His death won't sitwell with his creditors.

Adam Sutler and Peter Creedy die the same year. Coincidence?

Spoiler

Yes.

Christopher Morahan, who directed Pigott-Smith in The Jewel in the Crown, apparently died too yesterday, going by several  in the know tweets. He'd have been 87.

Not sure this guy's job title or what he did, so let's plop it here in the catch-all.
 

Glenn O’Brien, an influential writer and editor who was a social fixture in the downtown Manhattan art, music and fashion world for a half-century, died of pneumonia on Friday in Manhattan. He was 70.  He had been treated for an undisclosed illness for several years and contracted pneumonia a week ago.

In 1971, Andy Warhol hired O'Brien to work on — and shortly thereafter, edit — Interview, Mr. Warhol’s take on a celebrity magazine.

If you don't know who he was or what he did, how can you call him "influential"?  Or is this just "copy and paste"?

[Spade_Cooley 9,022]

See I had heard of him: he was the style columnist for American GQ for fucking ages and was apparently the person who coined the phrase "editor-in-chief". Post-whoring, man.

Seriously?  
If I wrote like that the NYPost would hire me apparently.  All my posts are basically cut/paste (I delete fluff) -- just like yours and everyone else's.  I may add a comment but those are obvious.

Although I do copy and paste on occasion, the great majority of my posts are just that-my posts.

You seriously do that all the time? 

[Toast 14,839]

What it is, SC doesn't put his cut-and-paste bits in a quote box.
 

Quote

like this

 

 

I often don't do that since the forum change, because the quoted bits tend to get left behind now if someone quotes the post.

I usually put it in quotation marks and/or italics instead.  Might be clearer if SC did that, to make it more obvious where he's quoting.

 

Also SC incorporates his links into the text rather than just copy/pasting the url.

Sir Arnold Clark, founder of, well, Arnold Clarks, dead aged 89.

 

To be honest, thought he was gone years ago.

What is up with this weekend? Can the grim reaper deal with Ian Brady since he's back from his holiday apparently? 

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Also, can someone please remove the shit tag Morbidkid put on? I know you can put tags on threads you create after the update, and this just seems offensive. 

 

EDIT: Thanks for removing it.

One of those actors who surprised you by still being alive given he had that "looks like he should've died twenty years ago" heavyset complexion.
