Fullerene Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Just caught up on a few things. 1. The reason you don't see much of President Kennedy these days is because he went to Dallas and something happened. 2. You can't go on the Titanic anymore because, um, er, because you just can't. 3. Something else happened but now I forgot what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 A few times, I have watched a film and thought this actor or that actress was great and look forward to seeing them again. Then the end credits come up and say "In memory of ...". Maybe not the best way to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 This might be stretching the word "news" a bit, but I've just found out Tony the Tiger's nose is actually blue. I'm blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The burning questions: Which stories did you miss that took you by surprise a good while later? Alternatively, who have you incorrectly thought was either dead or still alive? Personally and for whatever reason, I thought Stevie Wonder had died years ago until I saw his name mentioned fairly recently. However, I remembered that I've encountered people who thought that Elvis is just retired at home / Hitler is serving life in maximum security military jail (extensive public transport is superb for overheard conversations btw), so I don't feel particularly bad about it in comparison. Apparently he's in pretty decent nick considering he's approaching 120 years old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I only found out yesterday that Errol Brown of Hot Chocolate had died. It was cancer that got him. It started with a cyst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I recall not finding out that the body of Joanna Yates had been found on Christmas Day until the following day, even though I was in Bristol on that day. Maybe I was just too smashed to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomp my root Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I used to miss loads of 'small' news when I was working away, we got the headlines (and football results) but not much more. I can't remember anything in particular but it would come up in conversation and I'd be surprised about a fair bit of minor stuff. Not the same thing but I'd also get mixed up over what footballer was playing where sometimes, mixing up Football Manager with the real world. I know which one I prefer......
