Godot 149 Posted May 12, 2011 I'm game. It almost makes you long for iain/dave, BC Alum, JR976evil, Kaylia K, Banshees ... ... Harry it's cruel and unwarranted to mock a poster who is only trying his best. Without these swimmers in the sea of mediocrity that has drowned all but the most resilient in these parts, the Deathlist might have foundered on the rocks of ambivalence. Yet it runs on rudderless but for the guiding hand of the occasional committed Admin (Hein, HCW) and flickers into life when any of its chosen gasp their last breath. Funny that: that it needs a good death to inject a bit of life here. I suppose that drone-kicking is mildly entertaining but rather like the hoodies in Hot Fuzz, they're such easy targets. Not notaguest of course whose posts are fair dripping with subtlety and dry wit and reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted May 12, 2011 I concur with my colleague Godot, who has managed more wit, decency and gravitas in one post than both sides of the AV debate poured into their collective campaigns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think this one was intended to be private. Also - given that I contributed nothing towards his ban, I thought I'd pass this on to those who are more responsible.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted May 13, 2011 I don't think this one was intended to be private.Also - given that I contributed nothing towards his ban, I thought I'd pass this on to those who are more responsible. In this case I don't mind much, as I received a PM with similar content, but I do not like PMs being discussed or quoted in the forum. From now on I'll bin such posts on sight. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,602 Posted June 2, 2011 From the João Havelange thread: He'll be dead by 2014.I can't be any more precise about timing though From the Nelson Mandela thread: Virtually all of Mandelas old friends and colleagues from the anti apartheid days are gone now.I have a feeling he will be joining them soon though From the Zsa Zsa Gabor thread: If we're taking bets on it I'd give her 3 years max edit-sorry,thought this was the Thatcher thread for some reason.I'd hope Gabor has a lot less than 3 years So, in summary, that's a 95 year-old dying within three years, a 92 year-old dying 'soon', an 85 year-old in poor health dying within 3 years and a 94 year-old with numerous well-documented health problems dying within 'a lot less than 3 years'.
