I thought he was still in prison.
I'd say that sucks, if I'd only seen the first few seasons of Viva La Bam, but when he went missing I looked into it and... yeah, whatever. Good riddance.
Jonah Lomu, apparently.
Jonah Lomu dies aged 40, according to reports

Beat me to it. Don't give a shit about Rugby but I had a friend who would spend hours telling me all about him and recreating his moves, most of them ending up with me getting shoulder barged to the floor. Good times.
He would always make me play this as well but would refuse to explain what the rules of Rugby were, smash you 40-0 and then call you shit. I loved my childhood.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OruaZcvGno4
This is gutting. The greatest athlete I've ever seen, in any sport. :(
There were serious George North comparisons being made during the last Lions tour. Lads...
Jonah Lomu on his worst day was a more devastating player than anyone currently in the game. :moop:
40 is pretty young. Does rugby fuck people up just as much as American football does?
He had bad kidneys, he had transplant 10yrs ago, and had been on dialysis since.
Not sure if that's the cause of death - but he has been fairly ill.
You'd assume it was kidney related. I'm actually surprised to find that he was only 40.
Yeah, I had just assumed he was late 40's for some reason.
It's a shame he had such a short career because of his illness. We will never see suck a destructive player again.
He never scored a try against South Africa :cool:
The New Zealand team are going to commemorate his death but wearing all black in their next match.
Charlie Sheen have you the virus, didn't he?
An impending one.

Scott Weiland died on tour. I'm surprised he made it almost to 50.
Not really a celebrity, but known to many here.

:(
Bunny's pal, noooooo. Wasn't he the real Omar or something like that too?
Avon.
The real Omar was in it too but he died a while ago.
Sunderland fans rejoice. Jimmy Hill is dead :(
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...zheimer-s.html
I've heard it referenced before, but what's the Sunderland thing?
He delayed the kickoff of the relegation decider when he was chairman of Coventry, then showed the Sunderland score (they lost) on the scoreboard when there was 10 minutes left in the Coventry game. The Coventry players then knew they only had to draw to stay up, so they just kicked the ball around aimlessly for 10 minutes.
Sunderland blame Jimmy Hill for going down, when in reality, they could've just fucking won the game.
:D idiots.
I like him even more now.
The beauty was that we were playing Bristol City who also just needed a point, so it worked out perfectly for everybody.
Why did the Scottish (or at least the 'Tartan Army') dislike him again?
Norman Wisdom. :(
He's been dead ages.
Some cunt on my Facebook page shared the article and it appeared as BREAKING NEWS.
Still, didn't know he was dead. :(
Pavel Srnicek is possibly on his way out.
According to his agent he's in a medically induced coma til Wednesday. Heart stopped for 20 minutes whilst jogging.
Lemmy :(
Lemmy. :(
The lumps on his face used to scare me as a child.
He only found out he had cancer 3 days ago. That's really shit.
Hawkwind's one good song > Motorhead's one good song
He only found out he had cancer three days ago and listening to lemmy for longer than three minutes could tell you otherwise.
Legend. Didn't he have cancer before too?
I'll remember him for butchering HHH's entrance song.
Saw some people mentioning him on Instagram the other day an I thought he was dead then. Think it was his birthday though.
I first read that as 'Limmy', and was looking forward to Nicola Sturgeon having her very own Diana monent.
Lemmy :(
Few days before his death:
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/...1395963728.jpg
He looks like he's already dead. Must have been in a world of pain if he wasn't on Morphine or something by that point.
I was a little surprised he wasn't already dead. He's had that Keith Richards thing of looking about ninety five since he was about thirty going on, so he's looked half an hour away from dying from the very first time I seen him.
Guru Josh has died, apparently.
I see Srnicek has died. I actually hadn't realised he didn't die last week.
How can you only discover an 'aggressive' form of cancer only two days prior to death?
I'm guessing he knew something was wrong but refused to go to the doctors.
He looks properly drained in that photo, even for him.
Pavel Srnicek has left the stadium.
Anyone else see Pavel Srnicek has died?
Corey Graves of WWE posted this yesterday on Twitter, and when I saw the picture, I thought Lemmy looked like an ill man. Not sure when it was taken:
Pav as well :(
Sometimes it goes undiagnosed. One of my former work colleagues had an ill father for months and he was being tested for everything. They were convinced it was to do with his diet and was some sort of Crohn's like disease or Celiac. On the day of his death they told him it was colon cancer.
Specials drummer has died.
Man, Pav's passing has got me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2CIiES_xxk
Cause of death unclear. That means drugs.
Lemmy. :(
Though only getting the diagnosis two days before doing one, that's got to be the perfect way to go, right?
Steve Gohouri.

David Bowie
Holy fucking shit?!
Bit stunned by this one, didn't know he had cancer. 71 is a decent age though. Just very sad. What a legacy he leaves behind.
Except he's 69.
Alan Rickman apparently. :( Not a great start to 2016.
RIP Gruber.
The 69 club has another member.
Fucking hell :(
How'd he die? Fall multiple storeys from the Nakatomi Plaza?
People are already incorrectly saying he died at Christmas.
Wait what? He looked healthy no?
I've a feeling my girlfriend will be more upset by that than if it were me.
Cancer apparently.
:(
Damn :(
Has surprise cancer taken the place of the terrifying 'a short illness'?
That actually sucks :(.
I heard he was shot in the head by a snaper.
That sucks. Alan Rickman was better than all of you. :(
"Chute da glarse"
Hopefully Die Hard will make an appearance soon.
Nevermind. We still have Jeremy Irons.
In a strong field, that's the least funny post you've ever made.
I did have a lol at someone yesterday saying that the one positive to be taken from 'The 69 Club's aggressive recruitment policy' was that Donald Trump was currently sixty nine.
Was the 69 club previously a thing, or did Bowie start it?
69 seems a relatively likely age to die if you ask me. Just a few years from 'decent innings' territory.
I'd have it down as an age that's ripe for the grim reaper to pay a visit to those who haven't led a particularly healthy life up to that point (as well as some unlucky bastards).
I wouldn't be happy with 69 if offered now.
I certainly fucking wouldn't, I'd have lived over 50% of my life already if that's the case.
69 is probably good going for a someone who would have lived through the brunt of the 60s/70s/80s. I'm not sure that era of celebrity is going to make for too many old bones.
Modern excess really pales in comparison.
Lumping? Pun or coincidence?
Lemmy rephrase that.
For reference, other celebrities who are 69:
Sylvester Stallone
Steven Spielberg
Cher
Bill Clinton
Sally Field
Diane Keaton
Donald Trump
Barry Gibb
George W. Bush
David Lynch
Timothy Dalton
Benny Andersson
Susan Sarandon
Tommy Lee Jones
Tim Curry
Oliver Stone
Jose Carreras
Stay safe, kids.
'The other guy.'
Speaking of dead celebrities, never before has there been a chance to run a car into a canal and do the world such a favour in one hit.

True for that prat Corden but she did a pretty good job on Nicki Minaj's "Monster" verse.

