Yoda Is Your Father

The link below leads to a list of shows in the UK based in American ones. Many of the shows are the exact same format, but have a new name (like Family Feud --> Family Fortunes):

Hmmm.. We seem to have alot more success adapting your television to our screens than you do adapting our TV for your screens...

The American version of Red Dwarf is absolute ball-bag.

Check out the fourth bed down.   Bloody Awesome.

YIYF shows up from time to time, but he's mainly moved on... I think. he left shortly after I showed up.

I lurk regularly, just don't post as much... but rest assured you're all being watched.

R.I.P. John Barry, for me Dances With Wolves was one of the greatest movie soundtracks of the nineties.

Couldn't agree more.  Brilliant soundtrack.

Jedi Temple34 is ignoring me.  Don't know why.

I'm being ignored by Jedi Temple34

No idea who that is.

Just started watching Firefly.  Already seen Serenity.

I could have sworn we crossed that bridge years ago!

Haha, I've been meaning to watch it for a long time.

So far I've only watched the unaired pilot and liked it a lot.

As always, Gaffer speaks sense and puts things far more eloquently than I.

Warb, I didn't intend to make you feel bad or villainise you.

Bowing out now.

I just don't see the point of the constant demand for proof.  

it is the only way we will learn the truth

Yoda Is Your Father said:

What is exposing Dayv (if he is indeed lying) going to add to your life? 

I don't know that it will add much, but at least I will know the truth.   I think everyone on here has the right to the truth, especially those that donated.  

Yoda Is Your Father said:

What would Yoda say? :)

I don't know, but I am sure he'd want Dayv exposed if he is lying.

I understand that you want the truth and feel entitled to it, but if Dayv chooses not to provide any further evidence then all you (or any of us) can do is believe whatever personal conclusion you arrive at.  Short of a straight up admission of guilt followed by an apology, I don't think you're going to get what you're looking for.

As for what Yoda would do... I think he would just chill in his hut, talking about anger leading to the dark side.

Anyway, sorry if I offended - didn't mean to.

Warbler said:

Well, I am not going to drop the subject.   I want the truth, one way or the other.  Its too important to drop.  

Yoda Is Your Father said:

Exactly.

If you believe him, cool.

If not, that's cool too - drop the subject, move on.

I'm bothered by the idea that only those that believe him should able to still talk about this, while those that don't believe him should just get out. 

Sorry, I didn't mean that.  Obviously anybody is free to say what they want.

I just don't see the point of the constant demand for proof.  

The only benefit that can come from Dayv posting concrete proof is more donations, so I hope he does supply that proof, but for that reason alone.  

What is exposing Dayv (if he is indeed lying) going to add to your life?

What would Yoda say? :)

Posts of that kind, while I understand where they are coming from are pretty pointless.

If someone strongly disbelieves that David has cancer they will not donate, end of story.

On trust those who have donated and not asked for a refund believe Dave's story on trust.

Those who develop strong doubts will ask for a refund (and if they don't get one that's a separate if not related issue).

Unless Dave tells us otherwise or compelling evidence to the contrary is given those who trust Dave on this issue will continue to do so.

Which means for them David has cancer and needs funds quickly.

David needs compelling documentation not to prove his innocence or guilt but to successfully raise the money he needs, not just from readers here but from other organisations as well.

The main focus for David is to get better.

To do that he needs money.

To get the money he needs swiftly enough to be effective he needs appropriate documentation.

Exactly.

If you believe him, cool.

If not, that's cool too - drop the subject, move on.

I may not post here much these days due to lack of spare time but I still lurk quite a bit, and I am SO glad there are still people like Gaffer and Jay keeping this place sane.

Warbler said:

it has?    I don't consider possibly being scammed, fun.

Has this been confirmed yet?

Wow, the fun never stops at OT.com

A few years ago when I was in a bad way, Dayv was a good friend to me.  When I heard the news of his illness I didn't know what to do or say.

I was waiting till I got paid to donate.  I got paid today and came on here to double check the paypal details.  Then I read all these allegations of fraud and what-not.

Not really sure what to make of it all, but like I said, Dayv was there for me, so I hope he doesn't have cancer.  If he doesn't, he's obviously going through a bad time so I wish him all the best and hope he's ok.

And if he does have cancer, that sucks, and I will donate as soon as he starts accepting payments again.

I inherited some from my grandad, who himself got them from his dad.  I've got one from 1930 Germany with a nazi eagle on it, pretty cool, and a few from the 1800s.  All coins though, no notes.

Hello all,

It's been a while since I posted (I'm always lurking though, so watch what you say!) but I was talking to a friend on the weekend and he told me something that blew my mind - he lives next door to 'Ewan McGregor's uncle who's also an actor'.

My friend lives next door to Wedge Antilles!

You sure it's Denis Lawson and not some other uncle of Ewan McGregor who's also an actor?

 Definitely Lawson.  I googled him and siad 'This Guy?', he confirmed.

He lives in Camden Town, North London - not unusual to see celebs round those parts.

Last movie seen: Iron Man 2.  Good but not as good as the first.

Before that: Hot Tub Time Machine - surprisingly brilliant.

Is that so?  Just two more episodes (one of them super-long)?

Hello!

I like this thread - I know most of the people in it!

In my humble opinion, Lost has officially jumped the shark.   They have 3.5 hours left to make it right.

Not going to spoil the plot but the first episode of the new look series was fun but spoiled by some 1990's style CGI and the worst rendition of the theme tune since the Sylvester McCoy era (only the hideous Delaware version trumps it and they ditched that after one episode).

Haha, the "McCoy" era was the end of the "classic series" unless you count the movie. The new theme isn't great, but it's better than McCoy's theme! The new theme sucks, the new logo sucks, the new tardis sucks, the new companion sucks and the new doctor sucks. I disagree about the CGI though - it should be MORE cheesy after all that's what Dr Who is all about! They should make an episode "the four doctors" out of the four doctors since the end of the classic era.

 I like the new assistant.
