Obituary thread 2017

William Christopher.... father Mulcahy from M*A*S*H

The TV version, not the film.

Technically a 2016 death, so we are several hours into this year without losing a beloved entertainer.

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

He had a wide range of interests which showed in his writing. He lived the life of the peasant farmer for part of his span. He was the kind of intellectual, left wing cultural figure more commonly found and more popular in other European countries than GB.

Was that after you'd told her it was over at Christmas?

In the Family Tradition thread, I believe.

With Halloween coming up I decided to go to my local fancy dress shop to see if I could get a Dracula costume. After a few minutes the assistant handed me a Hull KR shirt asking "Is this suitable?", I replied "I think you may have misheard me, I said I wanted to look like a count."

RIP Tilikum.  Only a big fish (I know, I know, its a dolphin...), but the film Blackfish made a massive impact on how Orca are treated at parks like SeaWorld.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Actually it's an Orca, it predates on dolphins

The Orca aka the Killer Whale is the largest member of the Dolphin family.

One dropped pass and now a knock-on Phil, getting very sloppy, must improve ?

I tried to go on a dolphin swim in New Zealand the other week but all the small dolphin had legged it because the orca had come into the bay.

From this I learned that the orca is a dolphin and that you're not allowed to swim with them.

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"