One of my better lookalikes. RIP brother.
RIP Wogan. Dreaded short illness strikes again.
It has not been a good month at all.
Cancer is going to get all of us, isn't it?
Definitely RL, but not me due to organic commitments.
Ah man, I used to like him when he did Eurovision. That's a shitter.
A right shitter.
Came across as a top bloke and seemingly one of the few working on tv/radio in the 70s who didn't have his cock in a child.
Gutted about Wogan.
Never really liked him as he went full Brit, but he had a really great wit. Warmed to him more in later years.
That has to be confirmation that you don't like anyone.
He was quality. Fucking short illness.
Only just remembered I got in a lift with him the same day I stole a mini chicken pie from David Dein. Best day of my life ffs.
He even played along to some other twat in the lift doing a crap impression of Chris Moyles.
Was he ever embroiled in SCANDAL! or just good enough at covering it up?
If it turns out Wogan was a nonce we might as well give up on society.
What would be the worst one, Attenborough? I think at that stage we may as well scuttle the entire island and move to France.
If John Motson turned out to be a kiddy fiddler I'd never watch football again.
Really? I wouldn't be shocked if he was getting lifts home with David Pleat. Lynam on the other hand...

I wonder if this kind of thing is why people keep announcing Tony Hart's death twice every year?
Tony Hart is dead? :(
What a shitty start to 2016 this has been.
Hart's death count must be in double digits by now.
He had a hart attack.
Dave Mirra has committed suicide :(
On reflection, that's a sad story.
Maurice White.
http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35499149
Maurice White now.
There must be more elements to his demise than is being reported.
Some band called Viola Beach were all killed in a vehicle accident yesterday. I've no idea but I've seen enough references to know they were popular enough.
I'd never heard of them but then I don't really listen to or watch anything to access new music.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali :D
I'm sure everyone of our age only knows him because of the fast show.
Someone check Chris Waddle's alright.
Captain Lassard from Police academy
Harper Lee.
Not dead yet, but Paul Daniels has an incurable brain tumour. Won't be long.
Frank Kelly seemingly. Coincidence seeing as it's the same date as Dermot Morgan.
George Kennedy. Probably known by most for the Naked Gun films.
Not a good couple of months for celebrities.
A few who I've come across in the media recently that have surprised me as still alive are Hawking and Ali. Don't want to go all Dr. Doom, but their time must be pretty close now. They've well exceeded my expectations.
Keith Emerson. :(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiREVBA5Q2Q
The Keyboard Hendrix. :cool:
Woah, he shot himself. That isn't very progressive rock.
Some condition he has meant he couldn't play properly any more. To think Phil Collins just retired instead.

Cancer is a cunt.
Christ, never even knew he was ill.
That's a rough one. :(
Jeez that's rough. One of the legends.
Garry Shandling now too, fucking hell.
Guess Ricky Gervais had the last laugh.
Fucking hell. 2016 is like the celebrity apocalypse.
Sad about Johan, he really was a legend. I think the next one will be a young gun. Steve-O is my bet.
Steve-O's straight edge now and doing comedy tours, there's no way he's dying soon.
He's doing tours but it's still largely him doing stupid shit is it not?
Plus he still does stuff like this:

And it's goodnight from him. Corbett gone.
'Surrounded by family' could go one of two ways but at least it wasn't the dreaded short illness. How many here are so sickeningly young that they don't remember the Two Ronnies?
I know of them obviously, but saying I remember them would be a push.
They could have had one last joke with the 'short illness'. It's what he would have wanted.
He probably would have wanted to not be dead but aside from that I guess you're right.
Christ, god's bumping off all the good celebrities this year.
Zaha Hadid of Japan national stadium farce has also died today.

Most kids would have been able to fight him off though.
Madonna, suicide by the end of the year.
Cesare Maldini.
I went to one of his book readings. Nice guy. Very funny too. As you can imagine, he had an anecdote for everything.
Its occurred to me that's the second celebrity death in a month that has me thinking about Super Furry Animals songs. Neil Diamond and the Williams sisters must be shitting themselves.
At least it's not the end of the world...
I met Howard Marks a few times. Absolute gent.
Everyones dying this year.
David Gest has popped it.
Another one I've met. Fucking hell im cursed. Ian Brown next you herd it here first, or Dicky Bird.
As soon as I heard that I couldn't help but think how weird it was coming so soon after the "David is dead" stuff on Big Brother. Now I've just seen the girl involved was selling T-Shirts with that on and had to stop selling them. Fucking hell. Who was buying those in the first place?
Morons?
Howard Marks dying has resulted in the Dirty Sanchez Movie being on telly later tonight (Comedy Central) after Kevin & Perry Go Large. What a night. :drool:
Victoria Wood dead. Cancer.
Bloody hell. Didn't know she was sick. That pretty much makes everyone from my childhood dead or a paedo now.
Fucking hell. If I had any degree of fame in this country I'd be going to the doctors for weekly cancer check ups this year.
These days if you're alive and under the assumption you don't have cancer then you need to be getting checked for it. I have lost count of the number of people I know that have been diagnosed lately.
When's Brucie going?
No :(
Chyna.
Wrestler. Made a sextape.

Fucking hell.

Fucking hell, just seen it on Twitter there. Serious dropping among singers.
Fuck sake will there be anyone left by the end of the year?
Please be a hoax.
The Armageddon is here.
Shit shit shit. Huge loss.
This has got to be IS.
Fuck this. Completely.
What the fuck is going on this year?
Him and Bowie were two absolute goliaths of pop. They got it big time. Now we're left with shit like fucking Drake and One Direction.
I wonder if we're reaching a critical mass of notable people, you've always had your fair share of the political/ruling class but there must be far more pop culture celebrities around these days. Plus the stuff anyone gives a shit about really got going 40-50 years ago so those involved are by default going to be reaching their later years around now.
Was this the dreaded 'short illness'?
Nah some type of influenza. So it actually was a proper short illness rather than a bullshit mysterious thing or cancer.
How do you die of flu these days? That seems careless.
Probably couldn't afford the flu jab.
His plane had an emergency landing last week, but then he was fine at some Paisley Park party a few days ago so everyone was relieved again.
If you've ever had proper flu, you will know how its possible to die from it. I saw my dead grand parents then my curtains tried to eat me. Couldn't even stand up for 5 days. Brutal.
Damn I'm really upset about this.
Prince was truly my favorite artist.
Haven't there been loads of rumours about him having AIDS? Flu would definitely finish him off in that case.
Good night sweet Prince.
He's up in heaven know being sexually assaulted by Chyna.
Fuck sake Pepe.
Ken Dodd's dog better watch out.
Jesus, the 80s are dropping like flies.
Anyone watched Joanie Laurer's porn? It's quite good.
I always thought Prince was gay!
Some lesbian stuff too. The one where she fucks 5 wrestlers in the ring is cool.
I never knew that Prince was so popular (unless people just like mourning).
I like a few of his songs but I don't give a shit really. Couldn't even name more than five songs at best.
I've always heard people talk about him being a genius, but I've never got it at all. Still, diff'rent strokes, for diff'rent folks.
He had a few good songs but he was no Bowie. He seemed like a huge wanker too.
I thought he was pretty good and he was a brilliant guitarist but still wouldn't have been near the top for me. Still far over Bowie who I couldn't give a shit about. Some song Nirvana covered and Major Tom, that's about it.
Buy, as Jimmy says, all different.

