Most of those look more like wish lists than death threats.

Smart work Skulls aye-aye

by skully Sat 07 May 2011, 12:57

Actually it was slack as. I commented on Seve's passing hours ago and neglected my duties in this thread. Embarassed

And the moral of the above list is that picking sick old geezers and getting your noms in early doesn't this contest win.

by PeterCS Sat 07 May 2011, 13:03

So let's raise a glass to Gough and Margaret Whitlam, and Sir Bob of Hawke on their rude health.

I am surprised nobody "went for" Paul Keating.

by Allan D Sat 07 May 2011, 14:38

Looking at the lists above the "sick geezers" appear to be:

1) Ariel Sharon whom I had last year and whom Demelza has this but who should really be disqualified as being neither alive nor dead. He puts me in mind of Dorothy Parker's famous remark when Calvin Coolidge died - "How can they tell".

2) Z-Z G who seems to be being gradually peeled away in a geriatric version of the film Boxing Helena so it may be a moot point to consider whether there is enough left to shuffle off this mortal coil, as the Warwickshire bard said.

3) Christopher Hitchens, who like Sevvy, is also a cancer case although his mental faculties are unimpaired and he continues to publish his views on current world events, including the topping of OBL, if the web is anything to go by.

All 3 of us have one strike to our name so if mortality is preceded by illness, rather than accident, deliberate intent or senescence, one of us should become the first to add two strikes to their account. Difficult to say which although the youngest could come first and the Hitchens family may be the next to receive sad tidings.

Lionel Rose has been counted out by the ref and is now sparring in the great boxing ring in the sky.

by Fred Nerk Sun 08 May 2011, 11:01

You'd have got pretty good odds on Lionel getting anywhere near 60 back when he was 45 - too much grog, too many old boxing injuries, marriage over. He did well to rebuild his life, he and Mrs R re-married - but the good times were all too short.

RIP Lionel - a fighter to the end.

by skully Sun 08 May 2011, 11:46

Wow. RIP Lionel. I remember well as a wee tacker when my old man was so excited that he'd become World Champ. What was that - 1968???

by JGK Sun 08 May 2011, 13:41

Sad to hear about Rose. A pioneer in many respects for his sport and his race.

And on a day that anther Aussie becomes world champion as well.

Oops, sorry. I don't remember how to post a link!

Press the button 9th from the right. 2 drop boxes come down. Put the url address in the top box. Write some words of your own in the bottom box et voila:

Sun Goes Down on John Walker

Colour is optional. Image link box is immediately to the left of the text link button. It's a good idea to press the preview button before posting. You can click on the link to check that it works. A new window will open and you will not lose your posted message. Most common error is for a space to appear between "url=" and the rest of the address after you have pasted it in which case the whole link will still appear in your message as I have just found. Once this is resolved everything should (!) be fine.

Apologies - image link box is 9th from the right at the top after you've pressed "Preview" or "Quote" button. 5th from the right normally,.

Remember years ago when Randy Newman had that song with the line
"Dead people got no reason to live"
They don't write songs like that anymore.
