Re: The rather morbid celebrity RIP Thread.

Jeremy Hardy. RIP.

He was a bit of a looney lefty but was a decent comedian. Hilarious when trying to sing on ISIHAC.

Re: The rather morbid celebrity RIP Thread.

Dave Ingram Jr. :'( Some of you would have known him personally. Regular attender of gigs and festivals such as Bloodstock and Beermageddon. He also played in bands such as Vindicator, Hellbastard and Nefasturris. Decent lad and will be sadly missed. RIP. Bit late posting as it was a couple of weeks...

From the North East, Sunderland I believe.

Sad though.

Re: The rather morbid celebrity RIP Thread.

Definitely was a National Treasure. :( Strange looking back that Jimmy Edwards was so young when he was supposed to be playing a sixty year old bloke. He was only about thirty and Dick Bentley who played his son was 13 years older than him. Still listen to TIFH when it's on Radio Four Extra. "O...

One of the good ones who got into politics for the right reasons and not because he saw it as a career move.

Re: A free-for-all thread

Have you ever bought something on-line which wasn't quite as advertised and, when you request an exchange or refund, they tell you to send a photo of it? Is it necessary to do that? It never used to happen. Do they think the customer is imagining things or is it a tactic to make you not bother? It'...

Re: What should happen with Brexit?

Don't forget they wanted to sign up to the failing Euro and where's your pound now? 10 years ago it was 2 dollars to a pound. when i went to the states in 2015 and 16 it was 1.6. Went again in Sep and it was 1.3 (it's actually below 1.3 now) ONLY BECAUSE OF the referendum and it WILL get much worse...

Re: What should happen with Brexit?

I don't think you get one MEP. You have several.

I know the names of three of mine. Stephen Wolfe, Theresa Griffin and Bungle AKA Paul Nuttall. I've never seen them in the same room, have you? :lol:

Re: What should happen with Brexit?

David Cameron should be fucking lynched for unleashing this shitpocalypse on the country. There's a hella long list of MP's who deserve a similar fate over their complicity in this on both sides of the dispatch box. Mostly on the Labour side I'm afraid. Most of them have gone as well. If we would h...

Loved that band back in the day. The album he was on, Penetration Point is a classic.

He was also in Agent Steel when they played the UK in the late 1980s.

I read that one year when going to Wacken on my own. I knew I had a long wait in Manchester Airport so read it whilst having a few beers.
