    Sad news that Marni Nixon has died aged 86 from breast cancer. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/26/arts/music/marni-nixon-singer-soprano-dies-86.html?_r=0 She dubbed Deborah Kerr in “The King and I,” Natalie Wood in “West Side Story” and Audrey Hepburn in “My Fair Lady,” among many others. A DDP team awaits the qo. She will not go unsung, I'm sure.

    Every pathetic whinger in the queue at Dover. Honestly, who goes on any sort of journey without having food and drink? "Where's my Government water?" they whine. After their country has voted to come out of Europe, they complain they can't get into it. Morons.

    The dead of 2016

    This comment was too obvious. Another obvious comment - the hearse will get to the cemetery and the doors will fall off and the driver will be ejected from the seat into the hole in the ground.
