Yea, Gazza's a Geordie. A Geordie sadly lacking in taste.

It might the anonymity of it but it seems that computer and communications technology has turned all of us into sick ****s. They say the 1970s was bad but the stuff that gets sent around these days is unbelievable. My nan sent me a picture of a donkey shagging a dwarf and she'd cc'd it to all the people in her address book. :blink:

How Long

- I take no pleasure in anyones death but suggest that if you find the thread in bad taste, you can choose not to read.

Did I mention anywhere about bad taste ? I just added my own list of 4 posters on here with over 53,000 posts between them., so I thought they were the celebrities of this forum.
So thats no insults, no deviating and I must only read the threads that don't upset me. Phew, there's so much to remember.

That reminds me of the 90's before companies locked down this kind of thing. My so-called "friends" were always sending pictures of women sucking off horses and such like to my work email. Not that anyone seemed to mind - browsing internet porn at work was acceptable back in those days. A bit like smoking in the office in the 70's.

I was sent a tetris game once. You had to match couples in coitus. It was the best game ever, and I played it at work at lunchtime and after work, in my defense. (I didn't have a home anything in those late 90's).

I only played it a few times before I deleted it, and I wish I knew what it was. It was the best game ever.

It's terrible, my nan's friend sent a picture of herself with a rolling pin stuck up her 'backside' and two dogs licking ice-cream off each of her t*ts. Its disgusting, I shudder to think what my mum is going send when she retires. :confused:

Usually the best long term tactic. It'll take a lot of 97 year olds to match a 73 year old joker. More's the pity.

I would have had a different list had I seen this beforehand. Will we ever get the chance to swap and change at some time to another, other than when you are LUCKY enough to pop one?

Of course. Actually it's interesting to look at the 2011 top 50 from that site. Only 7 croakers paid out and of those 4 were 93 or older.

I bet we (collectively) do better than that. :thumbup:

Given only 2 of mine were on that list and I have now picked 6, highly unlikely I saw the list:p

Only the bookies win in the end :lol:

Pictures a manager hauling off a perfectly fit player, and replacing him with a crock who's carried onto the pitch in a stretcher and dumped unceremoniously in the centre-circle...

That's because they sometimes get injured. All to the good in this game.
