Facebook is hilarious right now, so many differing strong opinions on the death of someone they don't know and has no impact on their lives at all! People just love to argue don't they?

I do my best but it doesn't always go so well.
I murdered that Cookie Monster thread today by going overboard perhaps.
I stopped watching it when Ben killed Heather. It got to much. By that time the classics had started disappearing ... Pat and Peggy, and the show went downhill. Derrick was atrocious. I remember the Johnny Allen days. I just saw who they replaced Peter with... wtf?!
Shirley, Max, Bradley, Jack, Christian and Fatboy were easily the best show's newcomers. Masoods were okay as a typical asian family, although they're story lines were just too much sometimes. I mean how can every typical asian taboo happen to this one family!?
Thanks for the bday wishes guys as well. Plus us 7th April guys share it with kickass Jackie Chan!

It reminds of when the Queen Mother died - 'the nation's favourite grandmother'. Umm no. Same with Diana - 'the people's princess'. Eh? Books of condolence?
I know what you mean. Then again, deaths of public figures tend to affect Samaritan phone lines.
I suppose her being quite young, and a mother of two, and the daughter of Geldof [and the way he lost her mother], all adds to the cauldron. Seems like death always pisses some people off, whilst in others inflect some reflection.

In a new feature, Chris Morris takes a sidewards glance at BritGAF's hottest topics:
Chris Morris says:
"If a terrorist group wanted to hit Britain, all they'd have to do is kill 100 random celebrities. The country would have a nervous breakdown."
I'm just gonna quote 20 Minute Loop here
"A strangers death cannot deliver love, or truth, or anything but shock"
I certainly am shocked - it's sad to think of her father losing a child, even sadder to think of her kids growing up without a mum (which brings back a lot of stuff for me from when my aunt died, leaving her 2 year old without a mother) but it's just shock.

Yeah, that's all a bit weird.
You escaped from Syria? We blow up homes for fun here! Watch as we destroy 5 tower blocks exactly the same as the one you're in!

Morning all. How is everyone? Apologies for my intermitent and flakey attendance around these parts.
Has anyone else hear stumbled upon Scott Bradlee on YouTube? He and his band are pretty incredible. They do post-modern covers of popular songs.
My personal favourites are their cover of Miley's 'We Can't Stop'
and his solo playing of the music of Tetris
It certainly brightened up my day, at least! More here.

I lived round the corner from them for like 10 years. Will be weird when they're gone.
Keep your cake, have some birthday wishes instead.
Fanks.
I miss the Birthday train by a couple of days.
Jen is making Hazelnut Chocolate Brownies for me to bring to work, I expect to be popular tomorrow...
Edit: oh and I while I was off yesterday my team printed a picture of Eric Bana out to be my stand in on a team meeting.
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
Happy Birthday!

Newbury race, is that the boat thing? I did that once, got covered in egg and flour from the bridges when we reached the finish line. Hilarious.
horses, son.
I don't give a fuck about horse racing, but £25 for a day in the sun followed by some Wouldn't It Be Nice, God Only Knows and I Just Wasn't Made For These Times?
Yeah, I'm in.
Wouldn't you wait until a light sprinkling of snow for maximum anarchy?

You can do it for free in the park with some headphones braaaaaaah.
Nah sounds nice man. Plus you get to watch the horse chicks with their hats and shiz. Win.
You know my feelings on horse chicks, brah.
They all look a bit too much like the horses.

That's some good thinking... but nobody argues with Chris Morris. NOBODY.

No, not girls who ride horses, just girls who wear hats and watch horses. Not quite as bad. Or earthy.
You DO look like Eric Bana!

Maybe it's just an Ascot thing, but in my experience of having worked at Ascot the horse watching women are literally the worst humans I have ever encountered. Generally working class women in their forties who get dressed for a night out, attach something ludicrous to their head and get slaughtered on champagne all afternoon all the while embracing the delusion that being at Ascot in a silly, expensive hat makes them a posh Arsitocrat. They cackle like hags, snap their fingers at staff, stagger into the daylight to throw up and are then helped into a taxi when it's hometime.
Not a fan.