Now that is a sad one. Rep for the first 'RIP monkey back to the jungle in the sky' Facebook status to get an abusive response.
According to the BBC Choppers has aged six years since 2014 so no wonder she's pegged it.
To some extent I am being pedantic abut semantics, but I always had him down as a mental case rather than a wanker. I'm aware there's some overlap, but he always struck me as someone who behaved as they did because they couldn't help it, rather than as some irritating affection. The David Byrne defence.
Going by the radio tributes so far, Sinead O'Connor is going to make a fair bit of cash this month.
Prince ruined Batman.
Every Prince story is amazing. The dude is the definition of creative eccentricity.
Here's one where ?uestlove tries to impress him by DJing deep album cuts that he thinks Prince will like. Prince sends his assistant over to put Finding Nemo on instead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfhoI6iX5ng
Here's another ?uestlove story
Quote:
I got a text from Prince’s assistant. That’s how things go in the Prince universe: You get a pre‑message saying that a phone message is coming later. But this time, the message said something different. It said that there was going to be a roller‑skating party that night, for Valentine’s Day, and that I should bring some cool people.I was puzzled. What did Prince mean by “cool,” exactly? I wasn’t sure if he was trusting me with the word or with the concept. I texted back: “Cool?” It turned out they meant the people who were already with me: Mos, Talib, Jill, Erykah, Common. I started to line people up in my mind and called them to give them the news. I thought they would do backflips: a party with Prince? To my amazement, most of them weren’t up for it. Jill came backstage and told me that she was tired. Talib said that he needed to be in bed before midnight. I ran into Alan Leeds, who led me to Raphael’s dressing room, where Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy were sitting and talking. I went to my same pitch:
“Hey, guys, want to go roller‑skating with Prince?”
“Right,” Alan said. “I’ll be in the grave before I’m in skates.”
“Right,” Chris said. “Like I’m skating with these knees.”
“Right,” Raphael said. “I’m too old for that shit.”
I was confused and a little depressed. How good were these peo*ple’s lives that they could pass on Prince’s roller‑skating party? Only one man was brave enough—visionary enough—to see what lay before us, and that was Eddie Murphy. “This is historical,” he said. “For starters, I need to see if Prince can roller‑skate. I’m a comedian, and honestly, what’s funnier than that?”
Prince’s assistant texted me directions to a rink in Glenside, way out in the middle of nowhere. It was around one in the morning by the time we drove out there, and the place was empty, a bare rink, and I started to worry that I had the wrong place, or that I had been punked. Maybe Alan and Chris were in on the joke. Maybe they were all somewhere laughing. Then I saw DJ Rashida and some of her friends skating. “Hey,” I said.
http://www.slate.com/content/dam/sla...250-medium.jpg
“Hey there,” she said. They were so happy to see us that I started to feel bad that I hadn’t brought more people. “No,” she said. “Don’t worry about it. Prince likes to keep things intimate. A dozen people is a big crowd to him.” That may have been true, but it was crazy for her to say, as a DJ, and just as crazy for me, as a DJ, to hear. Do you know how hard it is to entertain a crowd that small?
The rink staff was professional, if a little nonplussed. “He’s pay*ing for us to stay open,” one guy told me. “Let’s make the best of it. What’s your shoe size?”
My girlfriend and I skated for about an hour. No Prince, no noth*ing, and the longer we went, the stranger it seemed. Was he com*ing? Was he up in the rafters, laughing? It was a strange setup, to say the least. Someone was putting down cash to keep the kid behind the snack bar there, watching the pizza bake under the heat lamp. He should have been home studying for his spelling test.
Around two in the morning we were ready to go. Still no Prince, and the anthropological benefit of watching this strange half‑attended all‑skate was wearing off. Suddenly, Eddie came in.
They were clear skates that lit up, and the wheels sent a multicolored spark trail into your path.
“Hey,” he said. “I have an idea. Maybe don’t take those skates off just yet.”
And there he came, Prince, followed by a Princely entourage: his wife, Manuela; Larry Graham; some kids. I didn’t recognize the kids but they were a familiar type—show‑biz small‑fry, like I was all those years ago, when my father took me down to the green room to meet KISS.
Prince was carrying a big briefcase in his hand, and he was acting all mysterious, like it contained the glowing substance from Pulp Fic*tion or something. He made like he was going to open it, then stopped, then started again. Then he walked toward me.
“Where’s your phone?”
“What?” I said.
“Yeah, right, what?” he said. “I know you have it, Ahmir. Where is it?”
I thought maybe he wanted to make a phone call. I admit now that’s not a plausible reading of the situation, but it was all so surreal. “It’s here,” I said.
He took it from me and turned it over in his hand. “Your coat is in coat check?”
“Yeah.”
“Put this with it.”
“Why? You think I’m going to record something?”
“Check the phone.”
“What about him?” I pointed at Eddie. “You’re not going to take his phone? He’ll tell everyone.”
Eddie put up his hands. “Hey, man, I don’t know what you’re talk*ing about. My phone’s in the car.”
I put the phone in coat check. Prince was asking me. I was being asked by Prince. It was Prince who was asking me. And fine, maybe I didn’t understand any part of what was happening, but sometimes you just have to launch yourself out into the river of an evening.
When I got back, Prince had the briefcase out on the floor. He clicked the lock and opened it, and took out the strangest, most singu*lar pair of roller skates I had ever seen. They were clear skates that lit up, and the wheels sent a multicolored spark trail into your path.
He took them out and did a big lap around the rink. Man. He could skate like he could sing. I watched him go, so transfixed that I didn’t even notice Eddie Murphy appearing at my arm. “I’m going to go get your phone for you,” he said.
That is the shittest story I've ever read. :D
But correct all the same.
He was a couple of steps below Jackson I reckon, in terms of insanity. Still, when you've got a back catalogue like that who the fuck cares, I guess.
Both will have played up to the personas quite a lot too, that seemed more the thing in them days. You need to be a little mental though to approach genius, look at Hristo Stoichkov or Justin Lee Collins.

Fucking hell, that was allowed on a cartoon in the US?
I remember watching the episode. Can't say I got the joke.
The best 'Prince is a headcase' story is Kevin Smith's about being hired to do a documentary on him.
That Animaniacs joke is a cracker, but I think you need to take a few days off Twitter, Phonics.
I was listening to 6 Music earlier and someone got in contact with a request etc., part of their accompanying tribute was "I'm far sadder about this than Bowie, to be honest".
Who the fuck says that?
Lance Storm.
I really hope 'Nice eulogy Lance' becomes a thing.
Forsyth must have a little smirk to himself every time a breaking news item comes on these days.
Speaking of Bruce Forsyth, I saw an old episode of Price is Right the other day and he was skirting very close to the sexual harassment line, far closer than I ever remembered him going.
There was a female contestant in leather trousers, and basically every comment out of his mouth was somehow about how much he liked her arse, including a fucking peach about how good it was she'd just won a treadmill, because she wouldn't want to be out running in her leather trousers when he was about.
The prices were probably still the most lol thing on it though. They had a DVD player for over a grand.
Keith Harris has fisted his last infant duck.
Browsing an old article?
I was about to post that I thought he was already dead.
Bollocks. The BBC updated it today for some reason. Probably Yewtree.
Yea I saw that on their "most read" list but it said it was old. Wonder what's caused that.
That always happens on the BBC.
They should just get rid of their most read list.
Tony Hart dies every year on Facebook thanks to that BBC feature.
You deserve to get caught out if you're not in the habit of glancing at the date on an article as you scroll down.
Bored now, need a huge A lister to die pretty soonish.
Make it happen, realise your dream.
Tony Hart dead.
That wasn't what I meant but you could go off your new roof, get some use out of it.
Bob Hoskins gone.
I think this thread is for recent deaths chap.
If not - Michael Jackson has gone, lads.:worried:
Whoosh.
I'm confused. Didn't Hoskins die a while back?
Keeping up with BBC most read showing people who died years ago thing.
Surprised to see it's been 2 since Hoskins. Really doesn't feel that long.
Whoever wrote that first sentence needs to be shot, although they're already working or ITV so that's probably punishment enough.
It shows Twitter 'tributes' up for what most of them are though. Lies. If you care about someone enough to be 'deeply saddened' that they've died you should definitely care enough to notice that they've died.
Not confirmed dead but Sinead O'Connor is gone missing since yesterday.
Beat me to it. RIP
Doesn't she go missing and then post some proper batshit stuff on Facebook every few months?
No, didn't she want to fuck her son or something?
That's not nice. She has four kids. And Arsenio Hall probably did sell those drugs to Prince.
Weren't her kids taken off her?
And she's shown up.
Til next time...
Muhammad Ali has died, 74.

