Tempus Fugit 214 Posted December 28, 2005 My first few thoughts were - Where and what will Tempus Fugit go and accomplish now? Banshees, I can't tell you how touched, and slightly disturbed I am that your first few thoughts were of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees, I can't tell you how touched, and slightly disturbed I am that your first few thoughts were of me. I must admit I can't even imagine how disturbed your first thoughts were when you clicked www.deathlist.net and all you could see was "Page Can Not Be Displayed" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,654 Posted December 31, 2005 We've been back in business long enough and still no drive by Dickie ranters inspired by their man's brief burst of belated fame via a repeat. I'm tellin' ya, if he doesn't die soon the papers will totally ignore him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,654 Posted December 31, 2005 Aye, but they hired him to make sure there was someone on-set incapable of stealing scenes from a drunk Liz Taylor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bijou in Queen's Crown 2 Posted January 1, 2006 Hi, I'm new btw. And I think it's awful news about Richard O'Sullivan. He was so funny in Man About The House and I didn't know that he was in a nursing home. That's dreadful for someone like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,654 Posted January 1, 2006 That's dreadful for someone like that It's not good for anyone. Welcome aboard, it's been a tradition around these parts for Richard O' Sullivan obsessives to big up the man's talent and fame before vanishing in the face of the mighty wit and intelligence gathered on the Deathlist. Your spelling and puntuation look pretty good. Are you sure you're a Richard O' Sullivan fan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,654 Posted January 1, 2006 A couple of reasons occur to me: 1 - Most of his best known work was transparently vacuous crap and many current DL posters grew up loathing it, or at least finding it annoying and now - frankly - it's payback time. 2 - Taking on and trashing the drive-by Dickie-fuelled ranter(s) posting hereabouts is fun and gives the regular DL'ers that same guilty pleasure you get playing football with a three year old and tackling them with ease. Whatever, this thread'll see 1000 posts I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever, this thread'll see 1000 posts I reckon. A fourth reason could be the fact that Mary and I are trying to keep this thread as active as possible. Admitedly that may be linked to hating MATH in the 70's etc, but I am too young to have seen it first time round. Maybe in my case it is just morbid curiosity.

maryportfuncity 10,654 Posted January 3, 2006 I get the impression 'Man About the House' isn't doing it for you. There's a few things from 1975 we wouldn't want back, The Bay City Rollers, unemployment and strikes on a major scale, Dickie O. Please stay around on the DL and join us in heaping abuse upon his meagre talents and twilight existence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please stay around on the DL and join us in heaping abuse upon his meagre talents and twilight existence. I quite enjoyed being on strike, standing round a brazier and picketing. They were good times when the bosses had to respect their employees and couldn't make them work all hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
