Did I post to the original thread? I can't be arsed to google or look.

If I did

If I didn't

<waves anyway>

Btw. Didn't Duncan Lamb run into a multi-car pile-up that spanned 3
lanes of a motorway. Bit careless of him not to notice it, or was he
driving/riding inappropriately for the conditions? ITWSBT.

 

While his death may be a sad loss to his family and friends, to me
it's just another road death of someone I never met, somewhere I may
never go.

Why expect total strangers to evince the kind of media-hyped mass
hysteria generated by the death of a hostage in Iraq?

Does Boris Johnson ride a motorbike?

I didn't google, I looked at my outgoing archive.

I think the jury decided both. Somebody despicable will know about it I
am sure.

I killed the original thread after a couple of hours, it bored me. I'm
of the same mind as CDC about these things. I didn't know the bloke or
his family, I doubt I've even ridden/driven the road he was on, so why
should IGAF?

 

afriend bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the
lines of:

Wot? He's dead. Arrrrrrrrggggghhhh

<fx: bursts into tears>

I think this is the question that afreind has not asked himself.
Probably his grief masking his cognitive processes. It does that you
know. It is that sort of thing that is said to make widowers easy meat
innit? Catch them while they are grieving and all that. It works, I can
tell you that from personal experience.

A **** is a ****, but it's always a slightly more satisfying **** if
they're crying.

 

We've all lost friends. It isn't a nice thing to happen, nor is it a
pleasant time for anybody concerned. But that's life - in the midst
of, I mean.
Ah, so not that close a friend, then.
You did what? He was your friend - and the first port of call for
your concern is a google search? I'm taken aback, frankly.

Naah. Be honest. You didn't know him very well, and certainly don't
know his friends and family at all well, as you have demonstrated by
Asking Jeeves how he died. That is no less "disrepectful" than the
entirely irrelevant argument that went on in this thread.

As for "total shock" - well, you don't know what that is either.

No, mate. He's Hislopped.

You great soft shite. You bloody spics are all the same - let your
emotions run amok at the drop of a black veil.

 

<Gollum>

You don't have any friends!

</Gollum>

 

Is that one of those rhetorical questions like
"Is Bear a catholic?" or "Does the Pope shit in the woods?"

 

Ooops. Bollox. I was thinking of my hamster. I forgot his name was Ted.
He's dead too, y'know.

 

I've had that.

It's a newsgroup, you dick.

It's ukrm. We do that.

You've been stalking me?

Oh ****, I didn't realise. Dead, you say? Shit, what a pisser. I really
am so fucking sorry, honest to ****. I grovel, I abase myself. You have no
conception of how fucking sorry I am, sonny.

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "afriend"

<preens>

Hi, Darwin. Back for more?

You do seem to be a glutton for punishment.

Dead.

I'm still most impressed that when you type Mat Taberner into google it
responds with *dozens* of hits for quotation pages, all of which
contain:
