Rip Thread

Definitely makes you consider your own mortality, when you realise Johnny Rotten's wife was 80 years old,

 

Well everytime i hear a name or watch the box and see folk that i grew up with and think your looking your age these days.
That's a reminder that we're just passing through.

 

just got to hope when you check out that you've paid your bill* and can get through the exit easily.


*delete if applicable, as this doesn't apply to some fuckers.

 

I heard him one the radio the other week promoting his latest release, which I have to say sounded truly bloody awful!
He was talking about how his wife was suffering from Alzheimer‘s disease and the impact it had on their lives.
It couldn’t have been easy for her living with his rock’n’roll lifestyle and battling such a debilitating condition.

 

If love and tears is a payment from walking & talking planet earth, then i'm credit.

 

AFAIK Lydon was his wife's carer for the entire period of her illness over the last 10+ years.

 

This is true.

 

A man in his forties was killed in Melton Mowbray when his Ducati left the road and hit a telegraph pole last Saturday morning. I don’t know who he was. I hope he was not a member of our forum, but in any case R.I.P.

Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l'automne
Blessent mon cœur
D'une langueur
Monotone.
Right you Jerry Bastard
Have some of that*

*Previously "Good morning my arse!"

 

I have no idea who he is or what that meant but I’ll raise a glass to his memory!

 

Looks as though WTL has been commiserating all day!

 

Lead singer and one half of the guitarists of Television, who took his name from French poet Paul Verlaine, and who died in (as I recall) February.

I was thinking of this while walking back from Sainsbury's. And just read a couple of books about SOE, which is probably why.

 

Not yet, but I was thinking of getting the Macallan out! Or rather, the The Macallan.

 

A good innings tbf
