There's been a couple of "xxx* had done one" when someone has died. I notice some people have commented that it's disrespectful and should be "RIP" or some such. I tend to agree that it's not the best thread heading for such things. What do others think? *Who'll be the first to ask when did xxx die?
I think a bereavement should be <so & so> meets the baker. Implying clearly that they're brown bread.
I'm at a family funeral on Wednesday so it's a bit close to home, but saying that, it doesn't really bother me about the ''done one'' titles. Although obviously some do which is their right.
I would say it doesn't bother me but quite a lot of people will get it confused as we use that for managers and players leaving etc...
I think it can be perceived as disrespectful. Personally, I see it as a little tongue in cheek when ever anybody leaves etc. It doesn't bother me too much, but I understand why it could bother someone.
You'd agree that differentiating a sacking etc. and a death by having "xxxx done one" and "xxxx meets the baker" is the way forward then?
Oh he did kempton. Utter **** and this board could do without his sort. He should just do one in a non deadly way
To say someone "has done one" does has odd overtones as if it's self-inflicted like shooting oneself in the foot. For me it's inappropriate when someone dies.
it doesnt bother me and probably wont bother me unless its someone close to me , so i find it quite unlikely to ever bother me . Im of the opinion that its as sad for me that Frank in Ipswich has done one ,as it is some famous Frank actor doing one . Now if its my Uncle Frank then thats maybe a different matter and in this respect i dont expect anyone who dont know who is is/was to give a rats .
When I finally meet the baker I'd rather it be said I've done one. Besides, there'll be no resting in peace for me. I'll be firmly ensconced in me harem, ball deep in an early 90s Winona Ryder.
