Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted May 17, 2015 Just a thought: if someone started a thread about an individual and 12 years later you're still talking about his impending doom, it was a stupid fucking thread to begin with started by a damned fool who jumped the gun. Reminds me of the totally needless Angelina Jolie thread. You should be chastising the person daily, not having actual discussion giving credence to the fool who posted the thread. Damn glorymongers, just want to start threads for no reason. SC You obviously haven't read through this thread....... or seen the "recent" pics of the guy? (2009) Note how he's got a walking stick that looks like it's probably called a "HobblePro" or something. and a look on his face like an angry obese rat who keeps having his food stockpiles raided by squirrels. It was clearly some sort of nuclear megastroke and he's "lucky" to still be here (or... maybe unlucky). Your latest thread-police raid is about as misplaced as one of Mr. Roper's attempts to curb the wild hedonistic lifestyles of his tenants! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,617 Posted May 17, 2015 I think the likes of MPFC, Pooka and Godot knew this, and I exclude them from my pity. Cheers Time, much appreciated, as is the cheesy shot of Katy Manning and the Dalek (didn't that cost her the job, or summat?) Nice to visit the old common room - Dickie O' thread - once in a while. That was pulphack. The photoshoot was some years after she left Dr. Who. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Kettley 49 Posted May 18, 2015 Dickie's former Robin's Nest squeeze Tessa Wyatt and old mucker George Layton both appear in tomorrow's Doctors episode, obviously in a BOGOF deal. It would be great, if unlikely, to see Richard sneaked out of Brinsworth for a daytrip to Letherbridge one of these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted February 22, 2016 So anyway. there's relative newcomers hereabouts wondering if the tonnage of posts on the Zsa Zsa and/or Castro thread(s) are remarkable, I thought I'd let post 2033 on this thread speak for itself. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,476 Posted February 22, 2016 So anyway. there's relative newcomers hereabouts wondering if the tonnage of posts on the Zsa Zsa and/or Castro thread(s) are remarkable, I thought I'd let post 2033 on this thread speak for itself. True story. When I first saw this thread (nearly a decade ago) I had never heard of the actor in question, so my first thoughts were: "Blimey, the horse racing guy is very popular here". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted February 22, 2016 Oh aye, and - for the benefit of you newbies - one problem with the Dickie O thread here was the amount of time people kept dragging it back to the top and posting marginally relevant and inconsequential rambles, you know, like the one in this post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted February 22, 2016 I was hoping this thread had finally been put to rest. Cheers Maryport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,476 Posted February 22, 2016 So you'd say you're a rambling man, MPFC? Think on the bright side. When O'Sullivan actually dies, someone somewhere is going to read through this entire thread from the start. Hello to annoyed guest posters and new forumites from the future - bet you're fed up right about now. Don't worry, only another few dozen pages to go now... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 22, 2016 I've got a lot to thank (or maybe curse) Richard O'Sullivan for... If it wasn't for chance watching of the "Man About the House" film in 2005, I would not have been curious as to his current whereabouts. It was a look through Google (or was it Yahoo?) which took me to this thread on this website, without which I wouldn't have discovered the Derby Dead Pool, which I took part in in and eventually run as host. So thanks Dickie for making every Christmas since 2009 that bit busier! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted February 22, 2016 I can't mind how I found the forum. Someone famous dying in the summer of 2008. Looking it up, it might well have been when I was using google to try and find out who Randy Pausch was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted February 22, 2016 I was hoping this thread had finally been put to rest. Cheers Maryport. Yer welcome, like I said on the Zsa Zsa thread, I imagined a collective groan from the admin staff at its revival. Whether the recent additions hereabouts will see this as their common room is less certain. Back when this thread was a catch all for chit-chat we lacked the threads dedicated to nothing other than how certain posters succeeding in winding each other up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
