Cilla Black dies, 72

[Ax^]

3rd result down on that search

I was in Hunstanton walking past the bowling alley when I saw Dolomite buying a stick of rock. Erroneously, I greeted him with "Hi, Terry Crews" and he responded by hollering "DOLOMITE'S THE NAME AND FUCKING UP MOTHERFUCKERS IS MY GAME" before turning into the human tornado and flinging me into the sea.

I was reading a thread about her on MoneySavingExpert recently and not one person who had met her had a good word to say about her.

Friend of my manager was in London a few years back and she got in his car by mistake, thinking it was hers. He said "Cilla love, I think you have the wrong car" and she just glared at him and got out without saying a word.

Liverpool has a monopoly of celebrities turning vermin once they get rich.

On the other hand, Ricky Tomlinson was active in the National Front before he became famous. He's now a committed socialist.

And also if Wikipedia can be trusted a harpsichord player. I'd love to see a video of him tackling Montiverdi

Cilla was good friends with Cliff Richard, Rolf Harris and, er, Jimmy Savile. Make of that what you will.

I'm not a big fan of Macca but each time he mentions Cilla's name, the crowd boos.

Rot in Perdition?

I don't think I've ever heard any of her music, or if I have I hadn't connected it to TV personality Cilla.

"Had a few hits in the '60s" - and found fame clutching to The Beatles' coat tails afaict.

Popbitch have hated her since year dot with plenty of stories of things done to her by cabin crew etc - supposedly treated normal people like vermin.

Had forgotten about her son killing that bloke...

This is quite uncalled for, I've heard a couple of warm tributes to her today from Piers Morgan and Noel Edmonds. And their word is good enough for me.

Liverpool has a monopoly of celebrities turning vermin once they get rich.

If you're going to start dissing Les Dennis, you'll have to get passed me first

I was reading a thread about her on MoneySavingExpert recently and not one person who had met her had a good word to say about her.

Its not as if that's a site for generous people but its not looking good for her is it

Any tributes from rolf harris yet?

 

[brogdale]

immy Tarbuck, who had been a friend for decades, told the same paper: “She was the total rags-to-riches story. Totally. She was Liverpool’s Cinderella

...and the Guardian ran with it.

Any word on Ken Dodd, is he an arsehole as well?

One good thing to come out of today is that she'll will be reunited with her Bobby, Piers Morgan gushed. Wanker.

Some pretty unpleasant sexist stuff on there.

"Sajid Javid, the business secretary, said she had “brought great joy to my childhood”.

That must have been the reason he got the job as 'Culture' Secretary.

Love the way they all climb on the celebrity hearse wagon.

'kinnel; that must have been one colossally joyless childhood.
Born '69, aware of stuff from '75 onwards (max)...what fucking joy was she bringing then?

 

[Nine Bob Note]

she had a few number ones in aus

She had a few number twos in our chart too.

PopBitch/HolyMoly etc have always painted her as the rudest individual ever to call herself a celebrity.

A biz acquaintance of mine just saw "Cilla has died!" a couple of minutes after her agent released the news.
He posted this with RIP
It caused havoc for a few mins
