this man has died

 

stain, you're at it again! Already reported in "NEF" thread here

 

Re the queen thing: Maybe we should start a new thread called "Famous pepole who have pulled a muscle or got a bit of a tickly cough" to keep the number of posts up!

 

(I'm joking by the way iain!)

Bobby Shearer, former captain of Rangers, has died after a short illness.

 

As the other Not Famous thread is locked, I'll also add, that along with Shearer & Pietro Rava, a third long-serving football stalwart has died - Johnny Schofield of Birmingham City, at 75.BCFC link and Wiki Page.

The poor mite. I remember well the news with her battle with breast cancer. She was a very sexy woman too & 32 is no age at all.

 

:banghead:

 

 

Why Belinda Emmett & not Gloria Stuart, that's what I'd like to know. :banghead:

Not often you can say that dead 27-year-old has had a good life. Though spare a thought for all those other horses who end up at the Bostik or Pedigree Chum factories.

I didn't know they made Bostik from dead horses. DL can be very educational at times.

Well, at 27 Dessie would be a bit tough for a continental charcuterie.

Shame about Dessie!

 

Being the pernickety kind, I went to check the bios of the 3 abovementioned to see if they had died at aged 27, as MPFC suggests. I used that admirable site "Wikipedia" (tag line "bastion of all that is irrefutable"). The results were as follows:

 

Janis Joplin January 19, 1943 - October 4, 1970

Kurt Donald (tee-hee!) Cobain February 20, 1967 - c. April 5, 1994

So they check out, then

Jim Morrison "he is a singer"

 

WTF?!!!

 

Check for yourselves. Even that isn't right (surely it should say "was"). I'm sure they'll update the link... eventually, but that's the sum total of information they have on the "Lizard King" at the moment!

I got this page on a redirect when I clicked on your link, but when I searched for "James Morrison" I got a link to the page you referenced.

A lot of Doors fans are still in denial and insist that Jim Morrison is still alive.

Given that Morrison was influenced by the works of Rimbaud they feel that he faked his own death to escape the limelight. Coupled with the fact that Pamela Courson and the coroner who signed the death certificate were the only ones to have seen his body that drives the rumour even further.

Nadarajah Raviraj Sri Lankan lawyer. Didn't go peacefully in his sleep

 

 

Re Morrison; assuming he didn't fake it, Dec 8 1943 - July 3 1971, 27 years old when he died. I was only joshing re Dessie but if anyone wants to get anorakish Hendrix was a few weeks short of his twenty eigth birthday as well. Nov 27 1942 - Sept 18 1970.

 

Go well, all you twenty seven year olds out there.
