Bob Hoskins RIP

[Dick Swiveller]

Dumb people bounce old news so it gets into top 10 most read on eg BBC website, then dumber people don't see the old date and start to spread 'the news' and before you know it 100millon hits and everyone is in a race to say (in a me me me manner) 'so and so has died'. This is factually correct in fairness. But you don't half look an arse if you're the 'first with the breaking news' Like the OP here.

He'll be telling us Keith Harris has died soon as that is number 10 currently. Sympathies to Orville and Cuddles.

Very sad news, got to feel for his family , suffering again only two years after it happened before.

Never mind Bob Hoskins, have you heard Diana's died?!

The dodo died. Then Dodi died, Di died and Dando died... Dido must be shitting herself.

[Albumen]

Very sad news but he has left the "manor"

You're so sad you had no idea whether he was alive or dead.

 

[Colonel Angus]

Awww, not again!

So many celebrities dying this year. Hoskins, Elvis, Buddy Holly, James Dean, Bill Hicks, Princess Grace of Monaco...

When will it end?

brilliant !!!!!!!

 

[Paskman]

Before he died the first time, he lived up the road from me in Chiddingly..............

He's a day late this year because of the ''leap year''

Very sad news, got to feel for his family , suffering again only two years after it happened before.

Exactly this. To happen to that poor family once is bad enough but twice? What are the chances? What horrific luck. Put's tomorrow's game into perspective. Perhaps a minutes silence before kick off?

I'm still grieving for the passing of Malcolm Muggeridge a few months ago. Its all getting too much........

Croydon's finest intellectual.

 

[Danny-Boy]

I thought the recent performance of Hugh Laurie in "The Night Porter" on BBC had distinct echoes, particularly the closing scene in the back of the van, to Hoskins' bravura portrayal of a doomed man in the closing credits of "The Long Good Friday". THAT was one of the best bits of acting I've ever seen.

Hitler went too

 

[GT49er]

Won the play-offs in his first season down there. Well done him. With parachute payments, he must be one of the favourites for next season now.

Croydon's finest intellectual.

'Finest' is not an alternative for 'only' - and yes, I did check in my thesaurus.

 

[Sheebo]

Before he died the first time, he lived up the road from me in Chiddingly..............

Did indeed. My Mrs used to serve him in the Horam bakers when she was a kid (she wasn't my Mrs then, just to confirm.)

 

[Questions]

As he's now on a hatrick you haven't left much room there Buzzer if he dies again.

 

[Norman Potting]

What is it with this new thing of announcing deaths that happened years ago?

Popped up on FB yesterday, was reading all the nice comments about him then saw date of BBC posting was 2014. No idea why these celeb. deaths keep reappearing - I blamed the Beeb.

 

[Gazwag]

Is this the first death fixtures