You'd have been well up for the Vietnam war at the time.
And for slavery.
Would be Heiling the hell out of Hitler too.
What an ignoramus. They are yellow.
Sitting that war out was the best thing he ever did, since it seems to have stopped people remembering what a gobshite he was.
He was flawed, not a gobshite. Also a legend.
Joe Frazier thought he was a bit of a gobshite.
The best you could really say is that he was too thick to understand half of what he was spouting about race and religion. Which is sort of ironic really, seeing as he could have been drafted much earlier (and without the fuss) had he not been deemed too dense to serve.
That's the thing about inspirational speakers. They don't have to believe a word they say. They just have to convince an audience. In other news, just watched the Thrilla in Manilla again. One more round and they both would've died. Brutal and maybe the best boxing contest we'll ever have on record.
Kimbo Slice is dead.
Original worldstar. :(
I remember him from those street fighting videos where he popped some poor buggers eye.
First Ali then Slice. It's a sad time for world boxing.
NHL legend Gordie Howe has died 88 years old.
Alf's not coming back in pog form. The midget who played him is now dead. I thought he was a Henson puppet.
Anton Yelchin, from the Star Trek reboot is dead at 27. Ran over by his own car on his driveway.
http://news.sky.com/story/1714356/st...n-dies-aged-27
What a shitty way to go.
Who?
Hopefully it ran over his head or something. The idea of being pinned against the wall and slowly suffocating on the fumes is horrid.
Sounds like he came home shitfaced, fell out the car and it ran him over. That'd be my guess.
i hope the Albanians know that 1-0 probably won't do it for them. Why they're doing the corner timewasting thing, i don't know.

Scorchio, indeed. And mugs like you still smoke, Boyd.
Found out today my folk's cat has cancer. Explains a lot. Cancer is shit and we're all getting it.
I just would like a pet to die of natural causes for once.
Cancer's pretty natural. Things don't just die of being old; they get something and it does for them.
Yeah, it's just two cats running that have hit old age and their weight has just shrank. There is nothing good about picking up a previously awesome cat for a huge to get hug full of bones.
True. My family cat had to be put down due to old age and some medical thing. Was a bag of bones at the end. Think he lasted till 19 years old tho.
How old is your mog?
We think it's 14-ish. We picked it up as a stray (or rather some neighbour sent it our way as 'the people who have a cat') so that's just a rough guess. The most muscular cat we ever had. Now it's all gone a bit Lex Luger.

Scored the first goal I witnessed at Villa Park in 1994. Brilliant player (on his day) in a great side. RIP big man.
As if he scored anything other than this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E9FDiUTp30
:rolleyes:
Proper live-wire, wasn't he? Just as capable as having a shocker as making the most of his electric pace.
Atkinson was one of the first players I recognized growing up watching Premier League football.
I don't know why our police carry tasers. What's wrong with a quick twat to the arm or leg with a truncheon/baton?
Human rights people get very upset.
I thought it was because coppers don't fancy it anymore.
You couldn't do it over here, you'd have people marching with placards saying "PSNI = RUC". As if the IRA didn't deserve to be shot before they killed people.
Last time the British Police killed a black person we had riots. Fuck all this time. #BlackLivesMatter is slacking. They'll probably lay a few people in front of the entrance to the 24 hour Tesco or something.
That's such a lovely post from Mellin.
Quite a good whooshing there.
And I don't remember him scoring tap ins. I'm sure he did, but he has a serious back catalogue of brilliant goals. This (his second) is a class one I remember, although funnily enough he's outdone by both Ferdinand and Staunton. Game of absolute belters.
I've had a mare there.
A complete shocker.
Rong fred
Gene Wilder.
Omg. :(
For some reason I thought he'd been dead for 30+ years. Had he not done anything since then?
The biggest surprise from it for me is that the Mrs thought I said Gene Hackman, and after initially saying "he's hardly 83" I looked it up and seen he's 86 :|
Yeah he looked well for his age. Genes are awesome LOLpun.

Somehow, we still have Pele and Maradona.
They'll both be gone soon soon. Pele to go from a viagra overdose and Maradona to mirror Tony Montana.
Brazil had some proper legends back in the day. Socrates, what a man he was. Now there's Neymar and David Luiz, the complete antithesis (though David Luiz is a legend in his own way).
That goal is so fucking good. Nobody's thought about any of the passes or movements, they've just done them, head down, like it's instinct. Pele's touch is my favourite because at no stage does he look around for an option, he just knows where it's coming, and how to feed it.
Remember when some silly idiots thought that Spain were the greatest national team because Barca Mate?
France 98-00 would have shat on that Spain, let alone Brazil 70 or the mid 70s Germans.
Well, direct comparisons are pointless; but the point is that Brazil molested that World Cup without breaking sweat (except for that game where West Ham kept them quiet), which nobody else has done. Kind of like how Diego Maradona gets to be up there for bumming 1986 on his own.
Leonard Cohen.
For fuck's sake...
I listened to his latest album the other day and I had a feeling this was coming.
One of the greats.
Fuck.
Can't fault the bloke. 10/10 existence.
Damn. First one this year I actually will miss.
Very sad, if not totally unexpected. This year is just utter bollocks :moop:
I was trying to think if I knew one song of his until someone in work said he did that Hallelujah one.
That's a loss. I saw him live three or four years ago and I remember being a bit worried at the time that he might not translate too well in an arena environment, but he absolutely bossed it and was clearly having the time of his life. Remarkably sprightly for an older guy as well.
I guess age catches up with us all eventually though, and 82 isn't a bad run at all. He was very productive in his last years too. I've had the new album sitting on the side since it came out, I just haven't got around to listening to it. I think it will probably just make me sad now though. :(
Daniel Prodan has died of a heart attack, apparently. Forty four years old.
Fidel Castro. They finally got him.
Well, there goes the last giant of 20th century history. Is there anyone if similar stature around today? A complex figure who deserves serious analysis. There was much to detest but he was neither Stalin or Mao.
Trump on TV in five to say what a great, best day this is.
No they aren't. You'd have to put Churchill, Roosevelt and various others, probably even Thatcher in the same bracket. It's a measure of their effect on history, not a judgement for good or ill.
They all became titanic figures because of their association with extreme hardship or violence, whether they were the perpetrators or a central figure in repelling said. Mandela is another one.
Not sure Thatcher is as big as the others.
The people of Cuba genuinely seemed to love him when I was there. Of course, he controlled the education system so that is to be expected. Still, I tend to come down on Henrys side on this one. He was a bit of a cunt, but less of a cunt than others whilst achieving a hell of a lot.
Installed some quality healthcare and education there, although a lot of bodies fell in his wake. He's transformed Cuba and generations have and will continue to feel it.
True, mate. Very true.
:cool:
Such a troll.
I wonder if he'll still be tweeting when he's actually in the Whitehouse.
Half of Miami must be pissed out of their minds by now.
Twitter is showing itself right up over it. You've got right-wingers saying nothing excuses his dictatoring, and pinkos excusing it because healthcare mate. Right. Where do you stand on the British Empire?
The difference in the obits between Castro and Pinochet are really quite odd.

