I miss the days when the "dead of 2015"-thread was still used for people who actually died in 2015...

I have no idea if this is new or old, but it popped up on my facebook page: FIFTY SHADES OF GREY BY PAM AYRES The missus bought a Paperback, down Shepton Mallet way, I had a look inside her bag;... T'was "Fifty Shades of Grey". Well I just left her to it, And at ten I went to bed. An hour later she appeared; The sight filled me with dread. In her left hand she held a rope; And in her right a whip! She threw them down upon the floor, And then began to strip. Well fifty years or so ago; I might have had a peek; But Mabel hasn't weathered well; She's eighty four next week!! Watching Mabel bump and grind; Could not have been much grimmer. And things then went from bad to worse; She toppled off her Zimmer! She struggled back upon her feet; A couple minutes later; She put her teeth back in and said "I am a dominator!!" Now if you knew our Mabel, You'd see just why I spluttered, I'd spent two months in traction For the last complaint I'd uttered. She stood there nude and naked Bent forward just a bit I went to hold her, sensual like and stood on her left tit! Mabel screamed, her teeth shot out; My God what had I done! She moaned and groaned then shouted out: "Step on the other one!!" Well readers, I can tell no more; Of what occurred that day. Suffice to say my jet black hair, Turned fifty shades of grey!!

Poor Brucina. From Gold Medal winning Decathalon athlete to being known as fringe famous person who is Kim Kardashians stepfather/mum.

Was he a politician because this is a political thread? gcreptile beat you to it by the way and that's the second time this weekend he's had his thunder stolen. http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8394#entry219965

I miss the days when the "dead of 2015"-thread was still used for people who actually died in 2015... Aw come on, every time someone dead appears it's 'oh, there's a thread for that...' or '...as whatsit deadboard posted centuries ago'. Sometimes you just can't win. PS you could always start an anal posters thread. I'm sure I once bought some anal posters in Athena. Looked lovely on the living room wall. I used to work at the company that printed Athena posters; I'm saying nowt else.

Muzeyyen Senar The Turkish Classical Music performer known as "The Diva Of The Republic" is dead at 97

Oh I dunno; Pratt's Bottom springs to my mind. Yeah I meant funniest "normal" place name. Ones that aren't generally found on those lists. Now I think about it there's probably a hundred other places in Australia that are equally hilariously named. All those "Cock Bottom" type places in England are so 2006!

He was a 'unique' on my 'Roger & Out' theme team last year, (and two years before that). I didn't re-enter this time. Two Rogers in three years is a poor return, though I might try again with a few different Rogers next year. Surely depends how much you're putting yourself out?

Yoga seems to be putting more wrestlers in hospital than oxycontin these days.

Casper in now a ghost.But is he a friendly ghost?

A fair summary of her film career I'd say. Although when she slapped the face of a cop in The Naked Gun 2½ it seemed pretty realistic. It was actually the cop car that she slapped in the opening credits which was a take-off of when she slapped a cop for harrassing her in real life. Her line was "It happens every fucking time when I go shopping" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxu8ddGvVZ8

I'd have thought it would have been Dionne Warwick who should be weary about taking a bath.

Did anyone? Too, late if you didn't. don't be to maudlin about the death of Joe Maudlin! Joke ruined.

The date on that link is two days ago, up to date news would be good you flange-hammock.

No-one has played their joker on Stuart Hall which is a pity because the irony itself would have been worth a few extra bonus points

This reminds me of what Clive James had to say on the prospect of Australia becoming a republic. He said that he would be minded to stand for the role of president because he could envisage two possibilities. Firstly the post would purely be ceremonial and would just require someone charasmatic with could communications skills for which he felt he would be perfectly qualified or it would be a post of real power and the thought of anyone else doing it terrified him. I do not think that Australia should just dismiss the prospect of Republicanism but it should be part of a discussion about what Australians want Australia to be. I think even the Queen would accept that concept.

To be honest, as a citizen of a country where royal titles, peerages and knighthoods were abolished decades ago, I have to confess that I am not the greatest fan of the royal family. For me, Prince Phillip always seemed like a lucky but utterly useless halfwit, who married well but didn't really have a proper job (or genuine achievements) at any time in his life, and someone who (along with his grandkid Harry) periodically embarasses the countries of which his wife is a sovereign with his gaffes and stupidity. I also knew that he was already well decorated, so what does a 456th medal/title even mean to him? And knowing that his wife is the sovereign of Australia, I thought that he would be knighted either by her or his own son, Charles, which seemed like a ridiculous idea. All in all, it may not be unusual, but for me, it seemed like a waste of a perfectly good opportunity to honour someone with... well, some actual achievements or efforts put into making Australia a better place. I'm putting you on my list of enemies... Now that is a true honour.

I may actually start blocking them or just removing them from my newsfeed. It's not so much a case of not reading it, it's more that I wish people's ability to recognise that which should remain private and which information is acceptable to announce to all and sundry. The posts that annoy me more than anything are the ones along the lines of 'I can't believe that just happened', 'Just had the worst news ever' 'I am so upset right now', there are no further details so nosy buggers like me are left thinking WTF? Of course almost immediately some friends of the poster will respond with 'are you all right?', 'do you need to talk?' etc The original poster then replies to said suckers with 'I will send you a private message'. Why not just PM the friends who can give you a shoulder to cry on in the first place. What is the point on posting to all and sundry about something that has upset you if you are going to be all coy and only discuss the details privately. To me it is attention seeking at it's worst. I much prefer those that post 'I had a fucking awful day because my budgie flew out the window when I was cleaning it's cage and next door's cat had a tasty meal' than half posts that crave attention. The same person who posted a while back about their middle child self-harming and complaining that they never had time to do anything, decided to post today about a surprise dinner they've planned for their father-in-law. If it's a supposed to be a surprise, why announce it to everyone?

The news. It's all so fucking dull and boring. I don't give a shit about snow in Rochdale, or that someone in Manchester might have Ebola, or that if I eat too much cheese I might catch cancer of the fanny. I don't give a fuck about kids with flies in their ears in Africa, Barack Obama's wife, or how big Kim Kardashian's fucking arse is. And I blame the media for me not giving a fuck, because they bombard you with this utter shite all day every day, to the extent where I am now immune. Bollocks to news, because it ain't new.

Mala Aravindan One of the most popular people in Malayalam cinema is dead at 76 from a heart attack.

You beat me to it and - now that you've appointed me Fort correspondent - it has taken me three days to get here on my bike. They gave me a cup of Bovril and told me to fuck off back to England.

Marvin Rainwater. The only way that guy could sound any more country is if his name was Cletus McMethteeth And despite this he still scored a UK no.1 in the 50s with his song "Whole Lotta Woman"!
