Sounds like they need to show Murillo the way (to effectively recycle).

English football great Bobby Charlton has, it may (not) have escaped your notice, died. Charlton a hero of Englands World cup win, and one of the countries elite level players, had (like many players of that era) suffered from dementia in later years. As a survivor of the Munich air crash, where many were lost, he was famously traumatised by the event, rarely speaking of the day that saw many of his friends and colleagues die. Modern Britain is paying suitable tribute to him by banging on about the death of an 86 year old every hour (or so it seems).
We love a dead hero. Great distraction, and they wont complain, or ask for funding to feed hungry children. Seems a shame that the media didn't bang on about him this much when he was alive and knew which way was up, so he could have got some value out of it.

We get the right arse when thier relatives get to keep the autobiog proceeds for themselves instead of giving it to charity though because, y'know, I want what you have.
-
You’ve lost me. What are you referring to?
-
The whole Captain Tom book and relatives not giving the proceeds to charidee hullabaloo, although at the time of posting I wasn't really aware of the whole backstory and Captain Tom 'charity' foundation thing being set up and perhaps not being terribly transparent.
I'm still don't know a great deal about obviously but, on further reading, on the face of it, it does look a tad iffy. If not absolutely contrived from the off and dodgy as fuck.
But then Ingram's are involved, so, yeah.

2/3 Who Wants to be a Millionaire winners are Ingrams and only one of them cheated!

I hear that another tory has been accused of rape, and arrested. They are reported as being confident that it will not progress to charges. Which I observe is not the same as protesting ones innocence.

Bad taste and insensitivity are now illegal.

He sounds like something of a cunt. For some reason that doesn't surprise me.
-
Very much my reading of it. The Loyal NZ crowd with whom he has been associating are an entire subculture of country. "Loyal To You, Not To Them" was their paranoid motto.

I don't know if anyone here watches or pays any attention to the Panthers, but there was a horrible incident this evening in their game at Sheffield - Adam Johnson of the Panthers fell and took a skate across the throat. Game was abandoned and apparently they were giving him CPR on the ice in a huge pool of blood. No update since.
-
Apparently he’s since died, nothing official but his mother has posted something on her Facebook. How sad.
-
Officially confirmed by the Panthers. Horrific. We've seen similar injuries a couple of times before, most famously a player called Clint Malarchuk whose life was saved by the fact that one of the team medics was a Vietnam combat vet who had seen similar injuries before, and immediately shoved his hand into the wound to pinch the artery closed. To my knowledge though no professional player has ever died from this kind of injury before.
-
But it’s happened before? And but for a very smart medic, someone would have died before? Is there not some sort of neck protection they could wear? Do you think that will be mandated?
-
I believe that in some leagues neck guards are mandated, and yes, I expect the EIHL will folow suit now. I don't think the NHL will though, players tend to push back on extra equipment.
