Dead Relatives - old photos from the 20th century and before
Toast replied to The Great Cornholio's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
This is probably the oldest family photo I have. It's on glass. Aunt Agnes, 1829 - 1899. She was the elder half-sister of my great-grandfather - and also his first cousin. Agnes was the youngest of five children but her father died a few months after she was born, and her mother then shacked up with his brother. At that time the Church of England prohibited marriage between in-laws, so they "lived in sin" for a while, producing two more children including my great-grandfather. They married in 1835 away from their home parish, presumably to beat the new Marriages Act which would have legally prohibited their marriage. Better to fall foul of the Church than the Law! Such marriages remained illegal until 1921. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deceased_Wife's_Sister's_Marriage_Act_1907- 54 replies

Here is an interesting lady who is (I think) my second cousin three times removed. Some sort of distant cousin anyway. I see a distinct resemblance to my mother. Esmeralda Lock https://www.aboutbridgnorth.com/esmeralda-the-gypsy/- 54 replies

Bit of a mixed message, no? -
My old rustbucket passed the MOT with nothing seriously needing doing Or more accurately, addressing the advisories would merely be a waste of money.

"Dead, died, death. We are grown ups and should be afraid of these words. " I meant, of course "Dead, died, death. We are grown ups and shouldn't be afraid of these words."

I put the list through a randomiser, but could not bring myself to vote for the person who came top. So I voted for the one at the bottom. Bob Barker

That was the "nul points" one, wasn't it? I've heard worse!

Since this is the Death List site, I would like to see a ban on all the twee euphemisms like "passed". Dead, died, death. We are grown ups and shouldn't be afraid of these words. I don't mind the more jocular ones once in a while, eg fell off the perch, kicked the bucket etc. The ones that you don't imagine being said in a hushed tone.

Minimalists (and other classical composers/musicians)
Toast replied to harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy's topic in DeathList Forum
Perhaps it's time to drop "Minimalists" from the thread title, as "Classical Composers and Musicians" is an adequate description, and clearer. -
