    Why the fuck are you reading The Sun?

     

    Why the fuck can't you take at least a week for a walk?

     

    "I was trying to fit in"

    "I see that I haven't"

    "I'll take a break"

    "You guys are probably right this doom scrolling isn't good for me"

     

     

    Ok, the last one is made up.

    Take a deeeeeeep breath. And really take a break.

    Watching him in tonight’s Corrie and he looks pretty well for 91. Even had outdoor filmed scenes which older soap cast members often don’t tend to do after a certain age particularly in Winter.

     

    Weren't you on a bus to somewhere?

    Well, take for example, Dame Judi Dench. I can see her in the Mollie Sugden thread, the Bond thread, the Character actors thread, the Dead of XXXX thread and possibly a few more. (Didn't she rap as well, which qualifies her for the rappers thread?).

     

    It's all personal preference, I like to draw attention to what I know them best for, or if there is some interesting nugget on a thread where the death has already been mentioned elsewhere. But I will only cross-post once. 

     

    Oh I'm in no position to demand or even suggest a damn thing, I'm inconsistent with my deadpooling at best.  Just remembered it had been brought up before and why it was the way it was.

    Oh not this fucking conversation again.

    Change the record guys.

     

    Ah yes, its not new.

    And, oh blow me*. I was just saying cause it was already mentioned (again).

     

     

     

    *For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, from anybody whomsoever this is a fkin joke.

    Well, considering they had Guy de Maupassant under M. I questioned the logic behind that. The only response that I got was "Do you want this book or not?" 

     

    That's what I meant, not only do they not know, they are inconsistent. I should know, my first job out of school was on the book counter at WH Smith. I spent more time reading the books than attempting to sell them.

    I cannot be arsed with all that cross-posting, unless it is to another category of which I am fond. 

     

    Nothing to stop someone (and I'm thinking of certain Forum users) obsessively taking on the role of cross-poster. It would certainly clutter up the old search engine however.

     

    Well, I'm reading it as an attempt to actually reduce cross-posting. i.e. only in 2 places, 1 cat and 1 here. But could be wrong on that.

    It can certainly be annoying to see some little known luminary cross-posted to about 15 different places. Toast can probably do a better job of explaining.

     And yet a visit to the bookstore the other week as my daughter wanted a copy of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, they had it filed under D

     

    Just can't get the staff, you need a qualification to lend a book but not to sell one :evil2:

    Posting here because he could go in about four different categories

     

    According to Ms @Toast all deaths should go here and in their respective categories. Unless I'm misreading somehow.

     

    This makes one place all the years deaths are located and each category is up to date. I think the original idea was to

    keep cross-posting down to two places (outside of individual pools). Also you had only to look at one thread for all the

    deaths of the year. Made sense to me.

     

    You'd already know far better than me about that of course, just putting the laymans view on it.

     

    Sadly I think in practice it doesn't seem to work that way very well, as not enough people are aware.

    Fear not, Deathlist has a thread for most occasions :)

     

    Aye thanks.

    Possibly not brought to mind because there's far more base jumpers than human flies (if that's exactly what you'd call him).

    So far as I know your actual parachute jumpers always take the easiest route to the top and mr Robert has never used a parachute.

    But yes, given the subtitle anyway, much closer to this than an actual Darwin.

    Aye! Me too.  I don’t think there’ll be much voting from me for a while.  

     

    I think by the time these came out every place I heard music must already have been an 80's station or something. Really cannot recall a single one of them from memory by looking at the names, probably might if I heard them, but life is already too short.

    Because it’s virtue signalling.  The Icelandic broadcaster and music industry seems fo have been captured by the BDS movement. 

     

    1. Again, says who? You?

    2. Reference?

    3.  Try to answer the original questions....

     

    FFS stop postng your opinion without qualifying it as such. (If only there were a rule could force you on mod preview for that).

     

    I'll just have to follow others and block you in a bit, continuity be damned.

    Congratulations I never considered that for anyone else, Deathers and even Zorders never managed it.

    Iceland look set to withdraw in a pointless act of protest against Israel’s participation.

     

    Source? Deemed pointless by whom? Other that is than by you own good self?

     

    I don't even give a shit about the Eurovision, Gah, what am I doing?

    Good luck getting anything useful out of that tosser.

     

    Oh I know, but I just can't let it slide sometimes.

     

    If it's yet another Opinion Stated As Fact - it really, really grinds my gears and I'll probably never be able to let it go.

    If it's just terrible English and he means it as an opinion - It ought to be called out until he learns to preface it with "I think" or some equivalent. It's still pointless shite but at least not factually incorrect.

     

    I honestly don't know which it is and have little hope of actually correcting it, but one has to try.

    Winston always gets the GBeebians and the flagshaggers going

     

    Well yeah, digging up Harold Wilson, Anthony Eden, Alec Douglas-Home or even Ted Heath is admittedly less likely to rouse the flagshaggers (love that term).

    Is what Thatcher would or wouldn't have thought or done actually germane?

    She was about as divisive a figure as we have ever had as a PM.

    I mean if we could dig up dead ex-leaders for their take on current politics where would we stop exactly?

     

    Would Winston have been pro or anti Brexit?  Now you've got me wondering...Hm, EU....Probably not in fairness if Germany were in it.....

    30 years age difference, still think Iron Mike might do this!

     

    To be honest? I washed my hands of Tyson as a member of the human race after he chewed Holyfields ear off.

     And I still want him to beat some you tube asswipe. Go figure.

    What has really done me in is stopping the weekly cigar since new year (I noticed myself enjoying it too much) and stopping drinking around OH recently (for his benefit; he’s been teetotal for 4 years but is stressed at work so don’t want to trigger him). Never had a sweet tooth at all and won’t get into vaping. So when I crave, I just sit and suffer and piss and whinge. So my apologies if I’m grumpier than usual on here :D

    How could we tell?

     

    I've been off fags and on vapes for 10 years now. Not impressed with the budget naturally but understand it's not aimed at old farts like me.

    I guess I'm still somewhat addicted to nicotine, but less so than previously without a doubt. Have to see if I can be forced to quit vaping as well due to feeling fuck'd by the budget.
