Cilla Black dies, 72

[Pickman's model]

Its a bit sad that Paul O'Grady (who has some class consciousness and appears quite left wing), is apparently devastated by the Cilla demise.

Maybe its regional solidarity?

maybe she owed him money and he's seen the state of her finances?

I always thought Mos Def sampled Cilla on his song Know That - always struck me as odd bedfellows. But now i delve deeper i realise its Dionne Warwick singing Anyone Who Ever Had a Heart, which makes more sense.

Or probably they didn't agree politically, so never discussed it, but were firm friends anyway. My friendship group features a lot of differing political views, "It takes every type of people (bah bah bah bah-bah, bubba bah bah) to make the world go round" as Robert Palmer pointed out in the 70s.

Tbh its always a bit weird when celebrities from when you were a kid die.

anyway it gives everyone an opportunity to familiarise ourselves with spanish practices around death duties, which was not long ago the subject of a case at the european court of justice: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...inst-Spain-over-discriminatory-tax-rules.html

i suppose so. We are probably all the same in that regard, unless we are irridemeable (cant spell that) sectarians who only associate with iredeamable sectarians.

Mr O'Grady would probably distance himself from her politics if pressed.

i still havn't recovered from when Charlie Chaplin went.

Yeah, how many of the good folk of U75 put up with right-wing rhetoric for various fusty old tory-voting relatives at functions but love them anyway.

*Not me - my Dad seems more than ever to want to smash capitalism now he's retired and sits around his 4-bedroom detached house in Dorset.

Hmmm...not so sure about that froggy. Death is just a part of life and I'm wary of considering it weird. I suppose the thing about sleb deaths is that a 'product' is abruptly removed from the market.

 

[redcogs]

Nobody would believe the type of shit my old dad used to come out with..

but it isn't. they live on from beyond the grave.

Correct. Should have said 'fresh product'.

she didn't do anything fresh for years before she croaked.

Is your new dad any better?

 

[happie chappie]

I have read the thread - the charges seem to be a) A Tory b) friends with other celebs also Tory and mainly also from Liverpool c) not popular with users of a cabin crew forum d) not very nice to people.

On that basis some people on here must spend most of their lives sneering at dead people?

Not sure I’m sneering at Cilla but you can perm any two of the above and the chances are that I’d not like her.

All four and she’s definitely on my “couldn’t give a fuck list”.

Poor Cilla struggling to decide which house to occupy for all those years

More ouses than a monopoly board, and more than any human being should ever be able to own. Fuckin shameless acquisitive property grabbing money grubbing leech.

 

[redcogs]

When you consider the millions who toil in low paid yet crucial jobs, like street sweepers,binmen, careworkers, nurses and all the other necessary and useful tasks that actually contribute to a halfway civilized society, yet some fuckin nonentity of a talentless celebrity stacks up more wealth than many thousands of families can hope to earn in a lifetime. Obscene doesn't begin to cover it.

I remember she advertised Birdseye beefburgers back in the 70s. She should have been done for child abuse when feeding the vile things to her kids.

tbh, in the '70s they probably did contain some cow.

If I understand advertising correctly, she almost certainly didn't feed them to her own kids. She simply recommended everyone else feed them to their kids and treated her own kids to much better food off the profits.

NB: I know nothing of the quality of Birdseye beefburgers, they may be the staple of a very healthy diet for all I know. I'd be surprised, mind.

 

[elbows]

Lucky it wasn't the late 80's. Lorra lorra protein misfolding.

 

[brogdale]

She did advertise Cadbury's dairy milk "choc" in the 80's.

...you certainly wouldn't catch me walking past Christopher Lee's "final resting place" after mid-night thats for sure...

 

[equationgirl]

Fuck me, I never had equationgirl (who started this thread in this forum) down as a tool of the global conspiracy to divert the minds of the sheeple away from the real stories.

Mind you, I never had you down as the sort of tool who would go on about anyone diverting the minds of the sheeple away from the real stories either, so clearly I need to revise my opinion of at least one of you...

I just couldn't see any celebrating given that someone was bound to have her in the death pool.

Hive mind my arse

At least if my dad spouts tory rhetoric I tell him he's wrong, and give evidence supporting that view, he listens and then changes his views.

Maybe time to give this from Viz an airing:

 

[UrbaneFox]

I wonder if her dear friend Cliff Richard will go to her funeral, or has he retired for ever to the Caribbean?
