The Great Cornholio 902 Posted July 16, 2020 This is actually a really interesting thread, its like a murder mystery except its not a murder and we dont know who the victim is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found it quite comforting to be able to post things here during my sister’s illness and subsequent death at the age of 43, fully aware it’s strangers on the internet and most people don’t give a fuck but that was useful as it’s people ‘outside’ of the situation, if that makes sense? I'm sorry about your sister, 43 is no age. I guess for me it would be the whole deadpool competition aspect of the forum that would bother me. The off-topic threads are probably great support if you've developed long-lasting friendships here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miracle Aligner 249 Posted July 17, 2020 Given themaninblack returned to update the Champions League trophy for Liverpool as his profile pic, should we be concerned if he doesn't turn up next week after the Chelsea game to put the Premier League one up?

Horses for courses, innit. Thank you - she had a brain tumour. An ugly, drawn out, horrible death. I somewhat stupidly calculated the day that I would be the exact age she died, half expecting to get hit by a bus or something. That day has now long passed. Does weird things to your mind, thinking about shit like that. Let’s get back to jokes about cocks and shagging it’s what she would have wanted! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,477 Posted July 17, 2020 Well, as forum fave Tom Lehrer said back in 1965: “It is sobering to consider that when Mozart was my age he had already been dead for a year.” Of course, he's now outlived 2 Mozarts and change. Loudon Wainwright made a big deal of surpassing his fathers age. He even named an album Older Than My Old Man Now. That was nearly a decade ago and he's still going. Mind you, when folk we knew died, or the house went on fire, or what not, I've mostly come here for the crap jokes... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to hear about your mum's early end, hopefully you'll surpass her by a significant margin. If not, please arrange for your death to be announced on this thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,951 Posted July 18, 2020 I have to live 30 more years to reach my father's age. My mother is in notorious poor health but somehow still going at 84. My grandparents lived, in average, way more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Cornholio 902 Posted July 18, 2020 Both parents are alive for me, Mum is 48 and Dad is 50. 3/4 grandparents are still alive. Considering I eat mostly junk food and chainsmoke (on top of my skin condition and respiratory issues) I think I'd probably see myself as lucky to hit my 70s tbh. 80's would be ideal for me.
