charon 4,943 Posted January 7, 2017 To be fair to SC, smart tellys mean shite like Facebook live will be on their TV, same as YouTube... Tis the modern way. I prefer receiving a letter telling me an uncle died 5 months back tbh. The immediacy of this Age, "grates". 'Death by letter' , possibly not a page turning thread tho...

Well i'very only ever watched one YouTube live broadcast and that was Lemmy's funeral. Sure there may be a time when Facebook Live replaces terrestrial TV channels, but I think we still have a few more years to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted January 7, 2017 The app is in most TVs these days,, and on occasions, I have watched a fair bit of live football on YouTube. Plus live broadcasts of AGMs. They can be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 6, 2020 About 40 students were watching Paola De Simone’s virtual lecture about 20th century world history when she stopped interacting with the slides. When they noticed the professor in distress and struggling to breathe, they asked for her address to call an ambulance, but she did not respond. At one point, De Simone seemed to contact her husband, and students stayed with her on the call until her husband arrived. The 46-year-old college professor, who taught at the Argentine University of Enterprise in Buenos Aires, died shortly after collapsing during the virtual class. The professor had posted on Twitter last week that her coronavirus symptoms had persisted for weeks. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Cornholio 902 Posted October 6, 2020 Didnt Sid James die on stage? I remember my Dad saying that he went to a play Sid James was in and he died while he was floating in the air - plus everyone at the time everyone thought Sid was kidding but then the curtains closed on him and the news announced he was dead the next day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sid James died in the Sunderland theatre that is correct. He didn't reply to the dialogue on the stage. The audience thought it was ad lib Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Cornholio 902 Posted October 6, 2020 3 minutes ago, Leon Brittan said: Sid James died in the Sunderland theatre but to my knowledge it wasn't on stage. I think your confused with Tommy Cooper I was told he was on stage suspended from the ceiling. An extract from Wikipedia: On 26 April 1976, while on a revival tour of The Mating Season, a 1969 farce by the Northern Irish playwright Sam Cree, James suffered a heart attack on stage at the Sunderland Empire Theatre. Actress Olga Lowe thought that he was playing a practical joke at first when he failed to reply to her dialogue. When he failed to reply to her ad libs, she moved towards the wings to seek help. The technical manager, Melvyn James, called for the curtain to close and requested a doctor, while the audience – who were unaware of what was happening – laughed, believing the events to be part of the show. He was taken to the Sunderland Royal Hospital by ambulance, but was pronounced dead on arrival. He was 62.[16] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Cornholio 902 Posted October 6, 2020 Just to follow this up, this article claims that Sid James haunts the Sunderland theatre and that people have seen a white orb resembling him only yards away from where he died. Not sure if I believe it, me being an atheist and all, but really interesting read. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/theatre-lover-catches-ghost-sid-11498050 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
