serious condition," said the Clinica Centro. And today is Friday. See you Sunday then, son. Eh?... Oh, yes..... I am God. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
