Lady Die 63 Posted October 12, 2005 I have a video at home of Status Quo's "farewell tour" in 1984. 21 years on, none of them are dead yet. (I am having a bitch of a day at work so this is today's first post) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I am having a bitch of a day at work so this is today's first post) Oh dear, work getting in the way of Deathlist? Those pesky employers and their ridiculous expectations that you should actually WORK whilst they're paying you. Whatever next? I, on the other hand, am happily working hard...

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted October 12, 2005 Those pesky employers and their ridiculous expectations that you should actually WORK whilst they're paying you. Whatever next? I, on the other hand, am happily working hard... I am coming under increasing pressure from my management at work not to spend so much time on Death List and other non work related sites. I'm going to speak to my union about this blatant harassment and intimidation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bury The Bastard 2 Posted October 17, 2005 Then again, he missed a trick when he didn't enter slimmer of the year.

Goodnight Vienna 2 Posted October 18, 2005 "It's three years since musician Chris Rea defied one-in-five odds by surviving surgery to remove his pancreas and duodenum (leaving him with diabetes in the process), partially cut his stomach, re-attach his intestines, draw four new bile ducts from his liver and re-site his lungs." This is a quote from a website I found.... 3 years with the insides like Frankensteins monster, he then went on to claim he has never felt better in his life... Down to 11 stone from 15 stone .... (that will be the very heavy pancreas & duodenum). I think he's a brave chappy but I do think he's living on borrowed time.... VIENNA xxxxx 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted March 9, 2006 Is Chris Rea getting better ? Since his illness a couple of years back, he's not getting fitter ... My brother, a fan, reckons that CR is talking as though he ain't got too long. And he's just started his 'Final Tour'. Hello; Just to let you know... Although Chris Rea - as we know - is on his farewell tour currently, he will start a whole new project afterwards. He will join a three-member band called "Memphis fireflies". You can read all about his farewell tour on my site (www.chrisrea.nl) and I just started building a special at www.memphisfireflies.com. This week was his birthday (55) and let's hope he has many years to come !! REAgards, Bart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I realize that this an older thread, it doesn't look like he's going to be a viable candidate for some years yet, unless someone knows something I don't (which is quite possible).

I asked a legitimate question. ok well I've tried and I've tried but hey...I honestly do not see a question here at all, or is it just me!!! quality not quantity rings a bell here..hmmm sounds familiar these days. all it says to me is that a Rank system overseen by Mods is needed now...it's getting to the stage that too many people feel things are getting sour..posts for posts sake..ya know....get my quota up, I have to agree with the majority now it really is getting silly, and If ya don't know what I'm referring too then perhaps you shouldn't be posting in the 1st place..OOhhh controversy...god we love it !!!!
