The Thread about Nothing....

[roshea]

Hm, testing. Like for reals?

 

[jhuskey]

Seems to be working now.

Test test. One TWO. One TWO.

The ones I posted yesterday disappeared.

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve, where are you?

 

[paulambry]

This is a pretty amazing story...

Well I haven't even been able to sign in for ages. Happy New Year you thoroughly disreputable lot.

On a sad note I am coming to Sydney on Monday for my best mate's funeral on Tuesday. 68 years old and had a massive aneurysm just after breakfast on this past Monday. His missus found him on the floor when she got home from work.

 

[matagi]

Are we back for reals?

I have been having an identity crisis these past few weeks having randomly been Wilchemy, Roshea and Classic1

Happy New Year blokes. Sorry to hear about your mate 'Vette - the only consolation is that it would have instantaneous.

Did I imagine it, or did somebody start a 2018 Dead Pool?

Hey Vette - sorry to hear about your mate. Must have been ghastly for his beloved to come home that day. Awful.

 

[62vette]

Thanks Paulie and Ma. It's been a bit melancholy this week.

Missus chook knew something was amiss the moment she walked in the door as the bed was unmade which the old rooster always tidied up every morning. She said he was in socks, undies, shirt and no trousers. As Ma said, it would have been instantaneous and he was just going about his day with no warning anything was amiss.

 

[62vette]

Paulie, you're going to have to re-select your number one dead pool pick, I beat you to the draw there.

BTW Paul, Adam West died last year - so you will have to go again I'm afraid.

 

[classic1]

You lot are using my 'pick 100 year olds' tactic. Using the 'pick someone who is already dead' tactic is going to far!

 

[paulambry]

It was worth a try. Didn't expect you would be paying such close attention.
