Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jono]

It was Chris Moyles in the lounge with a spatula! Are we playing Cluedo? Ahh! Scott's on myspace. Do they have that in heaven?

[Ema]

They have everything in heaven! :-p I reckon it was Santa Claus.

[Behelzebub]

Good god... how exactly did we manage to turn this into a 3-page topic??

Scott. Is. Not. Dead. End of.

[Jono]

Any thing is possible. Look at Mike Baldwin.

[John]

Mike Baldwin's dead??? :-o

Well at least Fred Elliott's fit and well

[Jono]

Yeah, Fred Elliot's hanging out with Nana Moon last time I heard. Presumably down the bingo clubs. All is good.

[Grace]

God it was sad when Nana Moon died.

[Jono]

God it was sad when Nana Moon died.

Died? What? Where was I?

[Grace]

Oh no Jono! Pretend I didn't say a word, she's alive and well..

[Lucinda]

I blame B3ta.com.

WIKI-DEATH

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear

A few weeks ago we mentioned the game of changing famous people's Wikipedia entries and seeing how long they ask.

We feel a little guilty about this, as Wikipedia is really great, but sod it, we asked you to do it anyway.

[John]

I quite like that game

[Jono]

Well that rules out it being Mystic Meg getting her revenge...

I quite like that game

What the game where people give Scott bleach in a lemonade bottle, or the Wiki-death game?!

[John]

The Wikipedia game, although they could use the other idea on the show...

Meal or No Meal with bleach

[Jono]

Poison or Pop. It'll never catch on...

[Ad]

Yep, its b3ta that are to blame!

* "Michael Winner has now been dead for nearly

48 hours. Do I win �5??"

* "Managed to kill off Justin Lee Collins for

6 hours and 24 minutes on Monday, from 12.43

till 19.07. If only it had been permanent!"

* "Hey hey hey, I killed Pat Sharp! It's now

nearly 24 hours later and he's still dead - do

I win?"

* "Will Young - 21 mins, Jade Goody - Still

dead even after subsequent edits, Paul Burrell

- Still dead, Peter Andr� - Still dead, Jordan

(Katie Price) - Still dead Tom Cruise - 1 min

(*******s). "

* And finally, it looks like it reached the

papers, nina_buchan writes, "I was guzzling

tea and leafing through today's (16/01/07)

copy of Metro in the work canteen when

something caught my eye. Lo, a small article

about a distraught Marti Pellow (of Wet Wet

Wet 'fame') fan who had looked up said star on

Wikipedia and discovered to her

knicker-wetting horror that he died last

Friday. Only he didn't really. Can't think how

that happened."

[Kelly]

That looks like a very good game! I wish I'd thought of it first!

[theeveningsaviour]

I was the one whole edited it orginally. He Was born at 1:10pm. And I did base my edits on the biog page but i wrote it in my own words. I am sorry for trying gees

[Jono]

I just found it odd the same quotes were used from the same interviews, and in a very similar style. The whole point of me writing these biographeis here was to add a bit more to the internet, and be different to other biographies. Oh well, I'll take it as a compliment.

[iain_smith]

I should point out that wikipedia have also reported the frequent death of Margaret Thatcher and several other notable people.In fact Thatchers been resurrected abut half a dozen times now I reckon...

[Jono]

I still can't believe they've got away with saying Fred Elliot is dead on Wikipedia... those tricksters!

[theeveningsaviour]

Everyone can be dead on Wikipedia... at anytime... its that damn easy... even though most times its there for 20 seconds or less

[kitty]

Did Scott not once do a feature on the show where they edited other peoples wikipedias, and all the ones for Radio 1 DJs got suspended? It's probably justa belated revenge thang...

[Adzha]

I'm glad its a lot of crap but it just shows you can't trust the public. Probably half my GCSEs are screwed up because of false information put on wikipedia.

[tafkas]

sorry - first post here - just reading through and found the link to wikepedia - just discovered Scott is gay!?!?!?!? i thought he talked funny....

[Jono]

You write funny, are you gay?
