The WHO obituaries thread.
|
|
This is slightly morbid , Vexed suggested this on a thread somewhere, I can't find now, it seemed a genuine and sincere good idea.
When a celebrity dies there is always a post , to be honest I never give a flying fuck when a celebrity dies. Maybe Moore but no social media then.
But when someone you have never met, yet share one common passion in life * Claret and Blue Army, and bonded or not through WHO , it does hit home especially if young and with kids, the site does so much to comfort the family and wreaths so despite a site of self confessed cunts there are loads of decent people here.
Was going to direct message Alan as he has more knowledge and better than me at this.
But maybe another MOD would consider a respectable Obituaries thread for those sadly passed away since WHOs inception.
Maybe users can add funny antidotes of passed WHOer or what they miss about them or don´t miss abut them.
A thread pinned in memory of those. The number is sadly growing.
MODS please think about it and delete this if you can make a decent post and dedicated obituaries thread just for WHOers or hammers known to here.
Godbless

Would it encourage people to add themselves to the list? If they’re on the edge ?
I’m really not sure about this.

*Anecdotes
Lab, if on the edge hopefully the other thread can help.
It was only Gavros´s death got me thinking of Piggy then Eddie now Whitester.
Piggy had me in stitches at times.
Just thought it would be nice to have a memorial thread, to be honest when i have been in darkness and not thinking when I see people 50 or under with kids and family, it makes me think twice and to sharpen up my head knowing its not fair on family.
Since G passing I have stopped drinking and fags, knowing my body cant take it anymore.
It may encourage those to keep fighting and shows our respect for those users who are missed or contributed to what makes here different. Not just those WHO took their lives but every tragic loss.

This thing should be known as 'Mr Vexed's Hi Score Table' or 'Mr Vexed's Wall Of Grief' and should have links to the RIP threads for all the nice comments.
Make it so WHO mod cunts.

Hope died a long time ago.
Entertaining football is but a distant memory.
Competent management of the club snuffed it a while ago, too.

Great idea. I always find it a bit brutal and sad when an unpinned RIP thread starts dropping down and off the front page.
Enshrines those who have sadly passed on here in one thread.

Would need a fair deal of restraint from some, but overall a corker.
Would probably need a "Whatever happened to..."" halfway house companion.
I remember many names, particularly from the night shift who just stopped posting and I often wondered what happened to them.
Some moved time zones and still post, some changed usernames, some did both, but there's still a fair few MIA.

I have spent the morning arranging five key trusted and most importantly, young WHOers to be the official reporter of my demise.*
50 this year which, as we all know is 75 in WHO years and feeling more than a little bit mortal lately*
* Finding treading the line between showing respect to the departed but keeping it WHO is difficult. You Cunts?

Should we divert a little of the Gavvy fund to help compensate all those who get offended by comments posted on the stiffie threads?

Mike,
here's my idea to save WHO lives:
Big ad campaign with Bono as the front man Black and white, minimalist background:
"Everytime I click my fingers, a WHOer dies"
Then, and here's the clever part, we get gank to storm in a break all his fingers*
This should break the hex and rid us of the bad ju ju that we are currently suffering.
* and some toes, just to be thorough.

We never had a period of mourning for Bill, Sidney Oz.
Pretty sure he was getting on a bit back when WHO started. He used to post shitloads on here then suddenly stopped.
RIP Bill.
