Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 17, 2016 Wow... that's another music death! Funny thing is, I watched him guest appear on Family Guy just a couple of days ago. Heart attack while on tour. Same way Davy Jones and Gene Pitney died. I worked with an unassuming guy (in a library if any indication) who I only discovered about 9 years later (around 2003 maybe) was the singer in a rock band that was starting to get some decent shows. How did I find that out? By perusing mydeadspace.com one day and BAM there is the story of some band's lead singer dropping over dead on stage in front of like 1000 people. I'm like...NO WAY.....I KNOW that guy! SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scraggy Taters 290 Posted March 17, 2016 Alanis Morissette. Close but not quite. There was rain on my wedding day; and yes, good advice that I just didn't take. I met the man of my dreams, there was no beautiful wife but he did move back to Holland. All unfortunate but not really ironic. Thank you disillusionment... I've asked for the Jagged Little Pill anniversary boxed set for my birthday. Ah indeed, it'll be the 20th anniversary since her album was unleashed upon the more discerning, listening public.. and a damn fine album it was too ! The lyrics to 'You Oughta Know' still ring through my ears when I left my ex-wife.. after I caught her muff-ruffling with another woman, as ya do. (I only left her 'cos she wouldn't share) Obviously you don't mind sharing ST. 'Generosity' 'tis my middle name, DS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Lord F.N. although Mrs Taters (mk II) does me a (somewhat generous & yes, sarnies prepared by someone else always tastes better) packed lunch most days (when I can't be arsed to make up a Spam,grated Red Leicester,sweet onion pickle & finely chopped lettuce '4 slicer'),I'm like the Queen in that I don't carry money on me whilst on my delivery rounds at work.. which don't half pi$$ the Nottingham muggers off. Any tips given by appreciative customers soon get spent at the nearest chippy or Maccie D's.. just to be on the safe side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
