Yeah, KiwiFarmers are, 9 times out of 10, significantly worse and more tragic than the lolcows they fixate on.

Only heard this from one source and it's almost certainly total bollocks, but it amused me enough so.... Radio 2 listeners may be aware that Rylan Clarke-Neal has recently split up from his husband. Apparently this is because he caught Rylan in bed with G&reth B&le.

Crossposting here as he was Ray-Ray D'Abaldo, who shot Silvio and nearly killed Patsy Parisi in The Sopranos' penultimate episode.

Returning to live performances for the first time since this thread was started in benefit gigs for former DDP FFBI pick Laura Nuttall

Looking through the usernames, we used to have a poster called "Holy Diver" who joined four years before Ronnie James Dio died (and three before he was diagnosed with cancer).

Andre Thysse, South African pugilist who lost world title fights at super-middleweight to Northern Ireland's Brian Magee and Germany's Markus Beyer in the early 2000s, dead from COVID at 52.

Similarly, Italian author Mario Monicelli committing suicide aged 95 just seems like impatience.

Roger Moore died the day after the Manchester Arena bombing I think. Similarly Amy Winehouse dying the day after (before?) yr Norwegian Nazi lad went crazy on that island. We can quickly mention all the usual names dropped in these threads: CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley (died the same day as JFK) Sergei Prokofiev (same day as Stalin) and Rudyard Kipling (George V). Indeed, PM Stanley Baldwin mentioning to Edward VIII "hey, did you hear Rudyard Kipling died" the day after his father carked it meant the pair never enjoyed a particularly cordial relationship.

Vaguely reminiscent of the diversion a thread took on here five years ago when, under the old DDP rules, a unique joker who died an unnatural death under the age of 30 on their birthday which happened to be the 13th of the month would get you 50 points for a single death. We didn't find anyone who matched all criteria, but two people who died unnatural deaths on their birthday under the age of 30 were the outlaw Sam Bass (injuries sustained in a gunfight aged 27) and baseball player Bob Moose (car crash on his 29th birthday).

Yeah, I doubt he's at the centre of an Icelandic Epstein ring. I think he just texted his dick pic to a 15-year-old.

Could be a shout: champion ultramarathoner Fred Zalokar has gone missing during a run in Yosemite.

First thought was "Christ David Jason's aged"

Back in the office I've not seen in over a year there's a massive blown-up photo of an episode of "Cross Wits" solely because there's a guy in our New York headquarters called Tom O'Connor.

Williams Martinez, Uruguayan defender who had a brief spell at West Brom (scoring against Everton in a 2-2 draw back in the 06/07 season) but spent most of his career in his home country, dead at 38.

Priestly would absolutely piss a QO. Dunno what the cut-off point is for darts players getting a QO though: Morihiro Hashimoto played three times in the World Cup and twice at Ally Pally (eliminating Paul Lim in 2014) and didn't get a QO. Bryan White, who never played a TV match, did QO.

Jake Adams, best known for the Exploited College Girls series and (apparently) host of the largest adult industries house parties, dead at 29 in a motorbike crash.

Viking funeral?

Something to be said for the Fabulous Moolah having her entire Wikipedia entry (with the exception of the bits alleging, well, you know) on her grave:

American character actor John Petlock - best known to you as either Dan Marsh in Dallas or Uncle Phil's partner at the law firm Henry Furth in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is listed as dying in 2020 on IMDB. However I can't find any news reports of this from a brief Google/search of the socials. The fact that he shares his name with a murderer makes it a little harder to research as well. Any ideas?

This means every wrestler that faced Hulk Hogan at the first six Wrestlemanias are now dead. Sergeant Slaughter is next up on the list...

Orndorff's son posting an even more telling video, telling us Mr Wonderful is dead.

Long-time DDP pick Ernie Moss has finally died aged 71.

Mensur Suljovic withdraws from the Matchplay for "medical reasons". Not the first time he's pulled out of a tournament on health grounds.

Max Griggs, president of the R Griggs group - as in the owners of Dr Martens - dead. He also formed the football team Rushden and Diamonds, taking them from non-league obscurity to the professional ranks and then swiftly back down again.
