msc 18,480 Posted July 19, 2013 Pretty sure Paul Bearer talked about the death of Paul Bearer earlier this year He did.

For the fun to die in Maryport, it would have had to arrive in the first place! Well surely the smartest option is to pick a celebrity who is 18-years-old and guaranteed of an obituary (let's say, oooh, Belgian snooker prodigy Luca Brecel), make them your DDP captain, sign up here with that as your username and then bob's your uncle, 30 points.

Yep, as the lyrics state: "Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone It's because I'm the Black Guardian, Turlough, you bastard!"

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted July 19, 2013 Very sad news. It's hard to imagine anyone being this sad about most of today's footballers dying, in 50-60 years' time.... I wonder if this could still happen today, or would today's on-field medics immediately be able to detect a broken neck (or suspected break) no matter how "unobvious" it might be to a lay person?

Red Flag 84 Posted July 19, 2013 In other news, there's talk that Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova, who has been suffering from parotid gland cancer on and off for the last couple of years, will announce his resignation later today, possibly due to another relapse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted July 19, 2013 Resignation confirmed all over the place. He has had a relapse and he made the decision to step down this morning. For someone to leave Barca this close to the start of the season... he must be a goner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 84 Posted July 19, 2013 I dunno. For one the Spanish season doesn't start for another month. And given that this is his 2nd relapse, maybe he's just said "I don't want this interfere again". Barca's form was pretty iffy when he was off sick last season (well, for Barca anyway). I'm no expert but I always got the impression that parotid gland cancer wasn't a particularly serious form - unless of course this latest tumour has popped up somewhere else That said, he'll be on my 2014 list at this rate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
