Wikipedia now tells me that yesterday we had the deaths of Kok, Kwok and Ngok.

I want to be morbid man since I am an adult now.

Physically an adult, mentally still a (morbid) kid.

Those wee robot guys are really going to have pick up the slack with the housework till he recovers, then.

All the best to you and your family, DeathClock. Support each other as best you can.

Oh, yes, I'm going to report you to a mod. How hurtful!!!!!!

So sorry, Death Clock. I lost my Dad at a young age so I feel your pain. Hoping for the best for you and your Dad.

Dharampal Singh, 72, is killed by a group of 'rogue' monkeys who threw bricks at him from a tree.

Third Nigerian Chief Justice to die this year. If I were Salihu Modibbo Alfa Belgore (WTF?) I'd go for a check-up...

The link appears to be dead and he, therefore, may be alive. Maybe he just needed a reboot? No other sources mentioning his possible demise. Edit: The link is alive once more. According to the report, no cause of death has been given. https://www.newsday.com/long-island/computer-associates-charles-wang-1.22209693

A catholic crocodile! In a gruesome occurrence, a crocodile killed a protestant pastor in Ethiopia as he was baptising his followers near a lake. https://tribune.com.pk/story/1728514/9-crocodile-kills-pastor-baptism-ceremony-ethiopia/

Manning was the most popular stand up comedian of his generation and made a very good living indeed working the Northern working mans clubs. If he was overrated then that would be an opinion formed now looking back. Manning was popular in his day, way more popular and wealthier than Reid and Bowen ( Carson was very popular TBF) and, maybe, the lack of gushing praise was, indeed, solely down to the fact that he was a bit of a c**t. Then again to be dismissive of his undoubted success and popularity is going down the same road as those that now want to ignore what Churchill did in the war and run with the probability that he had pigmies killed somewhere in Africa, or summat. The past is the past, we cannot judge history by the society and world we live in today yet that is exactly what is now happening. It doesn't seem enough for a minority of very vocal wankstains to change today and tomorrow, they want to erase who fucking swathes of yesterday too.

This is truly awful. I lost my mum when I was 9. In someways though you have it worse because you know what is happening as a child the family did try to shield me. I am so sorry.

This is going to be equivalent to eight full moons every night and it won't "make astronomical observations more difficult". Yeah, this is the thread for porcine aviation alright.

MS causes paralysis which over time weakens the respiratory and circulatory system. The life expectancy is around 20 years but many people have passed before that point.

Yeah, hope yer listening, notorious forum snowflake LFN. Anyhow, Manning was overrated, and dated quickly, especially compared to Comedians era contemporaries like Frank Carson, Mike Reid and Jim Bowen, among others. And note all of them, even Bowen, got warm and fond praise when they died, none of the "controversial figure" hushed tones. Manning had comic timing, but so did Russ Abbott and he's as funny as a bout of lung cancer.

Vicente Almeida d'Eca, picked 2017, is another List of the Missed-er.

Gemma Nuttall also LotM...

enforcing political correctness gives position and power to people who have no talent and otherwise would have nothing they only care about themselves when for example to they help young girls abused by Pakistani gangs

I’m here. Just found the level of cuntishness on here quite tedious and didn’t really have much to contribute. Still don’t to be honest! But I’ve had a skinful so thought I’d check in

Check the rules of any dead pools you're entered in first - a few of them disqualify you if you kill team members yourself

With a population heading north of 1.3 BILLION , I suppose, 250 dead in one hit is not really going to register as much as a flea bite on an Elephants arse in reducing the Worlds population. I suspect, in the time it took for them to get hit and die, 721 babies were born in Delhi alone.

He did a 45 minute interview with Chris Matthews the other day looking back at his career. Many people don't know before becoming a shouting tv anchor Matthews worked in the White House during the Carter years as a speechwriter. Carter looks good and still as sharp. I still find him an enigma though - he was a conservative democrat for his era yet is now heralded by the left. It's taken almost 40 years for his presidency to get praise as opposed to him just being a great ex president. But also I know two people who have worked close with him - one passed away last year and had known Carter since he was running for Governor in 1966 (he was a local news reporter), and the other is an archivist in Georgia state politics who has had the chance to sit down with Carter as well as other significant Georgian figures like Zell Miller, Carl Sanders, Bill Schupp etc. The reporter says Carter was a great campaigner and was a man of the people type candidate but behind the curtain he was actually introverted and his campaign platform wishy-washy. It's not a surprise that the one job Carter has mastered all his life is teaching at Church. So in Georgia it was not a shock to political insiders that his presidency was full of crisis and his image was very weak. Back then in Georgia the governorship was one non consecutive term - there was no re-election but if there had been it has been argued he would have lost since a large group of people who voted for him because he was seen as one of their own (white rural farmers and the deep south) felt betrayed at his social and integration policies. But in the presidential election they all came out to vote for him because the south hadn't had a president for almost 150 years. He thought if he did things a certain way as president other people would follow him but in fact his micro-management rubbed people the wrong way since it made him seem like he didn't trust them. Also it was his wife who was really the political force and the ambitious one - she was against him giving the famous "Crisis of Confidence" speech because it was pretty much admitting he was overwhelmed by the job but he did it anyway. She was suggesting to take military action against Iran although most of the country were too eventually. During the 1980 campaign she was more optimistic than her husband and the defeat hurt her more than him. The other guy says Carter is a lot more outgoing as an older ex politician than he ever was as a politician. He didn't have many friends in politics because he didn't try to make them. Maybe because he's mellowed with age but I have a feeling he's privately happy not to have had a second term since he's been able to fulfill his goals and what he likes without the responsibility/burden of politics.

You've been behaving well for long enough that I'll be nice and change it.
