aw, he seemed a nice type :(
― calzino, Thursday, 19 April 2018 09:15 (eight years ago)
I think you may have found one or two things to disagree with him on politically, Calz. But out of respect for Tom's grief here's probably not the place to go into them.
― Tim, Thursday, 19 April 2018 09:27 (eight years ago)
I didn't really plan to tbh. Quite an unnecessary post Tim, really ffs!
― calzino, Thursday, 19 April 2018 09:30 (eight years ago)
I meant for me to go into them rather than you. But please accept my heartfelt apologies anyway.
― Tim, Thursday, 19 April 2018 09:35 (eight years ago)
soz it thought it was a passive-aggressive dig, Tim!

Finding out H Asperger cooperated with the T2 program has been like an RIP for my partner today, she's even taken down his quote from her wall.

I've just been made aware of this article Dale Winton wrote about Trump during the 2016 and it really is something. https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/dale-winton-donald-trump-is-he-hero-or-villain/"> https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/dale-winton-donald-trump-is-he-hero-or-villain/

As a tribute to the great man I'm going to shop-lift some expensive brand maple syrup in Asda later.
― calzino, Thursday, 19 April 2018 11:07 (eight years ago)
Lol! I genuinely thought Tom was crying earlier. I think I have a bit off an Aspergic humour bypass at times!

can't believe Dale Winton liked an orange bloke with funny hair

Sometime in early 2000 I stayed overnight in a cheap hotel in Central London. It had been a pretty grim day for me and I was feeling miserable. I sat down on the bed and switched on the TV, and it happened to be some Dale Winton (possibly Lottery related) programme. Not my kind of thing but for some reason it cheered me up a bit.

just reading Dale's wikipedia earlier. His father died on the day of his bar mitzvah and his mother died from suicide after suffering depression when he was 21 :(

his mother was an actress and i think the last film she was in was eric sykes' 'rhubarb'

Fuck. to get pancreatitis from drinking too much in your mid-20s seems insane to me. Really sad

I've not seen it, but Netflix had a new documentary about him out a couple of weeks ago? I saw the press release at the time, and it said something about how those close to him sometimes feared he'd be a member of the "club of 27" (dying at 27 like Joplin, Cobain etc).

I follow some Swedish news Twitter accounts because I'm studying the language, and there are comments coming out from the Swedish prime minister and the crown prince and princess and people like that - this is like a full-on national tragedy, it seems.

I'm like 7 months older than he was, it's almost unfathomable to me that in the same time I've been alive, someone else managed to become an incredibly successful performing artist, retire, and (apparently) drink themselves to death. I don't have that much energy.
― valorous wokelord (silby), Friday, 20 April 2018 21:18 (eight years ago)
I have known quite a few people with a boundless energy for the drink and without the distraction of a successful career, who didn't manage to die from it until late 30's/early 40's.
― calzino, Friday, 20 April 2018 21:26 (eight years ago)
Bix Beiderbecke also managed to drink himself to death at the age of 28, so it's not a unique case
