Beverly Cleary the most popular pick (18) until now is a hit for @Bibliogryphon, @drol, @Joey Russ, @Perhaps, @ThereWillBeDeaths7, @deadsox, @Book, @Dying Probably, @arghton, @The Daredevil, @msc, @Death Impends, @Lynchian, @The Old Crem, @Great Uncle Bulgaria, @Annami, @The Unknown Man and @Yvonne CONGRATULATIONS ALL!!!

Despite having the Betty Driver Memorial Thread and the Yewtree thread @YoungWillz thought that I should start a thread for the only person who's managed to hold down a job he can't do for knocking on 60 years. Corrie bosses if you're reading this I'm also a shit actor and like Coronation Street, could do with a 60 year career fucking up my lines and giving two emotional expressions only to cover every situation. Just PM me. Claims to have shagged 1,000+ women. Probably why he struggled to remember details when he was intimately grilled about them in the name of Yewtree but got away with it. Best known for fucking up his lines in thousands of episodes of Coronation Street, yet being an egotistical maniac who thinks he'd have been the next Hollywood superstar if he had turned Corrie down. Views himself as the guardian of Ken Barlow and constantly argues with producers over whether Ken would do something. One of the last survivors of the original cast of Coronation Street and cult icon in the United Kingdom. Despite his obvious insanity, purely through longevity he's become important in the national psyche and penetrated far beyond the world of soap, how many fictional marital scraps have the outcome shown on the scoreboard at Old Trafford? Spiritually searching for something with his weird cults that he belongs to, aged massively in the past few years so might be about to cark it you never know. Wants to work until he's 100 unfortunately for those of us who actually watch Corrie, but working that long might induce a stress related heart attack to save us all from his one emotion and bad delivery.... I'm only starting this thread to avoid whoever does when he eventually carks it opening it with some post-humous glowing eulogisation of the ineffective, lucky old cunt in his thread's first post. Always remember he's a shit actor who isn't sacked because he's been their too long to sack.

Will newish accounts stop suggesting her in the Ideas and Possibilities threads now ?

Beverly Cleary is a hit for a few of us here.

You’re responding to a post when I was a bit more naive. A few years have past and I now recognize how influential an author she was.

Some said it would never happen. Others suggested that little understood laws of the universe meant it was not possible. What is it that has challenged such great minds for so many years? Time travel? Evidence of extra-terrestrial lifeforms? Exceeding the speed of light? The immortality of Clive Dunn?? No, it was in fact the idea that Bibliogryphon could actually score a point in a cup round. However, beloved author Beverly Cleary has died, and because of that the unthinkable actually happened. As such, Bibliogryphon takes the lead against Etush in his cup match! He doesn’t get a unique hit however as Markb4 also had Cleary on his team. A bit of a consolation in his matchup I would say. YorkshireBanker vs CalebH 4 - 7 Grobler vs msc 0 - 12 Djemba Djemba vs alt obits guy 6 - 9 Theoldlady vs deadsox 0 - 0 Perhaps vs ThereWillBeDeaths7 12 - 6 Book vs An Fear Beag 12 - 12 Markb4 vs maryportfuncity 3 - 6 Quim Reaper vs Wormfarmer 6- 0 HDS vs Clorox Bleachman 12 - 12 DeathByArsenic vs Joey Russ 6 - 0 DevonDeathTrip vs Annami 17 - 9 Gcreptile vs Baby Blue 13 - 3 BuffaloPhil vs CaptainChorizo 6 - 9 Banana vs GreatUncleBulgaria 23 - 6 Spade_Cooley vs Grim Up North 21 - 9 Bibliogryphon vs EtushIsPushingUpTheDaisies 3 - 0

Pedantic argument: Have I now ‘outlived’ Ckeary or do I have to live to 105 to do that? It’s thoughts like this that have me awake at 5am.

She is also a hit for me. Please see my number 38. Thank you.

Called it you cunts.

No, we didn’t. They did. Just like they ‘missed’ everyone else who’s fucking died this year.

Wow, my very first here . Only old tough cookies in my team

Beverly Cleary clearly is a hit here for Annami, Bibliogryphon, Buffalo Phil, Elephant, Etushispushingupdaisies, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, Steve, The Daredevil, The Old Crem, theoldlady and ThereWillBeDeaths7.

Beverly Cleary is a hit for a few of us here.

I’m a male, and I read many of her books

I can’t see Cleary now

Aww. I mean, she had a good long life but its still sad to see writers I used to read die. I liked her books, they were of that very 1950s style where not a lot happens and people live happily with their pet dogs.

Beverly Cleary had risen considerably on the community's centenarian totem pole after last year's carnage, but in the HPDP only markb4 could see Cleary now. He is rewarded 20 base points and 8 extra for uniqueness, for 28 total.

It’s in Scotland’s interests to keep the SNP in power but never let them win their independence referendum. We are in the unusual situation where we have a party in power which has not yet achieved its fundamental goal. So long as we keep this fine balance by keeping them so close to their ideological goals but yet just far enough to keep them from it, they will continue to give us free stuff. Devolution under the SNP: Scotland will never have it so good again if we give them what they want.

Childrens Author Beverly Cleary dead at 104 years: https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2021-03-26/beverly-cleary-childrens-author-obituary

The fuckwits called The White Rose who are anti vax and anti mask need to fuck off. I've taken down at least 10 posters walking home from work today. They are a group on Telegram with a few thousand members who spread bullshit like this. Origin of the name? From WW2 Nazi Germany where people spread leaflets about the resistance.

One of the best German love songs: Stella Maris by Einstürzende Neubauten feat. Meret Becker. Still love it, so beautiful, so tragic! I still got the CD. From 1996... time flies really fast...

Reminds me of the late great Ian Dury .... I could be the driver an articulated lorry I could be a poet I wouldn't need to worry I could be a teacher in a classroom full of scholars I could be the sergeant in a squadron full of wallahs What a waste What a waste What a waste What a waste Because I chose to play the fool in a six-piece band First-night nerves every one-night stand I should be glad to be so inclined What a waste! What a waste! But I don't mind I could be a lawyer with strategems and ruses I could be a doctor with poultices and bruises I could be a writer with a growing reputation I could be the ticket man at Fulham Broadway Station What a waste What a waste What a waste What a waste Because I chose to play the fool in a six-piece band First-night nerves every one-night stand I should be glad to be so inclined What a waste! What a waste! But I don't mind I could be the catalyst that sparks the revolution I could be an inmate in a long-term institution I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by Yeah! I'd have loved to be a rock singer. Alas I cannot sing a single note in tune. Or a really good actress, the sort who can disappear into a role and not be recognised in the street. Or an artist. I mean, when you see some of the shit that passes for art in galleries now, that's doable.

He looks a lot more gaunt and skinny than previous photos but I guess hospital food is best not eating! Still looks like a walking corpse but can see him making 100 now

.......but they had every idea it would be transmitted while he was still in hospital. They let it run, trashing the family and fucking over our country while his grandfather lay in hospital 'recovering' from heart surgery and fucked plumbing. All heart, those pair of cunts, eh.

Dead
