Sad, but not the first for 2018.

Dick Van Dyke's brother - Jerry - died earlier this year, as did Ray Thomas from The Moody Blues.

OD ?

The Cranberries song "Linger" is about a fart ...

Is Kirk Douglas ever going to die?

What the hell is he waiting for?

The whole world has been waiting for the other shoe to drop, but like Zsa Zsa Gabor who finally had the decency to turn up her toes, Kirk just keeps chugging along year after year like a living dinosaur.

That's what he wants, cods.

Herbie is a troll.

"In Internet slang, a troll (/troʊl, trɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response".

Sort of in order, by that, I have no favorites but hope at least one or hopefully, two buys a farm in 2018.

1. Paul Rodgers
2. Greg Kihn
3. Ian Anderson
4. Ann Wilson (of Heart)
5. Jim Kerr
6. Shane MacGowen
7. Tony Bennett (not really a rock star but he needs to go)
8. Willie Nelson
9. Joe Walsh
10. Donnie Iris

Alternate:

Micheal McDonald

Sorry, Codsey.

Actually, I would say it about my own father. It's cruel to live that long with all the aches and pains, infirmities and indignities that go with it.

Maclamore will get capped for his tweet on 911. He looks like vin diesels red headed twin.

I am with you cods, I will gladly take the p1ss out of anything, but wishing people dead is not funny, not even a little bit.
It is low. Funny how social consience warriors who tell us how horrible we may be for putting poop on Islam can give themselves a pass for crap behaviour.

Why bother yourself with other sites Cods.  Both AiA and recently Neferti have posted here that they wish I would far cough and die, and not a word of dissent or disgust from you, and others.

It is pitiful the way Aussie is trashing random threads by making them about him, isn't it cods?

GMods, can you please NOT move this thread to Aussie's Turd Tank (Relationships) but instead let Aussie know his efforts are not appreciated?

3 weeks after the rest of her family died in an horrific head on boxing day crash- not a Home and Away fan but this is pretty devastating- herself including her whole family in the same crash

Hope she lives long enough to post herself a telegram.

It was an awful thing to happen, but how many more days/weeks is the media going to bring this story to our attention? The media is STILL banging on about celebrity homosexual Michael George dying - MONTHS after he kicked the bucket. If he was straight he would have been forgotten ages ago.

Lord Herbert wrote on Jan 17^th, 2018 at 9:15pm:


He wasn't straight?

How is that important?

its news to ME- not everyone here lives in bloody Sydney ok ?

Agnes wrote on Jan 17^th, 2018 at 8:43pm:


I was silently hoping that she would pull through after they turned off Life Support, it has happened, but probably best that she passed away since all her immediate family is gone.

yes a whole family even- life just isn't fair sometimes

He was so bored with life he was in the habit of helping to support the illegal hard drugs trade. Actually supported them financially to remain viable and in business to continue ruining generation after generation of young people.

He overdosed.

Karma.

Mark E. Smith, the founder and lead singer of the Manchester postpunk band the Fall has died at the age of 60

obviously not......so what she write  that might help....

I do not know many so called celebs these days.....

Don't worry Cods I am not familiar with her either.  Science Fiction writer apparently and I don't read Sci-fi usually either.   I prefer to see it on the big screen.

RIP to her though she seems to have been well respected.

How do you 'over-dose' on prescription drugs? Can't read the instructions on the packet? "Take two daily before meals". It's not rocket science.

Idiot.

When I was a kid I loved her "Earthsea" series. I think the Japanese made anime out of it a few years back - I haven't seen it.

AiA wrote on Jan 25^th, 2018 at 10:47pm:


They're not deadly at all if you follow the instructions and don't start using them as a recreational drug.

The 'bad reputation' of prescription opioids is entirely the fault of the abusers, and if they overdose and land up on a slab in the local morgue it's only Nature culling the herd of its idiots.

Lord Herbert wrote on Jan 25^th, 2018 at 7:47pm:


Yup.  Cardiac arrest from an acute intoxication of the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine.

Doesn't matter if they were prescription or not.   Sad all the same though.

Don't stand in judgment of my culture, Cods. That's racist.

Ursula was a 'celebrity' Sci Fi novelist. A very 'popular' one at that. I never read any of her stuff, but you could feel the 'greatness' from the other Readers and Writers.

At least she didn't die from a drug overdose, drowning in her own vomit with a strap-on dildo in an unwilling orifice while hanging by a panty-hose after a party.

Writers tend to die from isolation. Locked away in some room far from the maddening crowd - with no-one to talk to but their imaginary friends they invent on the type-sheet.
I'm surprised they found Ursula's body.

It is when it comes to Waleed and Yassmin. I'm thinking something to do with boiling oil.

Why is Waleed so hated? I thought he was one of the "moderates" that people mention about in the Muslim community.

Spot on, Herb. Waleed's response when a Muslim murders a dozen people is, 'Oh great! Muslim women are going to get dirty looks on busses."

What is your point? When someone went on a serial killing in town, 20 years ago, women were afraid of the men in town.

1980s pop musician Michael White died in Perth. The Thompson Twins. Hold Me Now.
