maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted December 31, 2008 Aye, I'll soon be dropping The Voice of Young Maryport round his mate's for an all night party, his big brother is away in a hotel with his lass so myself and Mrs MPFC are off for romantic eats, a few drinks and a lie in to start the New Year. Go well, one and all, and - as Mercury Rev so aptly put it - see you on the other side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarolAnn 926 Posted December 31, 2008 Well, since my lithium refill hasn't arrived and I'm rationing what lithium I have I may make it to midnight for the first time in years! Being manic is one hell of a way to start the new year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Fourth Horseman 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Well.... Helen suzman has died this morning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Suzman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted January 1, 2009 Right wing "political advisor" and chairman of the Committee For A Free Britain, David Hart, is a very sick man and will be dead before too long. David Harts listed on Wikipedia don't - currently - include our croaking man. So, no CPDP points, then. He ought to get one for the DDP though, quite a notorious figure in his time, friends in high places, all that...providing he pops it next year... Well I picked him for my DDP team - only to be told in DL Chat last night that he was already dead. I can find no evidence to support this claim, so I'm hoping he still breathes. I hope that, unlike Phil Drabble and Steve Fossett, I'm right about this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,903 Posted January 1, 2009 Well.... Helen suzman has died this morning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Suzman Well that's just sodding typical, she was the only survivor of 2008 I left off my team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted January 1, 2009 Nizar Rayyan, Hamas leader. I did wonder about putting a key Hamas figure on my DDP team since it was obvious from the start of the bombing that Israel is targeting their top people along with their strategic sites.

Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted January 1, 2009 Well that's just sodding typical, she was the only survivor of 2008 I left off my team. I don't mean to make it worse... but she would've been an unique hit had you left her on, Handy. No-one picked Rayan, but two teams picked Claiborne Pell. More soon.....

I can concentrate all my efforts on tracking down Gerry Rafferty now. I too had night time visions about David Hart recently - it was dark, dark stuff; Arthur Scargill had sort of morphed in to Hannibal Lecter and was roasting your hero on a spit, using the contents of Hart's wallett to keep the fire going and feeding bits of him to Dave Nellist, Derek Hatton and Dennis Skinner. Someone (possibly the late Eric Heffer) was videoing events, so that the tape could be sent to Thatcher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he isn't a unique pick then. I don't think you can use your sub if you pick someone who is already dead? So if he is deceased, then you're starting on 19 with me. But he isn't, so no need to worry. I think he might well find the net for us in 2009. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was a key figure in the defeat of the Miners (or was it all in his own head?) Hart is one of the few choices in my team out of malice, as well as thinking he's going to cop it...So Basil stays on the subs bench! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
