philheybrookbay 439 Posted April 20, 2016 When I heard in work, it was a outright exclaim of "Another one this fucking year"? As much as Bowie was a shock, this one is right out of the blue- no comment in advance, nothing. A real loss to comedy. "We'd like to apologise to our viewers in the North. It must be awful for you". God speed Victoria. x 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR976evil 906 Posted April 20, 2016 A great tribute would be if cafe and restaurant staff up and down the nation would spend the next few days responding to customers' orders with "Is it on the trolley?" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God speed Victoria. x I think what is happening here is that because of budget cuts the four horsemen of the apocalypse are faced with becoming the three horsemen of the apocalypse so Death is going for high profile targets to make it look like he is really putting the effort in before the redundancy notice heads his way "Right whose next Bob Dylan (crosses off list) ha ha - Take that Famine" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No newspaper obit yet, but found this... http://www.web-fi.net/PressRelease_20160418.pdf Emile Ford's been in my DDP team since 2011, and strangely, a unique selection each time. Surely there must be a QO in the offing soon! Edit: That's if it's true of course; a google search shows one source, "St Lucia On Line", though the story no longer appears on their site. Wiki has has him dead, but their source is the same press release you link! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
