    I should think most people are sick of hearing about it. I know I am.

    Thats the truth.

     

    It's not so much the Hillsborough thing it's the lying. These things have a way of growing irrespective of the topic. When they can't issue a straightforward denial and kill it it leaves them open to any other mud that gets flung (the false address is another example).

    Lost the appeal on the travel ban. Still stating he wants to keep the residents of America safe. Do that. Take away the right to bear arms from crazies.

     

    Trump's position on the Second Amendment: sacrosanct.

     

    He's not at war with the establishment...he's at war with everyone.

    He's playing to his core constituency. I try to do what I said and the liberal judges try to block me. Give me more power and i'll get things done.

    I wouldn't call Joost random. He was nearing his life expectancy, so it wasn't that surprising.

    He could die this year, he could go on two years. He was never a dead cert. Dead certs on the list are Christie, Downie, Bracknell, Michael and they still could make the year (well, not all of them for sure...)

     

    You're definition of dead cert then is somone who could die sooner than people who aren't dead certs but not definitely.

    I think we could lose the ability to choose some interesting people if we eliminate the daily mail. If it was to be banned, there would need to be an alternate...

    Sick website wants to ban free speech, shocker.

    She was always on the tellybox in the 90s doing some daft thing or other, and then for some reason hasn't been seen for years now. Had forgotten about her to be honest. Any drug or alcohol related death is a tragedy in my view. Nature can be cruel with things like cancer but addiction is people being cruel to themselves.

     

     

    ??? According to science, everything that happens obeys the laws of nature. In fact, the medieval Cartesian view that there is a ghost with causal powers in the brain-machine is currently regarded as ridiculous by scientists. No death is a tragedy since everything that happens obeys the laws of nature.

     

    Cartesian relates to Descartes 17th Century; medieval 5-15th Century.

    I suspect that Parfitt and Adams died at the wrong time. Don't think they'll get on tbh.

     

    I agree on Parfitt, but Adams did shitloads for BBC Radio, that an archive piece can be played any quiet week. There was a five month delay once, but I can't mind who off the top of my head.

     

     

     

    Indeed harsh on Parfitt who on being a recognised name and face was enough of a national figure to trump much Last Word fodder. Strangely for a man who's riffing was reliable and precise the timing of his death was very bad.

     

    It wasn't whatever he wanted.

    There are no rules, which is why it's difficult to predict. It's not about obituraries it's about celebrating lives.
