The RIP Thread

I see Rachel Riley is seeking protection after receiving threats for highlighting the increase in anti-semitism. Gutless and shameful

 

How do I put my name forward?

 

Too late mate, the back of the queue is in Torquay!!!!

 

by knowing your 6x's table and throwing in a few 9 letter words

 

It is happening today, people being killed for whatever warped reason whether in Asia as the Rohinga's were, Syria by their own President, previously in Africa, the Balkans, it takes little to light the fire of hatred for whatever reason. Each atrocity should be remembered for what it was and never forgotten...

 

Totally this......it’s still happening and will happen in the future.....it’s a ****ed up world, always has been, always will be.
Sadly numbers in a page becoming meaningless (100 killed here, 300 killed there etc etc). When each man, women and child is thought of as an individual then that’s when the true horror is realised.

5% of adults in the UK do not believe the holocaust happened.
Is there any breakdown on who in our society thinks this?

In other news, 5% of the UK population are muslims.

 

Over here, the Republicans are trying to blame ‘The Left’ (Democrats, who they always accuse of being Communists) for the Holocoust.

Thankfully, not all Houstonians are this moronic.

Oh....no...not Jeremy Hardy
We saw him well before he was even slightly famous in a comedy club near west Hampstead station.(in late1970s I think)..there were only about 20 of us in there. He was the funniest,cleverest thing I had ever seen).

He lived by his Socialist principles...He never changed such a legend ...so sad.

Very sad, a decent and talented bloke. I enjoyed his warm humour - pretty much disagreed with all he said politically but respected his passion.

One of the funniest things I heard was JH discussing BSE at the Hysteria AIDS benefit - when asked what questions you could ask to identify a brain diseased cow...

“Can I have my job back please, Margaret?”

Couldn’t find the sketch on YouTube

 

RIP

 

Matti Nykänen (1963-2019) worlds greatest skijumper all time with four olympic golds, six world championships and numeral other medals. He was also a popsinger and a media person. One of the greatest sport person in finland. His lifestyle was bit colourful. Six marriages with five different women. Alcohol was maybe too dominant
in his life and he event spent several months in jail after a fight where he stabbed a man. All in all he was somehow
very likeable person and was very popular until his unexpected death monday 3th of february.

 

Six marriages probably did for him...

 

Sad news ex ranger Matthew brazier died today, been suffering from non-Hodgkin follicular lymphoma, only 42 & remember his playing days with us, R.I.P

 

That's awful news, far too young. RIP Matthew...

 

I remember him playing too.....really sad news to be gone so young.
RIP Matt

 

RIP Matti

Regardless of sport one of the greatest. Exceptional performer in a sport of fine margins. And winning all three ski jumping gold in one olympic during Calgary '88 still stands as one of the greatest achievements in sport.

 

Exceptional performer indeed. Matti was one of a kind in everything he did. He lived full life and done many things he might have regret but his skijumper career was sheer brilliance. I still remember foggy holmenkollen day, when young 18 year eagle just flied out from that fog to land on to his first world championship. Great man