The legend that created the Big Mac :(
A true world hero.
How is "I'm a great big fat greedy bastard so let's double everything" a formula?
And yet it works almost every time.
Taken out of context, and in today's world, he's a fucking joker. But back in the 50's? Absolute pioneer.
I don't think I've ever had a Big Mac. McNuggets 4 life.
A b double c is where it's at.
McDonald's is utter horseshit barring nuggets and mcmuffins.
I've actually always enjoyed a McDonald's, could usually do with 2 burgers though. Milkshakes are excellent too.
At first I thought, 'oh, he's just being a bit snobby about food, fair enough' but then you said 'barring nuggets'. What the fuck? Nuggets are shite.
Adults eating chicken nuggets are up there with adults who still love Disney. They need to go and have a long hard look at themselves.
Selects are the best thing they do. BBQ dip alongside of course.
I love a McDonald's, although Burger King shits on them.
Oh and you're a shambles, Boydy. Prick.
Yup, BBQ is the daddy.
Yeah, I bet you love Disney and all. You were the fucking archetype for that person the last time I mentioned it on here.
McDonald's is really shit. Ive had it sober a couple of times recently and it's not worth the calories.
It was brilliant smashed though.
Inside out. Fucking class film don't care who you are.
+1 on Disney films being shit (unless you're under 12.)
+1 on McDonalds being shit, including nuggets, vile stuff.
And before they're mentioned, the 'gourmet' fast food alternatives like Five Guys and ermm Carls Jr or something are also shit.
McDonald's is turd, but there's one open until midnight literally two minutes from my house so I have one about once a fortnight. Their limited edition things can occasionally be quite good, but the standard selection is only to be eaten drunk.
Boydy's gone off well into the long grass here. Disney films can still be shit hot and there's nothing wrong with chicken nuggets. You're right about Mahow though, the note of genuine disappointment in his posts when it looked like Anna Kendrick had been doing gear during that 'Fappening' business was quite tragic.
I had erased that from my memory :\
Also you're right about the special edition stuff.
They've done a few burgers in the past with a smoky pepper mayo or something which was fucking stunning.
Haha. I wouldn't actively go and get nuggets from McDonald's but if I was ever there, I quite like them. I find the burgers terrible though, piss thin grey meat, soggy bread, vinegary mustard and ketchup that tastes like it's had a one night stand with a tomato. Brutal. Same with BK really, much prefer proper burgers from restaurants.
I used to work with a woman (mid twenties) who wore Disney clothes every day. She had a Disney bedroom in her flat (where she lives with her definitely gay husband), had a Disney wedding and went to Florida on Honeymoon for obvious reasons (they go every year). Everything she has, does and is revolves around Disney. Hated the cunt.
She is just under Bruhnaldo on the Worlds Worst People list.

Bloody hell, AA Gill has popped it. I don't think I've ever read a thing he's written but The Sunday Times being a fixture in the house since time immemorial means that ones hit me quite hard.
I knew he had cancer, didn't know it was that far along though.
I only really read this (I'm neither Irish nor involved in organised crime so I don't care about horse racing) to see if the beeb editors would let it through with 'short illness'.

Ian McCaskill has kicked it as well it seems (as the beeb tells me as I read about AA Gill).
I always thought A. A. Gill was a bit boring, but Journalist Twitter informed me over the weekend that he was the consensus pick for best writer of all time.
I have a book of his (A A Gill is away) which I (think I) enjoyed back when I was a (more pretentious) youth.
I think he tipped into over-snarkiness around the time he did that thing about Shakespeare being the greatest Briton. Maybe it was that he seemed more of a prick when he spoke than when he wrote. He appeared to exist in a state of permanent wincing, pained by the gaucheness (terrible word) of it all, as if everything was beneath him.

Carrie Fisher, heart attack on US -> UK flight
Not dead, but that can't be good if you're stuck on a plane for 8 hours or so.
Fucking hell.
She'll have to be carried off the flight.
As long as they find somewhere to lay her.
Twitter is full of nutters getting aggressive against "2016" if it takes Carrie Fisher.
A few twitter quotes:
I can say with absolute certainty that, if Carrie Fisher is taken from us, I will honestly be destroyed. She was my entire upbringing...
Hey 2016, don't you dare try & take Carrie Fisher from us!
No 2016, please don't take Carrie Fisher, haven't you done enough already?
CARRIE FISHER CAN NOT DIE !! NO 2016 BACK OFF. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH CARRIE FISHER
Carrie fisher? No 2016 you utter bastard. No.
who the fuck is Carrie Fisher?
She created fisher price.
People don't remember how fucking whiny she was, especially in episode 4.
She's basically Linda Blair, except Star Wars instead of Excorcist.
I guess all that coke she took didn't do her much good.
Is it too soon for a witty "Star Wars" joke?
Shinners has beaten you to it.
I'm not sure anyone's quite got there yet.
Carrie Fisher is everything I want to be. Resilient, quirky, fun and mad as a box of frogs, while remaining true to herself and her convictions. She never held her tongue, and stands up for what she believes in. She loves her friends, her dog, and her fans. She has written 8 books, 3 plays and 3 screenplays, and doctored the movie scripts for Sister Act, Last Action Hero and The Wedding Singer.
She is who I want to be in life. And I really, really want her to be okay.
:D
Where's that from?
Facebook.
It's going to be a little bit awkward if they need to reshoot Episode 8.
I have no idea who Carrie Fisher is. Tonight is the first I've heard of her. Is this what being Giggles is like? I want more of it.
Also, years don't kill people, severe diseases do.
She's now stable, supposedly.
Back off, 2016. Leave Carrie Fisher alone. You already took Prince. You can't have our Princess.

I quite like the idea of a celebrity heart attack death. Not often you hear that.
This better not delay the new Star Wars film.
They have figured out CGI technology it will probably be better without her.
CGI Carrie to get iced by hologram Tupac.
The very worst one.
Episode 1 is great if you love trade negotiations.
The only real thing worth watching is the lightsaber battle of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan v Darth Maul. Oh and midichlorians.
The machete order is a great way to watch the original 3 and prequels.
4, 5, 2, 3, 6.
Cutting out the first :drool:
Weird Al's song about 1 is better than the film and makes a suitable replacement if you need the story.
2 is still far, far worse than 1 though. I'll never watch 2 again.
Rick Parfitt out of Status Quo is probably the most significant of the year.
I think the idea that there have been more celebrity deaths this year is just the result of baby boomer idols reaching death age (baby boomers control everything in public discourse). Watch there be just as many next year, and the year after that.
Fucking Parfitt! When it came up on my phone I thought it would be massive heart failure. Momentarily felt bad for my earlier heart attack comment. It was an infection though so we're ok.
Most of the big ones this year were musicians who've been around decades, though. Jimmy's idea makes more sense to me, though I doubt next year will see as many.
How many died this year? Can only think of Bowie and Prince.
Parfitt.
Michael Jackson and Lilly Allen.
I doubt more famous people have died, but some big guns went this year. Bowie, Prince, Ali and Cruyff are all pretty huge figures in music and sport.
It's been covered in the year review I did thanks.

