Have more people really died this year or are we at a point with social media/the internet where everything is now reported?

If I see the words "2016 claims another" again... 2016 might claim another!

Bit of both Mr Yloop. Internet/social media means instant access, whereas there does seem to be a lot more "social figures/celebs" dying this year.

If a celebrity dies n no one tweets about it have they really died?

2016 cheated because Lemmy actually died in 2015.
So anyone who dies after 28th December this year doesn't count.

is cliff richard dead yet?

Unfortunately not!!!!

I read that about Cliff Richard above, then seen Muttleys response, and I swear I thought you were both talking about this fella:



And thought, what has he done to upset people?

Look at his eyes. He's clearly haunted by the memory of something truly horrific. He was only 25 when this pic was taken. The fact that he was known as The Grinder must be some sort of clue.

Hmmm... it does have slightly different connotations these days.

As indeed does Joe Davis who apparently was the 'Emperor of Pot'. Ken Doherty was 'Dogged' Doherty' according to Wikipedia.

It depends on your definition of 'dead'.
