dead Pope Benedict XVI

[Exu 250]

Home - BBC News

 

BBC take on it.

 

Had both him and Pele in my DDP 2023. Bugger!

[Octopus of Odstock 2,186]

In the last three days, every time I've dropped Frank Field from my DDP team (He's clearly terminally ill, but is it long-term?) someone has died. Pele, Strife and now Pope Benny.

 

It's almost as if someone is trying to tell me something...

[Summer in Transylvania 2,171]

Dear Lord, RIP Pope Benny, this Earth no longer has the distinction of housing two popes at once.

For now. 

 

 

Fully expect Francis to reitre in the next 18 months or so now. He was never gonna retire if he could help it while Benny was still alive and have 2 retired Popes

[The Doctor 88]

Like I have already said, oldest living created cardinal, the last one created by Paul VI back in 1977.

Of course you did. 

It’s known as rhetoric, old chap

[Jonah 180]

Rest in peace.

 

I wonder how long he would have lived had he not retired, especially given that his retirement lasted longer than his reign as pope.

[Whitehouse 872]

Fuck!!

You selfish bustard! Quit premature as Pope and now quit premature at life! Couldn't hold on for a few hours then?

Djeez! First time ever I need TWO subs next year!!

[ladyfiona 2,574]

I'm happy. I got him in 3 deadpools THIS year including hares deadpool and I get bonus points for it being 31st. I feel sorry for all the people running deadpools having to deal with this headache though.

 

I need to quickly edit one submission though as I have Morgan Freeman as a sub, lol.

If I was you I'd write an angry letter to the Vatican. They are too close to God and the devil so I consider it cheating.;)

Shit.

[Neol Edmunds 73]

I dropped him from my 2023 list on grounds of resilience. Smiling like a dog that has just run off with a string of sausages at my bonus point.

[Tower1 93]

It's ironic that he has died today when Christians all over the world will be celebrating.

[BurninCarlos 10]

Finally the old diddler and cover-upper is gone. Hope he suffered. If anyone deserves it, it's people like Ratzinger.

And HELL to be sure is at Paris or Rome.

How happy for us that it is not at home!

RIP Pope Benedict.

 

The Ancient old prick didn't even make it to the 2023 list, nevertheless we will remember him for his great service to all his fellow peoples, You look after our late queen in the heavens above.

[Phantom 2,531]

Oh well, I had hom on my list for next year. Even though I submitted my DDP yesterday, I can't remember who I put as my first sub

I feel you man same thing happened to me

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,337]

I wonder  who the committee will replace him and some others  with as there is no doubt in my mind  that Pope Benedict,  Barbara Walters and Pele would all have featured in next year's list. 

Liza Minnelli? Julie Goodyear? Pope Francis? Ethel Kennedy?

If Denis Law replacing Betty White is any guide the sub will be someone with a terminal medical condition but probably not that he close to the end. 

[arghton 6,695]

Well Mahathir Mohamad, George Alagiah and Joanne Woodward, many others are still alive all very likely to die in 2023. Frank Field, Jiang Zemi-Oh, wait.

[The Great Cornholio 902]

He couldn't have waited one day... Betty White all over again.

Given the grief they have got for missing Benedict they would be as well going with Francis. 
 

Clearly on 31st December 2021 they thought Benedict still had 365 days left in him. Bet they feel like right silly bastards that he only made it to 364 days!
