Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 3, 2007 I don't think Barzan and Awad will be executed until next week, I'm hoping for next saturday the 13th. I'm against there eligibility on DDP. It's all unatural death, and it's certain they will be hung shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 3, 2007 About 1% chance I'd say, the Iraqi Government will learn from Saddam's death and no cameras will be present from now on. In Iraq the mercy of human beings is back around 1400. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About 1% chance I'd say, the Iraqi Government will learn from Saddam's death and no cameras will be present from now on. I'm with you half the way, I think the cameramen will learn as well and some enterprising sicko/news editor will try and get a buttonhole camera smuggled in.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted January 3, 2007 My sister is a fan of the site and we were talking about my DDP team. "Do Condemned Iraqis count?" "Yes, but they usually only get as far as 7 or 8" Boom Boom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted January 3, 2007 What are the chances of these two getting off with it now? They weren't really THAT bad, were they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Crossed 33 Posted January 3, 2007 I'm against there eligibility on DDP. It's all unatural death, and it's certain they will be hung shortly. It's not enough that they're due to be hanged, Banshees is determined to kick 'em whilst they're down by insulting their manhood. I too have taken cynical advantage of the current "Islam vs ROTW" aggro in my DDP/HDP teams this year, proferring both:- Ahmed Sheik Sharif (leader of Somalia's Council Of Islamic Courts) and Mohammed Deif (suspected master bomb-maker, anit-zionist hero and military leader of Hamas) for untimely, if glorious, returns to Allah following their successful martyrdom.

Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 4, 2007 Everybody will have five hits by the time all the teams are up. Stop your whining. 400 teams times 20 candidates is 8000 names that have to be sorted, even if many of them are duplicates (they still have to be properly sorted). Pretending that, unlike you, the two gentlemen who run the DDP have lives, it's going to take quite some time to do all that coding, so keep your panties on. It'll be up sooner than you think, and this will all be a faint memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand that. I should have been more thoughtful and realistic. I apologize. Pretending that, unlike you, the two gentlemen who run the DDP have lives, it's going to take quite some time to do all that coding, so keep your panties on. It'll be up sooner than you think, and this will all be a faint memory. Shut your mouth. And take that back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted January 4, 2007 Snooker.co.uk will probably run the most comprehensive obit. Mind you, next to their site the game of snooker looks really exciting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you, next to their site the game of snooker looks really exciting. well...this sites home page is so exciting , I need to sit down . From a 5 sec glance , I tend to think that the chances of an obit at this site in the next 3 months are slim . However , Mr Smyth will make the nationals tomorrow , have no fear .

It was reported as a main news story on Calendar (local Yorkshire TV channel )...He died in Chesterfield , I think...they showed a clip of him as a ref at the crucible .....he will be front page on the Yorkshire tabloids !
