The "which famous person died today" thread

I heard a rumour that football had died a week or so ago.

I heard a rumour that football had died a week or so ago.

Well that is just a rumour but sadly this isn't,
I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said.

I will start a daily list mate.
No 1. Wee eck the cave man
No 2 Senga the cave woman
No 3 Bernie the Hunter gatherer.......

stand by your beds for tomorrow’s list which will feature prehistoric Pete and Neolithic nige.

Oh you, I knew about them, I mean more recent, Colin the Crusader was the last one I heard about.

I despair of the growing me me me culture. Although I do believe I should get a State Funeral. Never mind my own thread.

Don’t leave your loved ones with a unexpected bill for a state funeral, since retiring I have to suffer endless ads on daytime tv so I am pretty clued up when I say..open a policy to cover the costs even get a free £20 M&S voucher to spend before you go ( or just open a policy get the voucher then cancel it)

Death Blues

No one today that I know of, oh apart from Mrs Etherington at number 62, lovely lady always helped out at the church fair. 92 is no age, bless

I read all the obituary threads and sometimes think of this Stranglers song. I sometimes feel a bit sad hearing of passing famous people but I've never known them so i cannot feel grief for them. These lyrics sums these faux sympathy freds i think.

I'm expecting a massive crowd funding event to pay for everything. Including a statue.

150,000 people die every day.

RIP x 150,000

150,000 people die every day.

RIP x 150,000

Is that worldwide? If it is we could have a 6b people who didn't die today, thread. If it's UK, then it 57m who didn't die today.

If it is people we all have heard of, as it usually is, then I woukd keep as is.

And yes, RIP all whose cloggs have been popped. And of course the loved ones left behind.
