keith floyd dies too

[Mick Mac]

very sad.

[????]

RIP etc.....but can't we have all the deaths in one place?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Quids makes his play for The Chair

Which wouldn't be a bad idea actually

[matthew123]

'A medal-winning Irish Olympic boxer has been found dead by his manager at his flat in Bromley, south London.

Darren Sutherland, 27, who won a bronze medal at the 2008 Games in Beijing, was discovered on Monday by Frank Maloney.'

[annaj]

Both good ideas, an obituary type thread and Quids being The Chair that is, deaths do seem to be announced in clusters and, whilst they deserve respect, it makes for a morbid front page.

[*Bob*]

Yes, let's have a 'guess who's dead' thread.

We can stack-up all the corpses of people we've never met in there and lament over them 'as one'.

Amen.

[Keef]

They soon slip away though.

'The Cemetery'?..

Harsh *Bob*.

I don't think it's wrong or oversentimental to express regret that someone you admire has died, particularly if they've died prematurely, even if you have never met them. You can respect and admire someone you've never met and it's not as if people are demanding national holidays or claiming to be inconsolable, they're just saying "that's sad". It's hardly a sea of flowers at the gates of Kensington palace.

This is a thread for keith floyd. Lets pay him some respect . He was a tremendous presenter and a great character. I always enjoyed his programmes and watching him cook.

Death of famous people is still quite rare and deserve a thread. They soon fall away if noone is interested.

As for a deaths section well noone is going to go there.

It would be more dead than the drawing room.

Id suggest we do less rather than more tampering with the lounge unless we want to deprive it of its range and diversity.

Funnily enough, I was watching "when Keith met Keith last night, which had Keith Allen meeting Floyd. Don't know if it was a hasty addition to the schedule, or if it was meant to be on last night.

Keith Floyd asked Allen if he hated the name Keith.

Allen replied, it's quite cool, you've got Keith Richards, Keith Moon, and yourself. Then you add Cheggers to the mix, and it all goes to shit! (or words to that effect). That is EXACTLY how I've always felt about it!

Anyway, RIP, but not surprising given the way he insisted on living his life, right to the end.

I met Keith Floyd a few times when he had his pub/restaurant down in Devon. He did most things to excess, including alcohol which led to troubles in his business and personal life. Lets hope he is at peace now.

When Keith met Kieth did confirm one of the Keiths as a self obsessed ars*hole.....and it wasn't Floyd

It doesn't get any more peaceful than 'dead'.

[Moos]

Let's hope so.

Keith Floyd was a top chef and lovely if cantankerous bloke, I loved his cookery programmes cos he loked like he did because he loved cooking and his joy was infectious. RIP big guy.

[????]

Quids as Chair......

[SeanMacGabhann]

if keith floyd were alive today and participating in this thread about anyone else would he

a) be more likely to side with *bob*

b) be more likely to side with mick mac

My guess is a)

I don't see anyone disrespecting the Floyd btw

[Brendan]

Well I for one want a national fucking holiday!

And maybe some paella.

[Jeremy]

Keith Floyd was awesome. I hope his shows will still be on TV for years to come.

[*Bob*]

Me too (ker-CHING!)

[Jeremy]

Oh come on Bobby... I'd much rather watch his food travel shows than Jamie bloody Oliver hanging out with the homeboys in East LA, pretending to be their best mate.
