Richey Edwards

[Stayin Alive 26]

He's gone now, we'll we think so:

What about an obit? What do those broadsheets do in these circumstances? Wait for a legally dead declaration?

 

And I thought it was just that guy from the KLF that went missing.

[Grim Reaper 186]

Gee that took a long time ! Presumably under DDP rules Richey Manic still doesnt score a point.

 

Which of the KLF has gone missing?? Havent they both been missing since day one? Thought that was the point, only to reappear mysteriously when the guys from the Royal Mint have given up looking for the ashes of that million squid.

Richey Edwards has been mentioned in a few "missing in action" type discussions but if Lord Lucan deserves his own thread then Richey does too. It is the biggest Welsh disappearing act mystery since Owain Glyndŵr outfoxed the Poms.

 

Where is he? Hippie trail in Goa, Canary Islands or bottom of the Severn? His sister seems to be holding out hope that he is still alive out there somewhere.

I am pretty certain he is in the silt in the  Bristol Channel. His car was found at Gordiano service station no sightings since...

This might be better in the missing in action thread. In fact, I think it already is.

Maybe it's gone missing.

He has been classified as legally dead since 2008, a DL grey area perhaps.

Well...it would have been a grey area if anyone had picked him the year he vanished

 

I'm telling you for sure the Raymond Hewlett bonus (points given if someone widely believed to be alive turns out to be dead) won't apply in his case if anyone picks him for the Deathrace.

Maybe there could be a sort of reverse Dead Pool. People who are presumed dead but actually turn up alive ? Richey Edwards, Lord Lucan, Shergar, Jesus Christ, Rolf Harris’ career, that sort of thing ?

Jesus did turn up alive, didn't he?   So they say.

Yeah, once, supposed to be coming back again though.

I was thinking the same thing: does anyone, like Paddy Power, have odds on Elvis, Richey, Lucan, etc, turning up alive?

Might actually be better in the already existing thread.

 

FFS.

(Doubt it will be actioned anyway, perhaps @Cat O'Falk would be good enough to also post the link, then maybe it shall be done).

 

Until whenever....

Coming up after the Glenn Miller one.

Morris is probably the only (in)famous person whom I genuinely believe lived a lot longer than was presumed. Almost certainly dead now but I reckon he survived getting off the island.

What about D. B. Cooper? Any chance he survived his jump?

I’d like to say yes, but if you are going to go  to all that trouble then I would expect to see some of the ransom money turn up used somewhere. For that reason alone I think it’s unlikely.

Aye, increasingly unlikely the longer in the past that event is. 

 

Just possible that there'll be some deathbed confession or similar in which someone other than him reveals all

Aww... had a bet on who'd be first to mention this on forum, and both of us have lost now!
