Banshees Scream 110 Posted March 30, 2009 Sulim Yamadayev, an unique pick for No Noose Is Good Noose on the DDP, has died, aged c. 36. Yamadayev was shot in an attack in Dubai, of all places. There aren't any words to describe such a surprise. And if he doesn't get the recognition there won't be any words to describe that either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of a miss really... Shame on me, I should have thought about that one. He was the president, by the way, not the prime minister. He was the first democtratic president since the military junta.

Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles, I suppose. May be the DDP should run a "look what you could have won..." competition too, just for fun of course!

Windsor 2,233 Posted April 8, 2009 Fraserburgh Highstreet has died. I only ever went down town to go to Woolies or John Trails. Woolies shut down in January, and now Trails has burned to the ground. The town centre is now dead. We have about 4 second hand shops, a Superdrug (Jokes withstanding), and a few newsagents. That's about it. The only thing left - on the outskirts of the town - is a Tescos. It is the only place in town where you can now buy a decent DVD. It is now the only place in town (bar perhaps Argos (which is next door)) where you can buy a toy. For God sake, you can't even buy pens, paper or ringbinders in the town centre anymore. The credit crunch really won't affect Fraserburgh - there is nowhere left to spend our money... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mean to intrude into your personal life, but you should PM me this woman's name. I might know her (or of her). (And if I do, it will have nothing to do with the two-for-one blowjob deal).

VSBfromH 74 Posted April 9, 2009 Tam Paton "THE TROUBLED former manager of 70s pop sensation the Bay City Rollers has died at his home in Edinburgh. Paton was said to have raked in millions from Rollers' chart success in the 1970s. But in recent years he was convicted of dealing dope after police recovered £26,000 worth of cannabis from his high security mansion at Little Kellerstain, Gogar in Edinburgh's west end. He was fined £20,000 and also had £180,000 seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Paton was also arrested but not charged as part of the investigation into Jonathan King's sex crimes."

'Good riddance to the cnut,' L McKeown On a serious note, I predict this will make no difference at all to the ongoing fight of the Rollers to get their hands on any of that fortune.
