Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted January 15, 2009 We in the USA had never heard of him! Bad luck, more points for us in good old Blighty who had heard of him then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSBfromH 74 Posted January 16, 2009 "The Old Etonian was open about his love of living the high life, which included consuming large amounts of alcohol, claiming to have drunk eight bottles of wine, a bottle of rum, a bottle of port and a bottle of vodka in one night." I was trying to establish what entitled him to be styled "Sir", but this would be down to him inheriting the baronetcy. However, I would have had him knighted for the above feat anyway!

Tomb raider 9 Posted January 17, 2009 "The Old Etonian was open about his love of living the high life, which included consuming large amounts of alcohol, claiming to have drunk eight bottles of wine, a bottle of rum, a bottle of port and a bottle of vodka in one night." Is it actually possible to drink that amount of alcohol without being dead or comatose? I'm sure Sir Dai was a big consumer, but the eight bottles of wine alone would have given him a blood alcohol content of about 10,7 permille. Just the two bottles of rum and vodka would have lead to about 11,9 permille, assuming that the man was about 100 kgs. A permillage of 3,5 is supposed to be fatal. I don't know how you measure the BAC in Britain, but I'm sure that such concentrations are considered as lethal in the UK as they are in Holland. Dai died, the remaining question is: did Dai lie?

Maybe he just had a sip out of each bottle. Other than passing the Eton entrance exam (if there is one), he doesn't seem to have achieved anything at all in his life, other than getting through his inheritance and then relying on the generosity of friends in return for telling them jokes. His brother shagged Princess Margaret though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwynhafyr 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Any chance of us having the obit posted anytime soon? I know no one cares about his death, not even Dai himself I suspect, but there are standards to be maintained. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 31, 2009 FU scumbags, RIP Dai, you people make me sick, this is a great man with a great legacy I hate you all mo f***kers Legacy of what? The only 'legacy' he had was the one he inherited in the first place and then he pissed it all away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwynhafyr 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Ohps looks like I've upset a Dai supporter. As for what legacy well to be fair I suppose the one legacy he did leave is showing the world how to have a good time and to hell with the consequences. Sounds like my sort of legacy.

I thought the parents simply had to send in a photocopy of their bank statement/share portfolio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwynhafyr 0 Posted February 1, 2009 I think they have to be able to spell their name as well as have a fat bank account, otherwise how would they sign all those cheques? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
