Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted July 21, 2011 DDP pick Bill Boddy died today aged 98 - http://www.motorsportmagazine.co.uk/2011/0...-mbe-1913-2011/ - apt timing on a pretty bad day for journalism all round.... Unique hit for the DDP motor racing team should there be an obit - but as he's a journo of 81 years service and the broadsheets normally honour their own, he should get 8 points. Huzzah! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries...Bill-Boddy.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted July 23, 2011 The first 'Bond girl' Linda Christian has died aged 87 Obviously this is going to be way overlooked due to Ms. Winehouse conking out, but Christian's death is a real shame - though to be really honest, her looks opened doors rather than her acting talent (which was about average) - it's more that she was part of a rapidly dwindling list of leading ladies from the 1950's.

notaguest 16 Posted July 24, 2011 well at least the mods didnt delete the post like they did my entire thread about the Norway shootings.Would love to know why! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted July 24, 2011 well at least the mods didnt delete the post like they did my entire thread about the Norway shootings.Would love to know why! I'd imagine they didn't delete it because I was stating a fact and posting it in a calm way. Your thread was entirely speculative, you were exaggerating claims, you were over excitable and generally quite annoying. I'm sure you're a very nice person in the real world, but on this forum you are too excitable which tends to annoy people. Perhaps you are just too enthusiastic.

Since this is the thread for the Dead of 2011, and she died in 2011, it seems appropriate that she is in this thread. If she has her own thread, then that should be an extra, not a replacement. Otherwise this thread should be entitled: The Dead of 2011 who do not have their own thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted July 24, 2011 well at least the mods didnt delete the post like they did my entire thread about the Norway shootings.Would love to know why! It was deleted because we don't dwell on 'ordinary' peoples lives/deaths. If you took the time to read the first page, you'll see the words ' Candidates must be famous in their own right such that their death is expected to be reported by the UK media' I'd hardly call the kids that were murdered famous. History will remember the slayer, not the victims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
