Death List 2024 (16 Viewers)

Where have you seen this? Just searched it on the usual socials and all that's coming up is people joking about needing to take bereavement leave and people complaining about how shit most companies bereavement leave in the UK are. Seems a lot of companies only allow you 3 days for an immediate family member.

X - Twitter. Trouble is, how do you know if people are joking these days?

You have to produce a copy of the death certificate where I work in order to be paid, that's an awkward question to ask I can tell you

I was off work due to an operation but went back early after the news. Couldn’t bare sitting at home.

Clothes aren’t compulsory in the privacy of your own home, or do you work in a naturist resort?

I’m glad it’s not just me who feels the coverage is totally OTT. Capped by the Leader of the House of Commons speaking about his death straight after referencing the death of Alec Salmond and the murdered Sir David Amis.Even MrsSB thinks its ridiculous and she is the nicest person I have ever met.

He was part of a band that was heavily commercialised, which whether they were good or not, sells well. Their first song "what makes you beautiful" appealed to insecure girls, Simon Cowel played a blinder with that one.

It genuinely is a sad event, his age will ultimately play a huge part in the story and it's "sadness". I completely agree though the media coverage is OTT.

Comparing them with the Beatles though isn't even worth the discussion, different time and era and legacy. The Wanted were huge for a couple of years, but now everyone goes "oh yeah" and 1D will be the same I imagine, except to people who were 10 years or more old when they were about.

 

[ccfc922]

What

What?

 

[ccfc922]

You know the Wanted were around the same time as one direction and have also had a member pass away right?

Yes I do, your point?

It wasn't to do with members passing away, more the level of success/fan base.

 

[ccfc922]

And did that death receive the same level of public grief as this one?

Can't remember, bit different as the fella was terminally ill.

Welcome to the forum btw

Not in great health for a while - performed in a wheelchair.

The first two albums were very good. They just did not have the commercial appeal the band craved. He did not have the vocal range so got the boot.

I recall an apprentice (Herbert's Edgwick) friend of mine talking about him back then in the early seventies. Geoff was the local copper in Holbeach , and my mate lived in the next village, Pinchbeck.
He seemed to rate him as a decent, fair, PC - which probably means he'd normally only clout you if you actually asked for it.

A proper Copper, sounds like PC Joe O' Brien who served the Binley and Willenhall community

There were a few about. Ours was a good lad back in the sixties. If you heard his Velocette LE coming you stopped what you were up to though.
A particular well-known Leicester Tigers back row was a nasty fucker in the eighties. Another mate of mine, who had just signed up to be 'Special' described a night when they were on patrol in Lutterworth, and he (the PC) spotted a target, leapt out of the car, dragged said mark into a doorway, and beat the crap out of him.
My mate, who was too nice the be associated with that shit, was told to keep it shut if he knew what was good for him.
Arsehole.

He was very good a solving crimes in those days. You’d have thought he would have clocked on to Michael Jackson a bit earlier wouldnt you.

If anyone has time there's an interview with him in GQ Magazine from 2018, highly recommended
