It might be better to say "died while at work", since on this side of the pond "on the job" has a different colloquial meaning

The Casino will be dimming its lights tonight in memory of Smith Hart, who became the Poker Tournament's first ever hit a year ago.

(Suggested cross posting from 'Journalists') Dick Feagler, a long-time Cleveland journalist whose career included time as a newspaper columnist, playwright & TV personality, has died. He was 79. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/07/columnist_dick_feagler_voice_o.html

From said interview:

If you want to wind up Creepy, post it in the How Long Until We're Dickless? thread as well.

Erm....... Wrong thread?

From Y-Dub's post above: "Bay City Roller Alan Longmuir dies" (Just so the name is searchable). And yes, it is sad news. Although.... that means he died on a M-O-N-D-A-Y morning.

*checks forum* Thread police? EDIT - Man, that cat looks pissed. Bet it ate the photographer soon after.

I would have to clear it with Thread Police but I believe it should go in the Chirac thread (where I believe everything should go)

Unique for my BBC Heaven theme team, which gets them off the mark. Shame. A creator of icons in his era.

Thanks everyone, especially @msc for all your hard work. Commiserations @Sir Creep, I hope you clear the final hurdle next year. It is nice to still be winning deadpools. Would still like to get a Hartlepool DP win to add to my collection, so I'm not going to be retiring any time soon.

Bye bye baby.

Well, that's me straight off to the 'words we hate' thread . An unintended consequence I know...

Following my dismal start I've been emailing my later predictions to FIFA telling them to get the VAR team to buck their ideas up and get it right.

Hmm - dunno; he's not notably malicious or bitter and twisted. His drinking and general demons are more to do with obvious mental health problems. If anything, he'd be one of the previous nearly-men who'd wish the winners well and actually mean it. Dunno how - say - David Beckham, Frank Lampard, David Seaman or one or two other stalwarts of Golden Generation failures would feel. If we do achieve the near-impossible the tell tale sign would be anyone of the past stars passing derogatory comments about the quality of the opposition beaten on the way to victory in 2018.

Can't find it online but one of my favourite Spitting Image sketches is where David Owen forms The David Owen Party, and then splits from it.

I'm relieved to hear that!

Enjoy Cirque du Soliel aeriel acrobats.

Except Ascot.

So I nicknamed them the immortals, and less than 2 years later, there's only 3 left? Chalk another prediction up for Mystic Meg here.

Oh I never watch such stuff. It comes on the telly and I have a good watch. I can't get into all that discussion group stuff. I'll see it if and when it's on.

Their plastic content should ensure they would float, anyway.

Driving after a doob is already forbidden under the laws that make it illegal to drive a car whilst under the influences of drugs, legalising cannabis doesn't mean legalising driving while high. Just like you can drink without driving, you'd be allowed to smoke without driving and then arrested for getting behind the wheel? Exact same system as alcohol and one that's already de facto in use in the large swathes of the country that have unofficially legalised cannabis....

Kirk and Olivia will die before Vera, though I don't know where, don't know when.
