He's just dead, dead racist.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:20 (seven years ago)

Think it's a slightly old-fashioned midlands thing to use 'dead' as a general intensifier, do other parts of the country / world do that? It's a feature in Mandarin too.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:21 (seven years ago)

the scots think it's pure dead brilliant too

BIG RICHARD ENERGY (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 20 July 2018 14:22 (seven years ago)

Every time someone starts a rumour about Prince Philip being dead, it adds another five years to his life. Please gossip responsibly.

Def an Edinburgh thing at least. Dead keen. Deid annoying. Dead tired.

Lucy Birley - model and former wife of Bryan Ferry.

The Vogue obituary is the one to read https://www.vogue.com/article/lucy-birley-obituary

The Times obituary today is unexepectedly bad and exploitative.

I used to like his son Erik as an actor - he played a drug dealer on Homicide: Life on the Street and a medical examiner on The Wire.

The kid who said “I like turtles”!?

devops mom (silby), Friday, 3 August 2018 19:55 (seven years ago)

I thought Mustafar had died in the late '90s or early 2000s. I guess I was confusing him with Bob Flanagan (who died in 1996).

grawlix (unperson), Friday, 3 August 2018 19:56 (seven years ago)

Sometimes it feels like a run of deaths has a theme.

Yes, I’m not sure whether it would be inappropriate for the pallbearers to do ‘to me, to you’ or inappropriate for them not to.
