Cilla Black....deceased :(

[Sue]

Oh FFS.

Lots of humour is quite black.

People have different senses of humour.

I found red devil's picture very funny. I find some of the "jokes" posted in the joke thread on here quite offensive.

Each to their own, eh?

I sincerely hope that when I snuff it (which if people on here think 72 is a good innings then I haven't got long to go, grammar) I won't get a load of friends and relatives afraid to make jokes about it. Though of course I hope they'd have a bit of a cry too :))

Well, makes sense, maggots also try and wiggle their way out of difficult situations...

Yes

If you can't beat death at least you can laugh at it.

and I don't think Aaron Ramsey scored recently.

Sorry - I missed have missed the memo that appointed you the grief police and gave you the right to judge what people are allowed to feel sad about.

This thread is turning out brilliantly.

I believe in things called "freedom of thought" and "freedom of speech". You may be familiar with the concepts.

So yes Jimmy Kimmel is perfectly free to cry about a lion, or anything else. And I'm free to ridicule it. And you're free to say daft things.

Yep. It's certainly giving the Honey thread a run for its money.

Death is whatever you want it to be. Shouldn't be any limits on how one persons death is a celebration, another's a deeply sad and traumatic event. Each to their own. But when you are not in any way interested in said person, and are purely posting to mock the circumstances surrounding the media response to said death, that's pointless is it not? We still do not know the outcome to the autopsy on Cilla, maybe it wasn't just old age, maybe a tragic accident? Who knows? But until then at least give the poor family and friends a chance to deal with the grief without all the pointless little attempts at humour! There are lots of people I have not particularly liked, I didn't celebrate their death by going on social media criticising the response of others to their death. It's called having a little dignity and respect. Couldn't you give it a month before you start the whole obituary slating and such like. Some of this stuff is no better than the drivel Katie Hopkins dishes out over Twitter (and for the record I actually quite like her too!).

Keep wiggling away Lou...

[Otta]

I seriously doubt that anyone close to Cilla Black will ever read this thread.

[Jeremy]

How about Cecil's friends and family? They might be upset. They might come after us!!

[Louisa]

For all we know one of her relatives could be a member of this forum. We just don't know. You only have to do a quick search on google with the words 'Cilla Black East Dulwich' and this thread title comes top!

Louisa.

[*Bob*]

It's true. Should any of Cilla's relatives somehow manage not to see the banks of national newspapers out today each with a seven page spread speculating as to the cause of her death - AND simultaneously fall onto a keyboard and by huge fluke input the words 'Cilla Black East Dulwich Forum' and hit 'enter' - they would be horrified to discover you comparing her hair colour to that of Cecil the Lion - and it would be as if poor Cilla had died all over again.

We can only hope that this most unfortunate set of circumstances do not occur.

I'm gonna miss her on the Football Focus thread...she was a staunch Evertonian

[Blah Blah]

What is wrong with everyone today? :D

[Louisa]

*Bob* are you some behind the scenes expert on this forum? How on earth do you know whether one of her many close friends or relatives isn't looking on this forum as we type? And how they be offended by certain comments? That's all I'm pointing out. My comment was, as explained previously, an observation at the poor editing of the picture where Cecil's mane overlaps Cilla's ginger mo of hair. It was not an intentional dig at her nor Cecil. For goodness sakes I shouldn't even be having to explain myself.

Louisa.

[Louisa]

Stop patronising me *Bob*. Do you have nothing better to do?

Louisa.

[*Bob*]

not really, no

yourself?

[Louisa]

Not really!

This maggot is gonna get a headache in a minute. Bugger it, where shall we go *Bob*?
