I don't know about you but all these people dying who have been a constant in my life since I was born is rather unsettling.
I reckon the world was a very different place for many people after the Queen died, she was something unshakable for me and then she was gone :(

Now Chuck Norris, FFS, I grew up watching him on betamax videos.

He dies, and now you're free to say it, but up to yesterday, you'd be messing with a power you can't comprehend! Tread carefully, cos Chuck may find a way back! :o
He does not need to find a way back. He found the Way, the Truth and the Life. There is no greater achievement in life. Many will say he was not delusional, but simply living out faith, however imperfectly. I find your derisory language of the departed rather sad...

I'm sure it was tongue in cheek and playing up to his legend status.

The reason the world rotates is because Chuck Connors ran too hard. (There are a million Chuck Connors memes - he got bit by a cobra - and the cobra died etc etc etc).

I thought there was a rule about not referring to members as cunts? I merely said he was a religiously delusional fuckwit, which his comments on social media etc clearly show. He was way out there where the buses don't run.

The UK doesn't have the kind of christian he claimed to be, he had absolute hatred for anyone who didn't share his extreme views & that includes the majority of other christians. He probably picked that extremism up when he was in the USAF, as its fairly rife among those guys (but not other branches of the US military).

That is a sad reality, the extremists of all religions are nutjobs... it degrades the experience for everyone else.

As an ordained minister & atheist my only view (considered extreme by some) is that Kawasaki's are the finest motorcycles* ever made (with the obvious exception of the 1980's Z250/2) & everything else is a steaming pile of worthless turd.

*Internal combustion, Y2K turbines are ok, but a bit out of my league at around $500K (currently)

Mary Rand, the first British woman to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics, has died at the age of 86.

Rand secured the long jump title at the Tokyo Games in 1964, also winning silver in the inaugural women's pentathlon and bronze in the 4x100m relay.

That meant she also became the first British woman to win gold, silver and bronze at a single Olympic Games.

In the long jump, Rand broke the British and Olympic records with her first leap of 6.59m and then smashed the world record on her fifth attempt with an effort of 6.76m.
