Tomb raider 9 Posted December 20, 2009 Okay, I agree, that's bollocks. The French can't rock. Nor can , by the way... Although they are usually quite familiar with the work of Monty Python. I thought that clip was great by the way. Wouldn't it have been even better if it had been sung in Dutch? I very much doubt it. I think that the Toppers' music is beyond rescue, no matter what language they abuse... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 606 Posted December 21, 2009 Next year's tour has been cancelled. Go on, put him on next year's list. Think of all the fun you'll have. I didn't think he'd be back to ample health to continue his Tour 66 tour in Amiens on 8 January after such surgery complications. Providing he lives (!), will he reschedule the rest of the tour? It was supposed to be his farewell tour and it seems a bit of a damp squib to end on, unless he dies of course, which will be the ultimate finale. I'm tempted to put him on my 2010 list but I'm not sure I can bring myself to to be honest. Good for another 15 years at least in my opinion. Oh, and the Toppers were a bit embarrassing at Eurovision. I'd like to see the bring a bit of class back to Dutch Eurovision entries personally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about giving me a little competition? I know Vaagy would like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaten to it by "Tomb Raider" It's not a race, SP! Though I must admit that it felt jolly good to be the first to announce Waldheim's death back in 2007... I'll die peacefully if that's the only achievement I'll ever make in my life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As in, she has tried once, so there is a chance she will try again in the future. Possibly... Ah, now I get it... Somehow I don't think the lady can fall back on a close and warm family which would greatly benefit her recovery, so you might be right. I read somewhere that her boyfriend was the brother of the doctor that treated Johnny last month for his heart problems and got beaten up for it. (Funny way to say 'thanks'...)

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted October 10, 2012 If anyone would like to buy me a ticket (gratis obviously as I'm currently worthless dolescum once again) I shall report on his health and whether he looks ready to kick the bucket anytime soon. Not particularly a fan but he puts on a good show, and of course I will be doing francophile deadpoolers a favour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,479 Posted March 9, 2017 I don't really know much about him - knew of him, of course - but my wife assures me Hallyday is a massive name in music terms, so infinitely Deathlist-able if he's around next January. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted March 9, 2017 Hell yeah - he's a nailed on obit; Britain has always has a curious interest in his massive domestic fame and inability to export it. He's their Cliff Richard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's their Cliff Richard. Am told George Harrison was at Cannes festival in early 70s when he heard the familiar Beatles-esque fan shrieks and started to get antisocial, until he realised the excited shrieks were for Hallyday who appeared at the door and breathed a sigh of relief. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
