Godot 149 Posted February 16, 2007 I'm thinking Deathlistsweep is the real McCoy. The more I read, the more I'm warming to him. If you look at his site you see there are bugger all players and some have the same name which fits with relatives. It ain't going to work because the best bets have already been taken. All and all it has the makings of a glorious failure which is very very Deathlist counter culture sort of culture sort of.... sorry have drunk lots of wine and wiskey tonight. . ..Perhaps the mods should change his name to Deathlistsooty.

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted February 16, 2007 Craig are you Chinese by any chance? Wang Zhendong promised investors returns of up to 60% if they put money into the fictitious ant-breeding project, the court heard. '..ere mate, you give me 1000 yen, i'll give you back 600! up for it? and i'll throw in a few giant ants..' ok, all dodgy sounding news stories from China (remember the one about the man who was fined because his kid's yelling supposedly caused hundreds of chickens to die) are from now on going to be classified as "bullshit" until actual proof of their validity. One cannot raise $390 million in respect of an ant farm, nor can one dupe 10,000 people over it, be they peasants or otherwise. File under: This Never Happened. Back to Tony Wilson, I'm seriously considering having a punt on him in the Deathlistsweep. But only if first prize will be paid in ants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted February 16, 2007 Aye, he seems a nice enough chap, quite apologetic really. I'm still not convinced the site is legal. Not because of gaming license issues, but because of the betting on death aspect. Isn't it illegal in the UK to have 3rd party life insurance? That's the sort of thing I mean.

maryportfuncity 10,584 Posted July 11, 2007 I used to say some people make money and some make history - which is very funny until you find you can't afford to keep yourself alive. So he's as sharp as ever with the one-liners, then. Put it this way: Anthony H Wilson may just be a blessing of immense proportions to those voiceless people battling to be heard in the hopelessly complicated lottery of the current NHS. An avowed Socialist, the man and his disease may prove to be a hefty nightmare for Gordon Brown, or summat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted July 11, 2007 NHS refuse Tony Wilson cancer treatment. Nice to see the Happy Mondays have chipped in, they know a thing or two about pharmaceuticals.... £3,500...a bit pricey, but there'll be benefits and that to keep him going. Possibly a hasty WDP choice methinks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,584 Posted July 11, 2007 Yeah, you'd think Ryder and his mates would know a dealer who could ship 'em Wilson's gear a mite cheaper than three and a half clicks a month! Incidentally, does he get 28 days of February a few quid cheaper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incidentally, does he get 28 days of February a few quid cheaper? Shaun's too busy fighting his own anti-anti-smoking campaign: http://www.nme.com/news/happy-mondays/29629 Yes, that is Shaun on the right with Bez. So much for smoking to keep your weight down! He should team up will fellow renegades Joe Jackson and Slash from G&R. Ironically, I suspect Slash might be paying a visit to his home town of Smoke on Trent in the next month: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1274659,00.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