Why is the click-bait part of internet awash (and has been for months) with stories of Richard Branson retiring/dying/turning into a fly?
If you're going to pick a celeb and make shit up about them to garner hits, why him?
Probably some general interest, SEO keyword effectiveness spike which someone noticed, and/or you've clicked on one at some point and see more of it due to targeting.
Warwick Davis was on Sky News making out like they were bezzie mates.
'We never actually spoke, as such. Or met. But...'
The news coverage of these things is becoming increasingly morbid.
Footage of flowers and candles left at a mourning location of perceived relevance, sombre voiceover repeats verbatim some words left on a note, interview with a member of the public who had never actually met the individual in question or, at a stretch, gave them their change when they worked at the newsagents talking about how great they were, someone famous they once worked with who hasn't spoken to them in over two decades speaking into a camera, perhaps through Skype, about how greatly were, before the newsreader rounds it all up in an equally sombre voice before moving onto the more upbeat news of the day, like the latest from Aleppo or the Zika virus.

Mr Morrison, dreaded short illness.
85's quite old to get struck down by a 'short illness', unless it actually was a short illness, like raging flu or something.
It's when people under 60 die of the short illness that I start bricking it.

New page :cool:
Jose Antonio Alonso Suarez is dead :(. He was a prominent Spanish politician.
New page :cool:
Étienne Tshisekedi died yesterday, I didn't realise :(. He was the Congolese Prime Minister at one point.
I'm not sure that's always true. This sums it up nicely, I think:
Quote:
A short illness is a nice way of saying they died of a condition which didn't take them suddenly and they didn't fight for years. The were diagnosed with pneumonia or something similar and died a few days later despite efforts to save them.
For example author Sue Townsend is described in several places on the BBC website as dying "after a short illness". The truth is that she died a few days after suffering a stroke.
The "short illness" description is used because BBC policy is that an obituary celebrates the life of a person and doesn't focus on their death. The actual illness that took her life isn't really relevant so it's glossed over with a phrase that makes it clear her death wasn't sudden or prolonged but doesn't dwell on the detail.

No? Me neither.
Her family was very friendly with Prince Charles, I'm sure some kind of royal connection was the basis of her initial notoriety.
She was basically the prequel to Made In Chelsea.
The BBC are running with 'found dead', which makes it sound more like an overdose than a cancer death.
Another blow for the 1997-2005 world order.
She was fit for a bit.

I can't imagine a perforated ulcer leads to dying 'peacefully in your sleep'.
You know when you stub your toe and it knacks no much you can't even swear? It's probably like that.
I'm sure we all long for a world with entirely accurate obituaries.
'She died in excruciating pain, covered in several of her own bodily fluids and terrified of the aching chasm of nothingness opening up in front of her. The funeral will be held on Wednesday, floral tributes welcome'.
People usually shit themselves at the end too.
Where the fuck have you been, @Cord?
Dr Hayward from Twin Peaks. Dropping like flies from that series.
Bill Paxton. Game over man.
Ffs only 61. :(
Who? I googled it and got some House of Representatives fella but no mention of his death.
EDIT: I'd googled Bill Paxon. Though I don't ever recall seeing that (actually dead) actor before either.
He was Hudson in Aliens.
The ultimate badass.
I see on Wikipedia he is a lead in the Training Day TV series. Is that it fucked then? I was going to give a couple of episodes a watch.
And people say you're heartless.
What now?
Apollo 13, Tombstone, Twister, Vertical Limit. Top contribution.
I never realised he was one of the hoodlums in Terminator.
Only person killed by an Alien, Predator and a Terminator if I remember right.
Of Twister and True Lies fame :(

Geezer who played Mag the Mighty in GoT.

:(
Chuck Berry. 90. No age.
That is a massive one that. You could make a very strong case for him being the most significant musician of the twentieth century.
Who's left from that era now? Little Richard's the only one I can think of.
Jerry Lee Lewis is still going, and Fats Domino seems to be death proof.
Martin McGuiness.
Northern Irish politics is going to be weird without the old Sinn Feinn lot.
Don Rickles is dead. What a legend.
I don't think I've ever seen Dean Martin on TV sober.
It won't mean much to the non-Aussies, but John Clarke is dead at 68. :(
I'd say unarguably the funniest person in the country, and one of the all-time masters of political satire. Anyone not Australian should get themselves a copy of The Games and watch it from start to finish. A huge loss.
Those mock interviews he did were always cracking.
Is he the cunt that does that Ozzy man commentary videos? Glad the cunt is dead.
He's the guy who did that 'the front wasn't supposed to fall off' interview right?
The words political satire means I probably don't know his work.
For kiwi's he was also Fred Dagg.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYvMeT2GC14
Yes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM
The Clarke and Dawe interviews are the pinnacle of political satire. How they managed to keep it going for so long is incredible.
The Games was also peak television:

"It's about 100m."

Well known NFL murderer Aaron Hernandez.
http://www.independent.ie/sport/othe...-35635527.html
What a shame.
Thought he was set for life after he joined the Crips in jail.
I was surprised he did it after he was found not guilty of the double murders in Boston.
He was still guilty of the other one though.
My guess is it was a gang murder covered up as a suicide.
Yeah, I didn't realise he got life without parole for the one he was found guilty for. He wasn't going to get out before death.
My guess would have been gang hit as he got some gang tattoos in prison but the door was blocked from the inside.
You've both watched far too many crime procedurals.
Fucking hell, talk about jumping to conclusions.
It sounds like his life has come to a tight end! Hiyo
Not sure its fully confirmed yet but apparently Ehiogu has died after his collapse yesterday.
Shit.
:cool:
That's savage, hadn't seen it before.
Robert Miles.

