Yes, I can see that morning meeting at ITV HQ. 'Cilla's dead. Stick it on again.'


Grieving time is all too brief at ITV as well.

Wait until the press get wind that Cecil was a bigamist, fathered multiple bastard offspring, leading to hordes of single parent lionesses roaming the African plains scavenging on scraps and handouts...Channel 5 have already commissioned the biopic.

My thoughts on this were that its rare that tributes to people who have died seem so positive and genuine. From Jimmy Tarbuck, Bruce etc


But strangely no one seemed particularly sad, they seemed to be celebrating her life rather than grieving, possibly because she was such a happy, warm and generous person, who had enjoyed her life to the full and was still enjoying it to the end, the way we all would probably.

There's always been plenty of background industry chatter of the non-warm-and-generous ilk, Mick. I'm not sure Tarby and Bruce can be relied upon for the complete picture..


Personally I put most of any negativity down to a healthy dose of misogyny with a side of envy. Anyway, she never really gave much of a toss what anyone thought of her, because she thought she was great - and so did twenty million other people at one point, so who's to argue?


She had a great life, she got to the top, did everything she wanted to do - and said many times she wanted to die before she got too old. Sounds like things worked out just fine.

And you are clearly free to behave like a charmless git. 1/10- please try harder.

It's sad that Cilla passed away, she was a star and a proper lady, I never heard anything horrible or scandalous about her. My condolences to anyone who is in mourning.


My cat died, dropped dead aged 2 and a half ... sudden death syndrome. I still miss my cat every day, more than I miss some people. Thank you.

Oh dear again !!


And I thought she was more down to earth than all that ... during an appearance on Room 101 she claimed to dislike the "do you know who I am ? " celebs and wouldn't use celebrity to her advantage. She said that if she phoned a restaurant and they didn't have a table for Mrs Willis, then they didn't have a table for Cilla Black.

Written after her death and therefore could be a bunch of

rubbish - although most celebrities have airs and graces

and I've seen worse - and acted worse on a plane (when it

leaked hydraulics and they were about to go anyway) :).

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      By No-flies · Posted

      Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

      Moved Back, Mates Moved Out – Fancy a Pint?

      By G22 · Posted

      A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

      It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?

      They are people.  That's how people often behave.
