Who says “wronged” anyway? What is this? A country and western song?
I think you've opened up an opportunity for a whole new thread with that.
Who says “wronged” anyway? What is this? A country and western song?
It must have been code for something, surely.It felt like a recurring theme of my childhood -- the Queen Mother and her bloody fish bone hospital trips.
Some kind of fish to lizard evolutionary thing probably.It must have been code for something, surely.
And you had the decency to nominate Lizzy and Phil as two separate entries out of the five allowed, unlike the likes of farmerbarleymow who- fair warning- will be awarded just 1/2 point when Phil croaks it for his cheeky Brenda & Philip single entryPhil croaking it would give me 2 out of 5 in the deathlist thread. I already got Rush Limbaugh.
I'm in favour of a points based system where you get a point for every year under 100 they are.I didn’t take part in the death pool this year because of the rampant cheating.
I used to work in tv broadcast and they always have standby obits on tape on a shelf near or in the broadcast suite. It’s possible they were testing the tape and an engineer pressed the wrong buttonI am American, but stumbled on this forum somehow the last time there was a death rumor. I came to ask if anyone had seen the clip of the bbc that happened today where they cut away from some meeting to old Phillip footage. Possibly for an obit? Video

I didn’t ask you to defend him. I was reacting to your flippant remark that a “massive stroke” was too quick a death for someone. Massive strokes aren’t pleasant, not necessarily quick, and shouldn’t be wished on anyone.If you want to defend him you could spell his name right, it's the least you could do
It's true, there's a whole shelf full of Umatics waiting to go with an ancient technician who gets a bit confused now and againI used to work in tv broadcast and they always have standby obits on tape on a shelf near or in the broadcast suite.

Maybe one day I’ll get to congratulate myself and finally say: “I’ve garnered a positive response from the users of Urban75!”Am sure you'll get the hang of it sooner than later.
In the meantime, ill informed guess work might garner some negative responses.
Sorry to hear that. Of course strokes aren't a laughing matter, and I'm sure nobody meant that. The royals aren't popular round these parts.
But I reckon you knew that.
I've been here 15+ years and still don't fully grasp the dynamics. But it's a very good place overall. My life would be simpler, but less informed without it.Maybe one day I’ll get to congratulate myself and finally say: “I’ve garnered a positive response from the users of Urban75!”
Until then... :-(

Half of the things I see in this place seem hippy and nice, the other half seems borderline serial killer.

And choosing those with terminal illnesses not allowed. Goal hanging at its worst
i know it's not always a quick death - read the details of Stalin's demise for example. given what Stalin did I'd say he went too quick. I stand by my post altho it would be nice given his interest in wildlife if his body could be made into penguin pellets to help feed the South Georgia penguins in the austral winterI didn’t ask you to defend him.