Ripped the start off 999 the shameless cunt.
Remember when Oxide & Neutrino sampled the Casualty theme and brought that entire sub-genre to a juddering halt?
Garage is back, baby.
Do You Really Like It was massive too. But yeah was it really massive or just massively known for it's total and utter shiteness? You've ruined it for me, Lewis.
Ah, yeah. There are probably quite a few more tbf.
Apparently Sweet Like Chocolate was grage. :drool:
I don't know if it counts as garage, but this banger. :drool:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymNFyxvIdaM
I bought the album with that on and it was absolutely appalling.
Piano Loco was as good as chart garage got. Flibbydibbydibbydibbydibby
I bought So Solid Crew's album based off 21 Seconds. I think I've still got it. Decent album tbh.
I have Oxide & Neutrino on Casisngle.
I always liked them (not the music, I'm not mentally ill) purely for the fact they managed to get so many people to publicly admit they were in this group and take on a ridiculous name and take it so seriously. Like some kind of mass psychosis only with 8p in royalties and six months in Pentonville at the end.
Powers Boothe. :(
Brilliant in Deadwood.
Deadwood :(
Ian Brady looks close. RIP.
'Gravely ill' still sounds like a dig at the parents, to be honest.
He dead. Fifteen page spread in the papers tomorrow and all over the news as they wank themselves crazy feeding us all the gruesome aspects of his history.
That kid they never found... Check Iceland.
Someone update the Prince and Bowie image.
He's dead.
Ian Brady as well.
Nicky Hayden? Run over by a car whilst out on his bicycle training. Very serious apparently.
Hope he pulls through. One of the most likable guys to land a World Championship.
George Cygan (the guy who voiced Solidus Snake) died the other day.
Chris Cornell croaked.
What? Fuck off. :(
Black hole, son.
Fuck.
Fucking hell. :serious:
I've only got Stevie Wonder left now. LIVE FOREVER STEVIE
Weren't Soundgarden on tour and all?
Saw him last year on his acoustic solo tour and he was ace, didn't play my request for anything from the midlife crisis Timbaland album though.
Bit gutted at that. Wouldn't have minded seeing them at some point.
Investigating it as suicide apparently.
Bollocks to Prince. This fucking damaged me. No age or way to go.
Did he top himself?
"Man matching his description found in his flat with a band around his neck." is the quote I've seen.
Was it Audioslave? Lol.
I'd forgotten what a great song this is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QU1nvuxaMA
That was always my favourite from that album.
Show me how to Live as well. Music was a bit more RATM :cool:
Cochise and Shadow On The Sun were my favourites from that first one. The second album was a bit patchy but Revelations was alright, glad they didn't go any further with it than that.
Cochise was a poor man's Bombtrack.
I thought Out of Exile was their best tbh.
I echo Shindig's comment. Lots of people dying I don't really care about but this was a kick in the balls.
I always thought Set It Off was a great tune from the first Audioslave album. Cochise was massive for me at the time though, I remember thinking the video was incredibly cool. Cornell's on top of some sort of scaffolded platform and the RatM guys go up and meet him, and then loads of fire works start going off when the guitar riffs drops. :cool:
Listening to some of Soundgarden's lyrics, or even just the song titles, it can't really be said that he never spoke about it.
It was the nineties, man.
Confirmed as having hung himself. What a waste.
Had never seen this before.
https://youtu.be/rBjyl1LvBF4
Some motorbiker is appearing on my twitter as having died.
Oh fuck. That is fucking awful.
Is that Hayden? Heard he was hit while riding his bicycle a few days ago.
Yep.
Who was in charge of the death list? Can we get an update on the points half way through the year?
That's a real shame about Nicky. :(
Me. I'll dig it out tomorrow.
Not sure if many have gone besides jimmy Snuka have they?
Edit: http://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showth...eath-Pool-2017
Has anyone else gone? Will update if so.
Joost van der Westhuizen has sadly left us.
Several months ago.
Roger Moore.
:(
They started showing his Bond films on ITV again at the weekends recently, I'd completely forgot that they included a slide whistle effect when he jumped the river with that redneck sheriff.
89 though. He's had a good innings.
He was on Facebook only yesterday complaining about fox hunting in my friend's photo status.
:D
That's such a random fucking thing to mention and yet I do actually remember that, having not watched the film (whichever it was) for about 15 years. I remember they spent a few months playing every Bond film in sequence on a Tuesday/Wednesday night, with Tomorrow Never Dies being the most recent one at the end.
I blame Kiko, he's the only one who had Roger Moore in his death pool list.
Octopussy was always a favourite of mine. Moonraker was fucking crap though which was a shame.
The Saint was his best work, though.
Jesus, with all that Manchester thread posting I'd totally missed this.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...00004951836071
I hope that's true, because it's absolutely perfect. And can genuinely see it too.
Someone nobody else on here will know, but Marcus Intalex, UK DnB legend, died today.
RIP.
I saw he'd died but hadn't heard of him before. Found in a bath tub, I read.
David Letterman will be in here within the year if he doesn't get a job to keep him going.
https://i.gyazo.com/49de36e99a85b37c...a4b8018b71.png

He was growing the beard out during his last year on the show. He's just enjoying retirement, man.

More cheese Gromit...
:cool: :(
The kid asked me why Wallace and Gromit were on the news so I foolishly told her Wallace had died. She was distraught. Needs to learn young though.
... great parenting. She'll thank you for it. "I'm the fucking tooth fairy." would've topped it.

Quote:
The creator of children's TV show Bodger and Badger has died from cancer at the age of 67.
Andy Cunningham also starred the BBC show, in which he played handyman Simon Bodger and provided the voice for the beret-wearing badger that loved mashed potato.
Mash potatoooooo!
Surprised Magic's progeny is so easily disturbed. She'll definitely have seen some Salvadoran being necklaced or something when she's entered a room and he hasn't realised yet.
It skips a generation. Her child will be a cunt beyond words.
I never realised Badger was a comrade before.
ADAAAAAAAAAM WESSSSSSSSSSST.

Bugger that. He didn't look that old even the last time I seen him on TV recently enough.

Apparently that's bollocks. Looks a sore one but he's fine.
What a fucking sponge, he was never making that turn.
Fuck sake. 3rd time lucky.
Two million quid concept car. Oh dear. Get the man a bus pass.
That must be the end of him getting to tear around in properly expensive cars.
Best PR they could have hoped for.
When I lost my first tooth I basically started crying because "I didn't want strangers in my room" and my Mom had to stop and tell me no it's just a game that adults play blah blah blah.
Genuinely the first time I remember thinking "hold on now... you.. lie.. to me... for ... sport?" Santa had no chance after that.
You missed some good shit Bruh.
Henry and GS are this close to sending each other strongly-worded letter bombs
Ya idk why I went off like that. :(
Apparently Lewis PM'd me like a month into my self-imposed exile and said mert had an even worse MELTDOWN than I did and that it was now "safe to come back" lmao
I do wonder what that was about. Does mert not post here anymore?
I truthfully didn't log in once during my MELTDOWN, not wanting to give satisfaction to someone who might see my "recent activity" (as if I'm that important for someone to notice:wanker:). Nah, going into complete hiding was the better option. :facepalm:
It's a bit funny looking back considering it really wasn't that serious. I'd like to think I had other shit going on but I don't even remember if I'm honest. Glad to be back, anyhow.
Don't worry bruh, you're probably not even top 10.
I checked your account every day just in case. Well played.
Oh trust me I never even imagined people would notice I left. I was fairly surprised to see two (2) mentions after 6 months of exile.
Was that 6 months ago? Time flies when the established order is crumbling down around you.
Glad you're back, @bruhnaldo :)
No mention for Barry Norman?
Rod Hull.
Must have been a fucking high roof.
Michael Jackson.
Are we doing this again?
Jesus has just gone.
Poor bastard.
Leslie Neilson. :(
Someone just said it to me today, I dunno.
I've just read the circumstances. Fuck me. :D
Didn't even get to see the final.

Nelsan Ellis has died of heart failure. Thirty nine.

