Deathlist and chill

There has been a terrorist attack against the heart of our democracy, whatever your political beliefs. 1 police office has been seriously injured, up to 12 innocent pedestrians have been mowed down on Westminster Bridge, and you think that's appropriate? Confused.

It's the losing the ability to breath which is usually the kicker.

Chuck Barris dead. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/chuck-barris-dead-gong-show-929310 Shame. I loved The Gong Show. The 1986 Channel 4 repeats were fantastic.

I feel bad for Bettie Kennedy Not only did Martin and Dexter Die next to her But I can't even be bothered to find a word that rhymes with Kennedy. Second verse I feel bad for József Szécsényi...

On Poetry Day In twenty seventeen, Two famous men died. They weren't on my team. Old Colin Dexter Wrote some good books His character Morse Caught lots of crooks. Martin McGuinness - Let me be blunt - IRA Terrorist Bit of a cunt. One lived in Oxford And one in Norn Iron. I shouldn't have missed them I knew they were dyin'.

I come here to chill.

Readying a fairly competitive round three squad just in case. Since I may well not need 'em thought I'd share the ironic little joke that leaves Reinhard Hardegen on the SUBS bench

Rob Ford could no longer smoke crack cocaine one year ago today.

Excellent work though.

A bunch of really old people; - Kirk Douglas (born 1916), an actor (just in case he doesn't die this year) - Evelyn de Rothschild (born 1931), billionaire worth $25 billion; Queen Elizabeth II's financial adviser; part of the Rothschild banking family - Jacob Rothschild (born 1936), investment banker & philanthropist; worth $5 billion or so - Emma Morano (born 1899), oldest known living person and also the oldest woman and the only known living person born in the 1800's - Yisrael Kristal (born 1903), oldest living man and also the oldest living Holocaust survivor - Betty White (born 1922), an actress

So was Chuck Berry. I thought he wasn't planning on seeing his 90th on April 16?

Aye, he's a Da Done Ron-Ron

That's the first of my Ron's gone.

This seems to be a Dutch obituary site compiled from newspaper records that you can search: http://www.mensenlinq.nl/

Let's put it this way, you're more likely to get banned from deathlist than her winning.

Not a chance, unless she pulls off a miracle and gets 50%+ in the first round of voting then she'll simply be crushed by the other person to get through to the second voting round, much like her father did.

I was unaware of this sonnet until I came across it via twitter. Every line of the poem is an anagram of the title. (This is probably where everyone says 'yes, we've known about it for years).

Re the Hume tribute on Mcguinness: Apparently I am very late to the news that John Hume has severe dementia (apparently not mentioned on this forum before), and a journalist pal tells me he is "not very well at all" these days.

I kinda like the notion that this is a 'chilling' website.

Hefner

That's not the cute puppies stage, is it?

He's "getting cards and letters from people he don't even know", meaning family and relatives.SC

I think you're onto something here. Former First Lady Dennis Thatcher got the ball rolling. Who's next d'ya reckon?
