I'll set up my own little website, call it cowboyronnieuknews.co.uk, and it will consist of exactly one item - an obit on the living room fly. Interestingly, this will make said fly more famous than approximately 40% of the people selected on various DDP teams. I love satire me... I suppose Josie will make up for all the old codger's miniscule points... BTW folks, I've got the email re entry 07, have you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 119 Posted December 15, 2006 I have some pretty broad minded hard-headed mates. I mentioned it to them and they thought I was a nutter. Mind, they did before.

You gave us to understand that you had no mates at all, Mr. Godot. (present company excepted) What's this all about? Real mates as opposed to virtual mates. Arm wrestling mates, drinking mates, the sort of mates who strip you naked and leave you tied to a lampost on your stag do. Mates who clean you out at poker and leave you to pick up the tab in the curry house. You know, real mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rude Kid 3 Posted December 16, 2006 Since Mr Godot emailed and asked me to comment on whether a certain Ms J. Grove will be allowed to be picked in the DDP, I thought I'd pop in and say...yes. She's 16, in most respects the law now recognises her as an adult, and she comes across as being very mature for her age, so let's not get all precious about her being a child when she clearly isn't. Besides, when we took a vote recently, about half of those who replied felt that children of any age should be allowed to be picked anyway. (Oddly, almost all of the female respondees said kids were fair game...I thought you lot were supposed to be all caring and maternal? ) That said, I won't be picking her myself because choosing people who are so terminally ill that you can practically name their date of death is no fun. Maybe next year we'll introduce a rule that people have to be famous for something other than just being ill, but for now, she stays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you read the Ruth Bernhard e-mail, they'll be sending confirmation off en-masse in the next few days. I know mine has gone in as when I emailed them about removing Wilma Dykeman, they knew who my reserve was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
