Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 3, 2006 Ya gotta hate it when your hard core rock'n'roll lifestyle is brought to an abrupt end by a farming/gardening accident. And them'uns died young, too. I would just hate to die in a gardening accident. And if they say the best die young then I better be watching my steps. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,235 Posted January 3, 2006 Indeed, a teacher at my old school died in his garden. There were two theories: 1: He had a heart attack. 2: He electrocuted himself while cutting the grass. Although theory two is rather humerous, I think I believe the first.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were two theories: 1: He had a heart attack. 2: He electrocuted himself while cutting the grass. Although theory two is rather humerous, I think I believe the first.... Maybe it was a garden troll that frightened the teacher? The teacher then suffered a massive heart attack and fell to die in his\her garden? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although theory two is rather humerous, I think I believe the first.... The third theory which tyou overlooked was that he saw your picture in the paper and the memory of you sent him into eternal rapture..... ((quite surprised you didnt think of that one yourself Winnie) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Small chap was he, perhaps he had an altercation with a weed killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Warmed Up 3 Posted January 3, 2006 friend of my mums died in a gardening accident. was putting a new bit of glass on the roof of his greenhouse, over balanced and fell right through it, smashing the rest of the glass in the process and severing a main artery. poor sod bled to death. thought it was supposed to be a relaxing pastime !!

Octopus of Odstock 2,215 Posted January 3, 2006 Vittorio Brambilla, a racing driver (famous for crashing his car as he took his only Grand Prix win), survived many a crash, including a serious head injury in 1978, only to die, whilst trimming his hedges in the garden. Dangerous places these gardens. I had a science teacher who died in the middle of a paper aeroplane competition. Now that's unusual one. Universially hated by all students he was. None of this has anything to do with dead pop stars has it?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticky Threads 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Nope, but in the absence of a gardening and paper aeroplane fatality thread, this is as good a place to put it as any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Warmed Up 3 Posted January 3, 2006 Dulcie Gray (of Howards Way fame and loads before) likes gardening. 87 this year. could be something on the card there ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,682 Posted January 4, 2006 in the absence of a gardening and paper aeroplane fatality thread F**k's sake! Start one, then we could have cultural exchange visits because the posters on the pop star thread could drop in to the gardening one and discuss that much over-looked thrash outfit: Lawnmother Deth.

Hey! You're the one who posted the link to that site in the first place! All I did was point out that there was a 'farming' category inamongst categories such as 'inhalation of own vomit', 'heroin', and 'mysterious circumstances'. If I were a rock star, I know which category I wouldn't want to be in. No need to get snippy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the problem with words on a screen, often missing the snide grin that goes with 'em. Imagine my smokin' bad-attitude fox avatar saying these things.

Deadornot 12 Posted January 5, 2006 Probably the most heard dead pop star has to be Freddie Mercury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Warmed Up 3 Posted January 5, 2006 No one thought of the King ? Gotta be Elvis . The most famous popstar of them all. Over rated, but they make millions of dollars out of him every year ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slave to the Grave 26 Posted January 5, 2006 Probably the most heard dead pop star has to be Freddie Mercury On mainland Europe (well France anyway) it would have to be Bob Marley. In the world I'd guess at Elvis. In the SttG house at the moment, probably Otis Redding. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
