He couldn't spell very well. I wonder if that was the drugs. Some interesting ideas. I've just read the suicide note on his blog & I can't stop shivering now...mmm, perturbing. Young & obviously a brilliant mind, so it seems a shame. I also note that he lists Moby under his favourite music, but I can't fathom why this stands out for me or even if it has any relevence- but I do know that I listened to an ex-girlfriend's Moby CD once & I was proper depressed for days.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted January 26, 2006 Sudharmono, Vice-President and deputy to DL candidate Suharto A tad obscure. I happen to recognise the name, but I wonder if he'll get a broadsheet or BBC obit. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I happen to recognise the name, but I wonder if he'll get a broadsheet or BBC obit. regards, Hein Probably not. I only posted him because of his relation to a DL candidate. And I finally did something I always chide others for. Apologies to you Octo, I missed your post on Faynard Nicholas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 26, 2006 Pornstar Anna Malle has apparentely died according to her homepage. Can't back this up with a news article, but it'd be a bit odd if her own site was playing such a strange joke. Too bad, she was a fine actress from what I'd seen. I'd be tempted to do an avatar tribute, but I think there's enough questions out there about the sex of our forum regulars... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the second part of your screen name might provide enough clue as to your gender for most of us here, Paul. BTW, I've been meaning to ask (no doubt I'm going to show my ignorance to all now), but who is that odd looking geezer in your current avatar? Is he a Canadian Conservative?

Is he a Canadian Conservative? That's Gilles Duceppe, leader of the Bloc Quebecois. I forget exactly why I chose him to be my avatar... I think it had something to do with me hating the Bloc Quebecois and wanting to propegate some wishful thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
