:) some good laughs at your descriptions there
I personally think the grim reaper's going to clear up some loose ends for the old school UK variety stars this year

Ken Dodd - going the way of his dad's dog, finally

Bruce Forseyth - going on the job much like Tommy Cooper, in front of an audience of millions live on Strickly Come Dancing half way through the show trying to grope Tess Daly. They prop him up against the Judge's panel desk for the remainder of the show, his rictus grin and cold dead eyes staring out at the contestants as they samba and foxtrot strategically around his twisted corpse.

Ronnie Corbett and Jimmy Tarbuck - going together in some bizarre golfing accident

Jonathon Ross - one morning in front of the bathroom mirror, Ross has a rare moment of clarity as he catches eye contact with his reflection whilst shaving. The cold stark realisation of what he actually is dawns on him. Later in the day he electrocutes himself in the bath with one of his animatronic Japanese state-of-the-art "man toys".

Ronnie Barker - Autoerotic asphyxiation

The entire cast of Last of the Summer Wine - a bad batch of Werthers Orginals finishes off this sunday night elephants grave yard of old 70s sitcom stars

Thora Herd - again!. After initially passing away in 2003, Dora rises from the grave in a zombie virus outbreak in Spring 2011. She dies again at the hand of Alan Bennet (now an elite Government asigned zombie hunter in the new year) by shot gun bullet to the cerebral cortex. Later in the year Bob Monkhouse's reanimated corpse escapes to a tax haven near the Bahamas

Barry Cryer - stake through the heart

Gloria Hunniford - Nuked from orbit, only way to be sure

Not strictly the case!
There are such thing as 'rifled slugs' which can be fired from shotguns. They consist of a solid rifled lead projectile with an obturator (fing wot stops all the gasses wot propel it goin past it innit) fitted to the rear end. The rifling makes them spin and and makes them kinda accurate.
The Ithaca 10g equipped with aforementioned slugs has been described as a 'one man road block'. All I know is they put great big fuckoff dents in 1/2" steel plate from 75 yards.

excellent point expertly made!
pedantic question: is it a bullet?
(, Fri 17 Dec 2010, 14:32, closed)
yeah,
A solid lead projectile fired from a casing down a barrel is classed as a bullet in my opinion anyway.

ex RMP, owner of lots of weapons.


CP - 'kinda accurate'?? Really, I've only ever used them on a range and don't get me wrong when they hit the intended target then fuck they do some damage, it's hitting it that's the problem! (Depending on the range of course)
