I remember being in a branch of 'Our Price' just after Freddie Mercury had died and it was full of people buying Queen albums. The buggers had also put the price up for some of the back catalogue, from mid-price to full, as if Our Price were expecting this.
I hate that...I was looking in the Britannia mag (I know I should knock it on the head) the night before Marc Almond had his accident and they were offering his 'best off' at £5.99...the first thing that went through my head after I heard about the accident (other than I hope he's OK) was I bet if he carks it they withdraw that and up the price!
Fuck Me! Britannia Music Club! I'd forgotten all about that. I used to be in that.

Another tragic loss. It will be sadly missed.

Wait until Griff finds out - he's had a bad enough day as it is.
Whatever next, one asks - The Book Club? Is nothing sacred these days?

I remember reading somewhere that What's-his-name had terrorist links, but I wasn't sure how much truth there was in it. I was going to start a thread about it, but didn't think enough people would know anything about it. However judging by all the outpourings of grief here I now know this isn't the case, so can anyone lend me a helping hand here?

It's possible you may be thinking of the incident in the late 70s, in which a group of interviewers in a hotel lobby mistakenly thought that What's-his-name had threatened to "blow you all up". He had in fact, in a druken stupor and late for his interview, been shouting "where's my blow-up doll?".
What's-his-name was questioned by police over the incident, but was released when no explosives were found at his mansion. The blow-up doll was also not charged.

It's true. And under such awful circumstances:
reuters-
Two days after releasing her 1983 Eurovision entry, "Full Of Your Love", What's-his-name's blow up doll succumbed to a life threatening nipple puncture and deflated peacefully in her closet.
Close friends of What's-his-name's blow up doll have stated that they knew there were domestic problems, but that they never suspected there were ever any violent acts taking place in What's-his-name's home.
Coroner's reports were inconclusive and police have no leads.

'Eshdi' is actually Sanskrit for "immortal". Fascinating.
Ah, but it's also an anagram of "H Dies". H pertaining to heroin- and we all know about Edwin smack habit, don't we?
It's also an anagram of http://www.blackcatbone.34sp.com/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=788.
I think we ought to be told the truth regarding What's-his-name's death. Just where was Meghan on the night of the incident?
