Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

I think David Bowie is haunting me. I've had "Let's Dance" stuck in my head all day. But it is catchy.

Oh man, I've had Changes going for 3 days. It's funny sunday I put on Ziggy for the first time in, I don't know years, guess he's haunting us all :)

There's a really bittersweet street party in Brixton.  Fans gathering, singing the songs in unison..

 

That odd mix of celebrating his life and music while still remembering its happening because he's gone.

Dammit, I was holding it so well until I saw this thread. Heard the news this morning but now I feel like crying.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Maybe it's just selfish and wants the good stuff all to itself.

Only links I can find are about Celebrity Big Brother UK releasing teaser video of her crying over the news and viewers complaining that the show/network was exploiting her.

On Celebrity Big Brother Ms Bowie was apparently (I read this in the Metro) complaining before his death that Mr Bowie had purposely turned their son Duncan against her, because the gentleman no longer speaks or has any contact with her. Seems a little strange to discount her sons own feelings and logic as a grown man and blame Mr Bowie, but then again i'm with Philip Larkin on families.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

She's claimed that for years, including in her autobiography (IIRC).

Perhaps the general public have not read her autobiography, or are being re-acquainted with the lady, and are not aware of her personal matters. I was certainly surprised to hear her name brought up the other day, as i'd largely forgotten her.

I just wanted to point out it wasn't exactly a new claim for those who hadn't heard or who had forgotten.

Nonek sorry to put you on the spot like this but you haven't spoken to me for months and this was despite the fact I apologized to you

 

Its strange that you would hold a grudge for so long? But maybe you are not ignoring me but its just we have very little to say to each other ....which I doubt, I'm not sure if you know but I'm also from the UK. We really should be talking due to our shared legacy ?
