Off Topic The R.I.P Thread

Just seen this. Very sad. RIP.

 

I just read that Freddie Starr had a heart attack and heart surgery back in 2010. His health has probably been poor since then.
He is free of that now, which is a mercy.

 

Sad news about Freddie Starr, although a miracle he made it to 76.

 

RIP Freddie

Interesting that the BBC website have decided to ignore his death?

 

RIP Freddie. LOved his Max Wall impression. There is a report on the BBC website in the entertainment section.

 

He wasn't/isn't politically correct.
So to acknowledge him isn't politically correct either.

Must admit though, ignoring his death is a novel approach. Kind of implies they will behave as if he was still alive - much in the same way Banks and Utility providers do for the rest of us, however often our next of kin tell them otherwise.

I think I'll take a leaf out of their book and ignore my own death (whenever it happens).

 

They didn't ignore it, it is in the entertainment section.

 

Blimey, if Freddie Starr's death now qualifies as entertainment they are an edgier lot at the BBC than I thought.

 

He was an entertainer.

 

RIP Doris Day, 97. Maybe on Friday we could pay tribute to her with a rendition of her famous hit:
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
We're going to Wemberlee
Que sera sera.

 

RIP Niki Lauda.

 

After his crash he was out for just TWO Grand Prixs … the crash almost killed him and he missed just two races!

 

Lauda died TWICE and was resuscitated after the crash!

 

RIP Nan Winton, first woman to read the BBC news.

 

Jim Davidson dies at least twice every night during his stage act.

 

@baraettmattesvensson 's favourite author Judith Kerr dies today... RIP fine lady

 

@baraettmattesvensson is her long lost son.

Wayne Kerr

 

The Tiger Who Came to Tea

 

Certainly not Mr van Gerwen.

 

I died at minimum twice last Friday
