The Dead - 2007

[themaninblack 2,112]

Bloody hell, the more I read about this woman, the more I dislike her. If the government ever need an effective anti-drugs campaign, they should forget their 'Heroin Screws You Up' or Zammo Maguire Just Saying No! Just print a picture of this...this...thing wearing a frigging snakeskin corset to her godson's sports day.Apparently her greatest claim to 'fame' other than looking like a dogs bum with a stupid hat on was that she 'discovered' Sophie Dahl. So she managed to fathom the fact that a good-looking blonde with ample bazoomas may be attractive? Hardly on a par with Rutherford, Crick or Einstein. Did anyone outside a small coterie of fashion journalists ever know this woman existed?

eccentric fashion journalist Isabela Blow has died at 49.

 

A drugs overdose

 

You mention Sophie Dahl. Whenever there's any coverage about her, they always have to mention her Grandfather Roald, they never mention her Grandfather from her father's side or indeed her father who is....?

[dave 0]

well there doesnt seem to be any deaths at all to report in the last 24 hours so I might as well pay tribute to my gran who died 26 years ago today .Rest in Peace gran

 

 

then again I could mention the death of travel writer Lesley Blanch aged 102.J

 

and arch Thatcherite businessman Sir Campbell Fraser has bought it

[themaninblack 2,112]

Correct. Julian Holloway. Grandfather Stanley...

It must be a living Hell for you.

 

Do you think now might be a good time to step beyond the comfort of the Wikipedia deaths page and venture in to the great yonder of the rest of the world wide web? Just a thought.

 

P.S Dave/Iain/Stan/Guest get an avatar !!

[harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684]

Iain, go to the How To thread on DL extra-curricular, all will be made clear.

 

may I suggest this pic of Timothy Potter, Trainspotter...

 

[honez 79]

how do i get an avatoir?

Avatar, Aviator or Abattoir? I believe there is a subtle difference between the three, and how one would go about getting them.

was he not mentioned on the ideas and possibilities thread or somewhere?

Yahweh Ben Yahweh has died.

 

A link might be useful:

Yahweh ben Yahweh

 

I am keeping my fingers crossed for a UK obit

 

 

Me too. It is a shame that no British paper has mentioned him yet, he was an interesting chap. I think the obits pages of The Times or The Telegraph would be brightened up with tales of black separatism and mass murder in 1980s Florida .

 

The New York Times has done him justice, let us hope that a British broadsheet takes the lead in good journalism and does the same.

There is finally a U.K. obituary for Yahweh Ben Yahweh in the Guardian

 

(It is the last obit at the bottom of the "Obituaries in the News" page )

[VSBfromH 74]

John K Lattimer has finally stopped taking the piss!

[Octopus of Odstock 2,186]

Firstly, King Malietoa II got a UK obit today.

 

 

... and the head of Taleban's military, the shady & downright nasty Mullah Dadullah has been killed in fighting.

[dave 0]

I suppose I could mention the passing of writer Philip Craig

 

or soul singer Alexander Brown of the Persuaders death ,but probably nobodys ever heard of them anyway

 

p.s do you like my new avatar

[Captain Oates 21]

p.s do you like my new avatar

I find it rather disturbing!

Not sure if that's because of the blood and gore or because of the re-incarnation factor.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

Mullah Dadullah is dead? I only suggested him in the ideas thread a fortnight ago. That was very obliging of him.

[Windsor 2,233]

I'd go with the latter.
