  1. Yes, this public mourning/grief or "mourning sickness" as some have dubbed it is more about the grievers own importance than a display of condolence to the close relatives and friends of the deceased. It's about displaying herd mentality, wanting to be in the crowd. Media feeds it.

    Theres a whole wiki page about it.

    Exactly this. Half the people commenting and posting RIP statuses would probably struggle to name more than 2 films he was in.

  2. Gutted. I wanted to hear Joey Styles screaming as New Jack staples flaming dollar bills to Steve Corinos face etc.

     

    I've been watching the old WCW one on there. Night of Champions or whatever it's called. Sting Vs Ric Flair. From when Sting had a blonde Guile style haircut and the pattern from a pair of mid 80's speedos painted on his face. Ric Flair looked like Ric Flair.

     

    It went on for ages. Like 20 minutes. 10 minutes of which featured Ric Flair in a headlock. Remarkably dull. I think it was their first big match together. Luckily by the time the last Nitro came around they had actually gotten good at wrestling each other!

     

    I need to find a copy of the Dean Malenko Vs Beniot cage match. Incredible WCW match.

  3. I'm quite chuffed with my list this year. Last year I picked a load of old people and Seal, all of whom I thought were surely due a death but alas it wasn't to be.

    This year I've picked a list of the first twenty celebs that came to mind. Still reeling from the fact I delved deep into my mind for celebrity names and pulled out Gaz from supergrass and Jamie Cullum.

     

    Although most lists look similar there has been some good unique picks. Shia LeBouf, Sally Jessy Raphael, Vinnie Jones, Helen Bonham Carter and Pete Burns are probably my favourites this year. Vinnie Jones actually had me giggling at my desk. Top pick.

    We should probably have a vote for pick of the year. Mine is Vinnie Jones.

  4. Glad there's folk expressing hate for Mrs Browns Boys. Awful television. Everyone at my work seems to love it and always ask "hey Phil did you watch Mrs Browns last night? Oh I forgot you don't like it."

    Fuck off.
