And only when I actively looked for health news on him, did the relevant info appear. And even then, I thought that because of gallbladder surgery, he suffered from gallbladder cancer, but in the end, it was prostate cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always like it when a competitive DDP team manages to get a unique hit with someone very notable. The second time you've done so after Boulez, I think.

En Passant 3,741 Posted December 10, 2019 8 hours ago, Toast said: Fuck off, Creep. This is also my response Creepoid when you complain that I liked Toasts response. Get my retaliation in pre-emptively mate . I'd have thought (in fact I do think) it was (is) perfectly acceptable to have a catch all thread for deaths in a given year, it's a one stop shop for folks that could appear anywhere else on the site, especially considering the ongoing wars (for want of a better term) about who goes in what thread and the possible subsequent trouble in finding them (particularly if not named or incorrectly spelled and so on). Post it wherever it falls in the disparate thread conventions AND here then it's easy to find. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