Linkin Park singer
Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, has committed suicide aged 41.
http://m.tmz.com/#article/2017/07/20...mmits-suicide/
Loved a bit of Linkin Park back in my yoof.
I met him back in '04 at a meet and greet. nice enough guy, damn shame.
The Collision Course album with their collaborations with Jay-Z was :drool:
Used to love them.
I've become so numb,
Fucking loved them in my early teens. That's sad.
EDIT: That he killed himself, I mean. Not that I once liked them.
He's with jay z up the in the sky now.
Fuck. :(
Up there with Limp Bizkit and Eminem on my teenage most played list.
Hybrid Theory will always have a very special place for me. I found my original (now 17-year-old) copy in my car literally a couple of hours before I heard the news :(. Awful news.
To say that they made up a large part of my formative teenage years would be an understatement. This is really awful stuff.
John Heard, the dad in Home Alone, is off.
Nice of you to tell us once you heard but what's his name?
:D boom
Outstanding
Oh shit :D
He also played a weird squash/racquetball type game against Tom Hanks in Big.
He'll be sorely missed.
Hugh Hefner
Normally you can say they're gone to a better place, but...
Some reports of Tom Petty, though other reports are saying he's just in a really bad way after a heart attack.
EDIT: Apparently he was on life support but there was no hope so he's gone.
man fuck today
:(
Well that's shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lWJXDG2i0A
So good.
Some strong nominative determinism there.
Who?
He's still alive. :harold:
No, he's dead. His manager confirmed it. And the BBC.
Never really listened to much of his music but I remember him being in a really really weird film (he was so distinct looking, you can’t help notice when he’s in something) and he was the voice of a cat in an awesome Primus song. No idea what song, I just remember liking it when I was about 18.
I knew a couple of songs they played on the News, but I had never heard of him or the ‘Superband’ he was in.
Probably the best supergroup of all time tbh.
I was sure I saw a Guardian BREAKING NEWS alert about him not being dead but being gravely ill. Spooky.
Yep they released a CORRECTION this morning which in true granuid style, was wrong.
I'd never heard of them (or if I had, I'd forgotten), that is my kind of music, and I'm 29. They made two albums which were released when I was 0 and 2 respectively.
Roy Orbison's voice is so rubbish.
Their greatest hits got to number 1 in 2007.
I couldn’t tell you what any of the number 1 albums have been since the 90’s.
I didn't know who he was either.
That Roy Orbison comment is appalling.
Stop cwying.
It sounds like he's singing into a bucket, and the consequent noise is then piped from the PA system used by a 1990s pub quiz into the recording mic. Awful. Good songs though.
That bloke out of 10cc. The one with the beard.
I've heard of Tom Petty and Roy Orbison but The Wilburys? I'd barely have been able to say they were a band and I'm far superior to Spikey in all regards.
I'll admit they passed me by.Quote:
The Traveling Wilburys (sometimes shortened to the Wilburys) were a British-American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty. The band recorded two albums, the first in 1988 and the second in 1990, though Orbison died before the second was recorded.
Well, clearly not in kindness. :(
George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan were the other members.
I'm surprised that so few people know about them. They've always been on my radar, so perhaps my perception of their popularity is a bit skewed.
I'm familiar with all the individual members and their work (regrettably in Dylan's case), I just never knew they were all in a supergroup together in the late 80s.
The Travelling Wilburys is a good supergroup name though, I'll give them that.
Never heard of Jeff Lynne.
Apart from Bob Dylan and George Harrison, I didn't know the others were MEGA at all.
Ah, it wasn't 10cc. He was from ELO. Mr Blue Sky and ... Evil Woman ... and that.
The Travelling Wilburys had some kind of greatest hits not too long ago, I didn't know of them until that ad seemed to be on TV all the time.
George Harrison and Bob Dylan, it's almost a relief they passed me by.
The lack of respect for the Wilbury's hurts my soul, ya'll.
Yeah, well, personally I think George Harrison was the most talented Beatle.
I was trying to make fun of try-hards with that. Sorry.
Well that's the equaliser netted after I did you for racism earlier, albeit I somehow came off worse there as well.
He was though. Paul McCartney is a dweeb and Lennon was a bore.
Harrison was brilliant, but it's a proper hipster view to pretend he was better than McCartney or Lennon.
His songs are all great, but they make up about four per cent of the overall output. Plus he used to get Eric Clapton to do the hard bits for him.
I'm a massive Dylan fan and I couldn't name you a single Wilbury's song
Why the fuck would you listen to a supergroup? That's like the baseball all-star game or a Ryan Giggs charity match
Look, I happen to like Audioslave's first album, okay? An actual answer is this: "Guys from those bands you like, that are no longer active, are coming together to make more music. It might sound good."
Sean Hughes of Never Mind the Buzzcocks Fame :(
Fucking hell, only 51.
Fucking hell.
Kevin Cadle of Sky Sports presenting fame also a goner.

That's Irish for natural causes right?
Kev + Nick was the best.
Not really a 'celeb' but one of the main journalists to connect the Panama Papers to government officials was blown up by a car bomb outside her house in Malta today in not suspicious at all circumstances.
Hmm interesting that. Don't piss off important people eh.
The bloke who played JJ of JJ's Diner in Parks and Rec has died. :(
Fats Domino. 89.
That leaves Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, so there is clearly something to be said for sitting down.

Don Antonio Carluccio :(
Eighty isn't bad when you consider he was fat and must have worked his way through all sorts of unhealthy, cancer-causing booze/meat/shite over his life. So fuck off Jamie Oliver.
The Carluccio's near me closed down about a month ago, to be replaced by Tony Macaroni. Maybe what killed him.
I went looking for the abysmal Tony Macaroni advert to drive home that the place is as naff as the name suggests, but I've only ever heard it on radio and it turns out the accompanying video is genuinely upsetting.

That pleb isn’t Higgins. John Higgins is Higgins.
Malcolm Young.
Meh. ACDC are fucking dire.
lol you faggot. lol indeed.
Was he the senile one?
Charles Manson and Jana Novotna.
Apparently the 'French Elvis' is dead.
Don’t worry lads, he’s not talking about Charles Aznavour. He’s still alive and well.
Well, those Twitter links lead down an interesting rabbit hole.
Social Justice Warriors claim themselves another victim.
Now that's a shame.
I like that the company is postponing the release of her latest film, rather than cancelling it. The Magics of the world will be all over that.
Max Clifford, apparently. After "collapsing in prison".
Cheggers.
:(
We lost a great man today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfxkfbyi7ps
Shame it wasn't the wanking incident.
That's worse than any of the 2016 deaths.
Max Clifford's Google results are great. People also search for Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, Freddie Starr, and Jade Goody.
What was the famous caption?
"If Max Clifford is so good at public relations why does everyone think he's a cunt."
Rather loses it's edge given what happened.
Mr Glass himself, decided to call it quits

The old Scouse boy on Gogglebox has popped it, apparently.
He always seemed really nice too.

I bet you had to fact check that opinion.
She watches it religiously so I end up watching. He was sound and just sour enough at times to be extra sound. The big black women are good too.
Dan Gurney. :cool:
Cyrille Regis. Fuck.
Dolores O'Riordan, singer with the Cranberries.
Suicide surely.
Hopefully she didn't shoot herself in the head or Zombie will be a tough listen.
I seem to be the only person on the planet that’s never hear of her or The Cranberries.
:unsure:
The Cranberries are great.
Well, less so now.
If you've seen a tourism ad for Ireland, you've heard the Cranberries.
Spikey and Giggles, have a word.
What? They're terrible, and the way you could hear the Limerick accent come through in her vocals was like nails down a blackboard.
An dare voylence causes soylence bloop bloop bleep mistaken.
Cracking guitar bit though.
I was always more of a Linger man, although that does the same thing a bit.
No mention of Dreams?
