Gooseberry Crumble 5,341 Posted January 5, 2017 I think we could do with having a number of ageing goddesses/flamboyant Screen Queens types . Their very welcome and Gina Lollobrigida would have been an excellent addition to the list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the pneumonia, which can be fatal especially to old people. But I'll let you off, because you probably can't spell it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing else this isn't a Colin Meads or a Mario Soares here. But in recent months there's been press reports of legal wrangling over her will and guardianship hence a strong sign that all is not well and making her a strong contender for list consideration.

deadsox 894 Posted February 1, 2017 STOP SAYING "DEAD AT" AS THOUGH MINOR ACTORS ARE POPE JFK THE THIRD OR SOMETHING FOR FUCKS SAKE Not sure what your problem with "dead at" is Casey. It's a normal and acceptable phrase for obits. Even humble folks get a "dead at" whatever age they are in their obituaries. I still chuckle when someone is "dead at 69" because I think "well at least he died happy". But that's just me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,522 Posted February 1, 2017 I'm an old-fashioned obituary kinda guy. I like it to be Joe Bloggs, guy who did x, y and z, dead at 95. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,139 Posted February 1, 2017 I'm an old-fashioned obituary kinda guy. I like it to be Joe Bloggs, guy who did x, y and z, dead at 95. It's all part of the txtspk era. Everything is shortened to inelegance. Once it would have been "Joe Bloggs, guy who did x, y and z, has died at the age of 95" It's similar with birthdays. Everyone "turns" now. Used to be "My brother will be 21 next week" or "Joe Bloggs will celebrate his 95th birthday on Sunday". Now we hear "My brother turns 21 next week" or "Joe Bloggs will turn 95 on Sunday". I miss the old ways. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
