More sad news - Hopper almost down

**** me, people are dropping like flies it seems (1)

This is rather sad, bit of an icon and Blue Velvet is one the all time
greats imho.

Actor Dennis Hopper is terminally ill and is unable to undergo chemotherapy
to treat prostate cancer

73, not too bad an innings and he must have rivalled Nicholson in the
"having a good time" stakes. And he did get to mess around with Katherine
LaNasa after all.

"Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut"
..
"What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about. "


(1) I expect the "death rate" hasn't *actually* changed all that much

 

An old school freind has just dropped off the log with a similar
issue

49 was definatly not a good innings

 

For great Hopper lines, you want True Romance, IMO.

 

You're just at an age where your peers are starting to die off.

Get used to it.

 

Comment from a cousin - "I suppose we're now at the age where we go to
more funerals than weddings".

 

You get fed at both so whats the problem

 

I went to my uncles funeral in 2007 and decided not to attend any more until
I do so in a box.

 

Cheaper than being at the age where you seem to go to a wedding every
weekend or when someone seems to be popping out a sprog every month.

 

"People keep asking me, 'What evil lurks in you to play such bad characters?
There is no evil in me, I just wear tight underwear."

 

Stop chatting and get the trains from Rugby running on the 6th.

 

I've always gone to more funerals than weddings. Prefer them, too.

 

<AOL>

Good fun, a decent send-off.

 

In 2006 I went to 6 funerals of good friends. Only once was around my
age, the rest were under 30, the youngest was 19. 2006 can go ****
itself. I hadn't been to a funeral for 10 years prior to that.

Kev

 

It's not generally considered such good form to pull at 'em, though.

 

1982, 6 funerals of people I knew who'd died on bikes. Most drank in
the same biker pub as me

 

Is there anything worse than a fucking wedding? If so, I've yet to
experience it. Even open heart surgery is preferable.

And kids completely **** up a blokes (not having them, of course), even
though they insist that fathering one won't change their way of life.

Weddings are great places to pick up soppy tarts who needs some lurvin'

 

There's a reasonable chance a bridesmaid will have a chap but widows are
a dead cert, right?

 

Did you eventually stop spiking the drinks, then?

 

I met P at a wedding.
