Tomb raider 9 Posted February 17, 2010 Is it me or are most of the hotel deaths drugs-related? 'Live the wild life, become a rockstar, die young, vomiting or in some other embarassing pose in some cheap sh*thole motel...' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,066 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) This. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-32958574 It seems to me that every time a UK resident dies on holiday, a balcony is implicated. There seem to be quire a lot of balcony deaths. Fear the Balcony! Edited June 1, 2015 by DevonDeathTrip Post moved to 'Hotels' thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,066 Posted October 22, 2016 No context is sufficient for perjorative use of that word I'll not go somewhere where someone is being obsequious to your face and joking about your sexuality behind your back. That's not being over sensitive, it's being human and respectful of others. No customer should be seen as a second class human being. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picked on the Poker Tourney, that's all I know and all I wrote. He recently stepped down as executive chair, so that's when you knew something was up. But he "only" had stage 2 pancreatic cancer, if I recall correctly. And as he survived 2020, he was unpicked in the 2021 DDP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every time I've checked up on him over the last couple years he's always been so upbeat and optimistic. Didn't see that he stepped down... guess I'd been lulled to sleep.
