State funeral?

You care so little of this forum that you actually spent a good few minutes typing all that out (even though none of us will read beyond the first 2 lines cos it's boring AF). I've said it before and I'll say it again – if you don't like it here then bugger off somewhere else.

Like buses, you wait 70 years for one then 2 come along at once.

I got a birthday card last week from my great uncle (99 years young) that had Charlie's head on the stamp, first one I've seen, but then again I don't send or receive many letters.

The grapevine is awash with rumours like this. I believe them. It's not looking good. King Peggy before the end of next year, unfortunately.

Look at what's below 20: the better of the two Kylie songs, an absolute banger by Kelis, the dulcet tones of CBR and cor blimey guvnah Kate Nash. I love this game and all the players but you're a bunch of perverts.

Is Philp too young to remember? Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in The Congo...not fucking Rwanda!

Bob Appleby (Hugmans) goalkeeper for Middlesbrough in the early 1960s, reportedly dead aged 84: https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/25/rest-in-peace--bob-appleby/ Dunno why some of these folk have no Wiki page.

Debbie Harry has really let herself go.

Cy Town is unlikely to be getting an obituary at this point, but just for the sake of completion when adding him to the LotL, the latest issue of Doctor Who magazine has given his date of death as March 26th.

Some of these bans are odd. I found I was banned when I went beyond 45 degrees South earlier in the year. Given than En Passant started a Gooseberry love-in I'd just like to say I'm a big fan of DL's own enema queen too

Apologies for being three days late but I only look at this thread occasionally. Can scarcely believe it’s been that long! Definitely one of the headline ‘2016 was cruel’ deaths. An absolute musical marvel obviously and his legacy will outlive all of us but he also sparked one of the funniest Twitter (RIP) moments of all time:

More likely simply it doesn't really feel like the time to make fun of a family while two of its principal members (and key characters in your show) are suffering from cancer. Not much humour to be found there.

I updated pregnancy pool but Lea Michele is pregnant again.

My exact sentiments on him as well. Probably sits back and laughs while the rest of us get angry. Pure genius
