Magere Hein 1,400 Posted September 16, 2015 President of La Societe Guernesiaise, important political figure of Guernsey and a 'world authority on bats' Pat Costen dies after a short illness at 71: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-guernsey-34256916 Not too long ago, she was in the news because two calves 'invaded' her home. From that article: Mrs Costen, originally from Yorkshire, was also the society's archivist and librarian, the head of the junior section and headed up the affiliated Guernsey Bat Group. I guess La Societe Guernesiaise hasn't many members left now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 18, 2015 Saw nowhere to put a professional hurler :-( The Tipperary hurler and footballer Eddie Connolly has died. He had battled brain cancer for two years. The 29-year-old Loughmore-Castleiney native took ill while playing in the Tipperary senior hurling semi-final in 2013, and underwent surgery the following week in Cork.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 20, 2015 His fame is tenuous but I've seen worse. Plus I used to have quite a fish collection once. Joseph R. Geraci, a scientist and veterinarian who was a leading expert in marine mammal medicine and aquatic wildlife conservation and a former official of the National Aquarium in Baltimore, died Sept. 10 at his home in Leesburg, Va. He was 77.

Toast 16,140 Posted September 20, 2015 Brown bread = dead, and it also adds an extra little nuance to my name Toast (another synonym for dead), since toast can be described as brown bread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
