Near misses 2006

[Six 23]

To those of you of a certain age, or disposition, or for those of you who have had to watch/suffer it via kids Yes, really... you'll probably be familiar with one of the characters of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a certain Rita Repulsa. I kid you not. Anyway, the actress who played her, died recently. I must admit she doesn't look in her 50's in that photo, but she must've been.

 

From Yahoo Japan:

Soga Machiko passed away today at the age of 68. She was found in her apartment home by a friend around noon on May 7th. She was a Tokyo graduate with one living relative who visited the same day as she died. As an actress she played the role of a villain many times in tokusatsu sfx programs. Around June last year it was announced that she had a terminal physical condition.

 

 

My two nephews were little kids when the Power Rangers was a huge hit, and I had to suffer it whenever they came to stay. That Rita was soooo annoying, I guess that was the point though, so well done her!! My nephews are both fathers now, so I hope something equally terrible is watched 24/7 by their children in a couple of years time!

actually that reported death has now been taken off wikipedia so may be another fake.I will check it out

Iain, stop lying & stop posting sh*t.

 

The edit page of Nicholas Courtney on Wikipedia reveals that the last edit was on the 20th April.

You have just made this up this morning.

 

I'm sure, like many of us, you're disappointed it's so quiet on the deaths front, but there's no need to keep making up false rumours, lies & deaths. It just makes you look stupid, if nothing else.

 

Why the F**k do you do it? It only pisses everybody off.

A lot of the DL 50 were chosen due to you exagerrating their condition (Moore, Heston, LBJ) & then you keep moaning, more loudly than others, of the misses, which were misses as the "reliable" news got buried under all your sh*t.

 

If you've got proper news or deaths to post, fine, but stop posting this utter sh*t.

No wonder Tempus has gone..

Iain,

 

Also stop relying on Wikipedia as a source for reporting deaths. As you can see on numerous occassions that it's used as a frequent place for people to plant a hoax

Keep up the good work Iain. Don't let the buggers get you down.

Indeed. Today's glorious example of a Wikipedia hoax:

 

Prof. Dr. Kim, 55, professor of pomology, Chungbuk National University, heart attack. [citation needed]

 

I don't know whether to laugh or cry....

at first I thought that said "pornology", but on closer inspection it's "pomology", which is the study of fruit. I wonder if there is a field of pornology? Only about 2 billion practitioners out there.....

 

Dr. Kim could be a real death, albeit not a very important one

And there was me thinking that you were exceptionally tall for a moment...

 

Wouldn't it be great if there was such a thing as a Professor of Pornology? I think I could be quite eminent in such a field, especially in its history since the late seventies.

 

'And now, ladies and gentleman, will you please rise (gnuk, gnuk) for Professor Brinsworth, the world's most leading pornologist!'

 

I'd be dedicated n'all. At a stroke I would probably win a Nobel Prize for my practical studies.

 

Sorry, I'll get my (lab)coat...

Soviet-era satirist Zinovyev dies

 

Alexander Zinovyev, the dissident Soviet satirist who wrote The Yawning Heights and Homo Soveticus, has died of cancer in Moscow, aged 83.

 

The philosopher was exiled from the USSR for more than 20 years after his "sociological stories" painted an unflattering portrait of Soviet life.

Iain you really must stop this. This should be a site for anyone but for the first time I feel compelled to activate my ignore settings for your posts. I cannot remember a single one that has been of interest. There is post whoring and then there is a different category entirely for this kind of drip, drip brain erosion. I'm going to look at my boxes now.

Please yourself.Anyway it is with the deepest sadness that I have to announce the passing today of Yossi Banai at the age of 76.He was simply a genius in his field

Hardly surprising he was a genius in his field, considering "his field" was singing Jacques Brel songs in Hebrew. Can't imagine there's a plethora of artistes in that category.

 

As for your gran, well there's a dedicated thread for things like that, but, interestingly I note that she died the same day as Bob Marley, who also died 25 years ago today. Co-incidence?
