Banshees Scream 110 Posted May 20, 2006 Aye, but you were on top form the other night, no question. Talk about top form... Maryportfuncity has been Deathlists savior. Always posting the sh*t you post which most of it is done with much effort and quality. You have been there in Deathlists time of need and that we should all respect. Times have changed but you must smile at the new faces entering our beloved forums. They may never amount to the likes of Windsor, Tempus Fugit and myself but they may be real regulars in the future. I think Deathlist isn't falling apart but more the less - Has alot more to give. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that I for one have come here to see where my contributes can aid and assist this lovely forum. Now, can we all return to discussing the aforementioned Mr. Bouteflika and his health? The news seems silent as to his being this sunny morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,682 Posted October 12, 2006 AB's coming under some international pressure as a result of the growing use of bureaucratic ruses to stop journalists digging too deep inside Algeria. Stuff obviously needs hiding. I doubt much of this concerns his longevity, but we can hope, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Crossed 33 Posted October 13, 2006 AB's coming under some international pressure ... stop journalists digging too deep inside Algeria. Stuff obviously needs hiding. Yes. My source inside the IAEA tells me that Algerian physicists are working on a new kebab recipe that could potentially de-stabilise the entire european take-away industry. ... the magnitude of notoriety recently achieved by Iran and North Korea through their nuclear programmes could be dwarfed by a cunning blend of pitta bread, minced lamb, salad and sauce.It is assumed that the pitta bread components will not be exported from Algeria due to the risk of shipments coming under attack from, or being stolen by, agents of the Axis of Weevil. sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,365 Posted November 15, 2006 Health Update Abdelaziz Bouteflika has angrily denounced speculation about his health, saying that he had been very sick but has emerged in "an absolutely marvelous way." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted November 16, 2006 Zizzy and I dined last night and he seemed fit as a fiddler crab...no wait that's wrong...we dined on fiddler crab while Uncle Wilfie played a cello.

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted December 11, 2006 Late breaking news Zizzy sent me a message regarding his feelings of world peace and also the following statements from a recent news article. Algiers - Algerian newspapers on Wednesday welcomed President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's candid admission of a recent illness and said it had removed an element of uncertainty hanging over the oil-exporting country's political scene. Bouteflika, 69, shed months of official reticence about the sensitive topic when he told reporters on Tuesday he had recently been very ill but made an "absolutely fabulous" recovery. They shouldn't sensationalise the matter, he added. "You're making a meal out of something that doesn't exist," he said in answer to a question. "I'm a man like absolutely everyone else. It's quite clear that if I had health problems I would have to go back home for good. As for upcoming events Zizzy is expected to be welcoming Soccor playe Zinedine Zindane in the not to distant future. The invite has been issued and accepted.

DevonDeathTrip 2,365 Posted April 28, 2007 Abdelaziz Bouteflika is ill again. "No details regarding the 69-year-old president's illness were given. There has been much speculation regarding Bouteflika's health because of his failure to appear at several public functions in recent months." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,215 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) To save Adrianwhatsit searching, here is the Zizzy Bouteflika thread. A constructive use of the search function so oft ignored. Apparently Zizzy has had a stroke. He'll live. Not for ever of course but he'll see the end of this month for sure.

Guest Sir Creep Posted December 27, 2014 http://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2014/12/147084/algerian-president-urgently-hospitalized-in-paris/ Algerian President sounding frail, doing the good old Castro-like 'public appearance' to show he's not dead yet, which of course Castro doesn't feign any more (in certain we will find out Castro died in 2006 or so).

Sir Creep 7,071 Posted March 9, 2015 Alive and well, doing all the things a President does. Today he had a bunch of Algerian women visiting for Int'l Women's Day. Two days before he entertained the Emir of Kuwait. His two trips to France for medical reasons 5 weeks apart late last year sure fooled me. I've no reason now to believe he won't see 2016.
