Be Excellent To Each Other

Ken Dodd died.

"Did he?"

No, Doddy.

Did he, Man?

How's his dad's dog doing?

... I've got some bad news for you.

Hip hop heads will know Craig Mack. He was on Puff Daddy’s Bad Boy label and came out before The Notorious BIG with his seminal “Flava in ya ear.”

He deadid.

Founder of OCUK and quite probably the most hated racist man ever in the world of tech dies of heart failure.

"A kind and loving man". Who can forget threads such as "Why do P**s stink?"

Poos stink because of the bacteria.

No it wasn't a poo ffs

It was a race of people. I just didn't put in enough stars because my hands are literally freezing.

Palestinians?

Pigs stink because they roll around in their own shit, which is full of bacteria.

I think you meant to say "pakis". It's ok, if you quote you're covered.

Pimps stink because they prop up the systematic oppression and exploitation of women for male pleasure.

Prog Rockers.

To quote my brother this morning - "Used to be my boss. Right twat an all."

Well that's one less arsehole in the world, at least.

EDIT - I used to boycott OCUK because of him, and urged everyone I know to do the same.

That’s a weird news article. It’s just ‘man dies’. It doesn’t mention that he’s a notable man in any way, other than being a multi-millionaire, but I don’t think that’s particularly remarkable these days, is it?

He's quite famous in the nerd world. For being a racist arsehole.

Aye, I got that from the posts up-thread, but I mean the article itself doesn’t seem to mention his field of interest or work at all, which I thought was odd.

OCUK was pretty much the first enthusiast PC nerd site there was. I mean yeah, you had DABs etc but they did not promote overclocking nor sell tools to do it with (mod kits) or overclocked bundles. The company did very well, then Mr Proudfoot put his foot it in a few times showing the world who he really was. It wasn't just his racist thread about certain types of people but he used to talk to his customers like crap as well and constantly post things like "Look at the new Porsche I just bought with all of the profit I made from you people" etc.

That goes into a little bit more detail... But yeah, basically the company was on the verge of collapse and I think he knew it too so he sold it to Caseking.de and now it's easily one of the best sites to order from.



Yeah I posted something along those lines on other forums but it's all been deleted. Seems he has control, even in death.



Yeah so I hear. I have heard plenty of testimonials from people who worked for him. Not a very nice person, at all really.

LOL I just noticed that the article I posted in this post calls him an immigrant. Oh, the irony.......

Ooo it gets weirder !

I would just like you to say that myself and the family are all in shock and are heartbroken at his passing.

The hole in our lives will be immeasurable. He loved Jersey and was very passionate about all aspects of life on the island.

Some didn’t agree with his views but I ask those people to be respectful at this difficult time.

He was liked and respected by the majority and is deeply missed already by myself, his Sons Nathan & Aaron and his beautiful baby girl Emma.

Darling Mark, you were taken too soon. We will love you forever!

That was not in the article earlier.

Yeah I meet quite a few people that call themselves expats, and I always make a point to just say immigrant instead. Riles a few people up, but fuck em.

I really feel sad when I see this thread rise back to the top.

And yet I'm doing it.

Stephen Hawking at 76

Fuck. Another great one gone and it ain’t often I feel the need to say that. RIP Prof Hawking.

A truly great man. I well remember being absolutely blown away in ‘90 reading A Brief History of Time; a book which reignited my interest in Physics, undoubtedly having an influence on my life thereafter. A truly inspirational person in just about the most profound measure imaginable.

RIP sir.

Good thing i'm not alone in this. The other day someone on my reddit feed was asking for other "American expats in Lisbon". He was rightfully humiliated with responses such as "Expat??? Oh....you mean immigrant?". Kept me in a good mood.

Ack. Even though he defied all expectations and lived far longer than he had any real right to, it's still a body blow.

Yeah, really inspirational guy. Sad loss to humanity.

Jim Bowen, gone at 80.

Like the BBC does for the Queen, my tribute video was already prepared.

Keep out of the Blackhole and into the red,
You get nothing in this game for 2 that are dead.

FFS

FTFY.

I nearly went Double Top, Double Top, then I realised "you don't get anything for two in a bed".

I like the idea of him telling Stephen Hawking he could have won a motorboat.

Also, there's a something-something-dead-at-eighty pun in there somewhere, but it's late.

If only he were German.

*Checks wikipedia* Damn.

Then you could make a pun, dead at eighty.

RIP Greengrass

No, it’s Selwyn Froggitt.

Ray 'Butch' Wilkins

Again, pretty young at 61

Eric Bristow.

Huh, he didn't finish on a double.

He did, however, die at the highest score possible with one dart.

Worth the wait for that.....

R. Lee Ermey, 74.

It appears he finally had a major malfunction of his own.
