harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted January 30, 2009 It seems to me that Twelvetrees and Harry Mcsally are really making a scene out of something which has little "if any" relative importance. Oh, and by the way, isn't this the Dead Thread? I preferably enjoy to see obituaries instead of a outrageously boring debate about words and how they are properly spelled. Come on gentleman, let's not make this a show and tell. If you want to put on a little debate there is a "Drunk\Bored" thread which exists for this purpose... Thanks for the enlightenment Banshees. I thought you were on a sabbatical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twelvetrees 10 Posted January 31, 2009 It seems to me that Twelvetrees and Harry Mcsally are really making a scene out of something which has little "if any" relative importance.

Come on gentleman, let's not make this a show and tell. If you want to put on a little debate there is a "Drunk\Bored" thread which exists for this purpose... Thanks for the enlightenment Banshees. I thought you were on a sabbatical. I quite agree. Let us gang up on the arriviste and make them feel unwelcome - after all, s/he did use a split infinitive. Politely, HMcSetc., do you really have so much time that you can identify two typos in my posts? Kudos, my friend - I shall be more careful in the future. If BS is really on leave (for which I read extensive psychiatric treatment - again), someone has to take his place. Please let it not be me. Anyways, for the purposes of relevance, this site, if it has not been reported yet, records the deaths of such undoubted luminaries as Sir Donald Luddington and Guy Hunt, and may be of inestimable use for death hunters everywhere.

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted January 31, 2009 Boxing great Ingemar Johansson has died aged 76. Another hit for Octopus and 2 others on the DDP. Good-oo. Another death that I am surprised so few other teams picked. Once Arundell goes I will be in a strong position. I know I'm not supposed to win it but hell, I'm as competitive as anyone Must say, it's been an interesting DDP month (and a record - 22 hits compared to 21 last year). Few of the bankers (Atkins et al) have gone, and those that have gone have been perhaps those on the periphery of being chosen by many teams. Site to be updated Monday when I'm back.

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted January 31, 2009 BBC obit for Johansson. Congratulations to the three teams for picking him on the DDP. And OoO in particular for climing to a four figure Deathrace score as a result. Re Johansson's help of Patterson, a real irony is that Patterson's mind started to go long before he died and once - on oath at a hearing - he couldn'r recall who he'd beaten to win the world title. At the same time, the same man was helping him financially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted February 5, 2009 Lux Interior lead vocalist for The Cramps has died at the age of 60 ;) :( Did he die of cramp? That's a shock, I must say... Pre-existing heart condition was the cause of death. I don't think any death has hit me this badly since Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone died. Some reports are saying that Lux was 60 and others are saying that he was 62. Possibly soon we'll find out his actual age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted February 6, 2009 After all, the most exciting news story in Aylesbury for aeons has been the man who lived in a house of rubbish - it even made The Sun - gazooks! The top story in the Fraserburgh Hearld this week: Marconi Road to be renanmed despite protests. By 'protests' they mean a couple readers wrote to the paper moaning about it. The secondary story was about a local man under the headline 'Is this Britain's unluckiest man?'. He was nearly killed last week when a slate slid from a roof and went through his car sun-roof whilst he was in the vehicle. He said it was his 9th brush with death. In the past Mr. Watt has gone through a main electricity cable with a spade whilst gardening, almost shot himself in the head, was almost swept away by a river, and on one occassion ran himself over with his own car. Was quite amusing. The joys of the Fraserburgh Herald... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
