Willie Thorne DEAD

[Indie]

Maybe one for just me and @Kate

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/53076861

But old Willie Thorne, his hair's all gone, and his mates all take the rise
His opponent said "Cover up his head, 'cos it's shining in my eyes,"

When the light shines down on his bare crown, it's a cert he's gonna walk it
But it's just fair giving off that glare:
"Perhaps I ought to chalk it"

 

[lolly]

I had my photo taken with him at Butlins Minehead

 

[ButterTart]

Well he was a LOT younger than I thought he was. He must surely have had the most painful-sounding name in the history of competitive sport.

 

[Kate]

Aww

Shit yeah, he was one of those people that always seemed OLD, but he was younger than my parents. Crikey.

 

[Pingu]

Oh that’s sad.

Also surprised to learn he was only 66 mind.

 

[lolly]

It's only really the baldness which aged him, isn’t it? When I think about it, it's clear that he was of the Steve Davis generation rather than the snooker one before.

I probably would have guessed he was about 70, though.

 

[Kate]

He is TWENTY-NINE here! (and John Virgo 37)

 

[Ellie]

Aww. Had no idea he was that young. 80s and early 90s snooker really was a staple of my childhood.

Olden days people always look prematurely haggard. I discovered the other day that JAN DILDO was only the age that I am now when she died, which (much like that bullet did to poor Jan) really messed my head up.

 

[Ellie]

I’m watching some of the a Golden Girls repeats on Channel 5 and have been amazed to hear that Rose was only supposed to be in her 50s and Blanche only just started the menopause in series 2.

She was from Weston Super Mare. They age in dog years there.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Jan Dildo didn't look old!

 

[ButterTart]

Jan Dildo didn't look old!

Maybe it was the matronly hair.

 

[Kate]

She had a mature face. And yes that hair.

 

[ButterTart]

Poor Willie. Even on his own obituary that bloody Jan is hogging the limelight.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I think ya'll forgetting how old we are now.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

There's no evidence they even met.

 

[ButterTart]

There's no evidence they even met.

Almost like it was the perfect crime...

 

[ButterTart]

I think ya'll forgetting how old we are now.

But we don’t look like that, surely? We’re hip and vibrant.

 

[Diddy]

Are you implying Willie Thorne RIP (that sounds even more painful) killed Jan Dildo?

the DISRESPECT!!

 

[Ellie]

No defamation laws against the dead, so why not?

 

[Diddy]

Another touching tribute from Ellie

I’m just saying was he ever questioned?

 

[GNL]

I'd love to hear a Moopy true crime podcast.

I'd love to hear a Moopy true crime podcast.

“Does anyone else find it suspicious that Lulu was alive at the EXACT time JonBenet was murdered?”

There would also need to be rigorous investigation into the many deaths of Eileen.

If Kate and Gerry didn't kill Maddie, who DID they kill?

 

[Kala]

'Exactly WHO did the bag that Jark stole belong to?'

'What happened to the girl untitled called a cunt?'

 

[ButterTart]

Tonight on the Moop Report, Cheadle man found suffocated with padded bag. Locals AGOG.

 

[dmlaw]

Sad news. And not just because, what with the lockdown hair, I was a moustache away from making good money as a Willie Thorne lookalike.

Just grow the moustache anyway, people are in mourning so an official lookalike is needed now more than ever.

I had that friggin' song in my head all day yesterday because his baldy bonce kept coming up on the tv screens in the office.
