I think at one time he held the record for the player who has been transferred the most times.

Was a character for sure

Gutted to hear this.

Arrested development and Archer are two of my favourite shows, she was superb in both, particularly Archer.

RIP.

A touching tribute to Sabine Schmitz on ADAC NĆ¼rburgring Youtube channel.

++++

One of her amazing start at NĆ¼rburgring 2014 VLN race. Passing other cars at Nordschleife part of the track was breathtaking.

Shocking news which has come out of the blue. Best known for FND but also a great body of other work. Gone at far op young an age. RIP

No point in watching the news for the rest of the day, then.

99, good knock that man. Cue media frenzy, videos and stories for 10 days until the funeral. Wonder if theyā€™ll look back fondly on some of his slightly questionable foreign faux pas?

I kind of feel sorry (in a way) for people like him. The BBC already have his obituary online. Not that it was plannedā€¦

I remember Ben Elton doing a sketch about the BBCā€™s plans in event of royal tragedy. From 2 days of somber music (more royalties for Elton John) if the queen dies to 2 minutes of the birdy song for Fergie.

As we speak, Nicholas witchel will be in front of a mirror honing his grovelling whimpering.
RIP old royal dude

regardless of what you think of him, remember that he is a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

RIP, and 99 is a pretty decent innings

Boris Johnson always finds the right words.

ā€œLike the expert carriage driver that he was, he helped to steer the Royal Family and the monarchy so that it remains an institution indisputably vital to the balance and happiness of our national life.ā€

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I suppose he didnā€™t run over anyone with breeding.

BoJo has the majority of his speeches written for him by his underlingsā€¦!

This speech had probably been already in his drawer for a long time. What was not appropriate is, as usual, his terrible hairstyle. Embarrassing, especially for this sad occasion.

Warning: quite a few of these areā€¦ :grimacing:

Some of them, however, are funny as fuck - particularly the Madonna quip.

Nope, Iā€™m having a problem here and thatā€™s why Iā€™m tagging some of the mods @ubermick @Mascot @ISMF @Hope.in.your.heart

If there is one ā€˜untouchableā€™ place on a forum than it should be the Rip thread. No discussion nothing off-topic.

A place to pay respect / mourn the death of somebody who just passed. Nothing else.

We have threads for politics and hundred other thread were freedom of speech can be expressed. Or open a ā€˜rot in hellā€™ thread i donā€™t care.

So the mods, Iā€™m hoping that in the future this thread will be monitored differently and warnings - or if needed bans - will be issued.
