Cilla Black Funeral?

As she was a big fan of Thatcher I would imagine she is about as popular in Liverpool as crabs at a gangbang.

if there was an hell she be joining maggie there

Place must be full of hellebrities!

Sir Cliff did good......

news said she will have a no1 album this week........who the hell are buying these........its crazy

Cliff Leatherface sings at Aaaah Cillas funeral
Sir Elton of Wig sings at Dianas funeral
When Her Maj pops her clogs I wonder if Joe Longthorne will be available to sing an emotional tribute

Yes, just a bit over the top, and the irony of calling her Queen of Liverpool.  She was a tory and loved Liverpool so much she hardly went back there and spent most of her time away from the place and in Spain. I liked her but I don't think she was as nice away from the cameras, and from her early days in the Cavern she done good.  However, she was also in the right place at the right time, and with the right people around her. Although having said that she did have the talent to keep going and make a very successful career in TV after her time as a singer in the 60's.

A fair appraisal, Hound - Dog.

No other news about.

Good story about her in Ricky Tomlinson's autobiog.

Very sad..... on so many different levels

chit-chatters are going to organise another ding dong party.

This is so reminiscent of the heartbroken city/nation at.......

......errrrr...... Jimmy Savile's funeral

although he did have various sections of the armed forces parading in full dress
lining the funeral route.

Did i just hear correctly when Les Dennis said "she never lost her accent"?

Should have added, 'no matter how hard she tried'

her house getting broken into the other day was aimed at people who forgot she died

Any news or the Tarbuck and Richards investigations ?

Was watching cricket all day so missed it.

I would rather fall bang my head and have stroke than watch Cilla's funeral.

From another forum..........Like her or loathe her there's no denying she stayed true to her roots...............She was still a Ginger Cant when she croaked.

she was the peoples princess

THe media are desperate for anything to talk about and occupy air time. A cull of media experts may be a good move.

The BF Forum sees clearly through the kant yet again.  Jolly well done, all.

Charming, what a prik you are. Calling her a kant on the day she was buried, when you probably knew nothing about her.

She was a cant, sold out her working class roots by biggin' up that absolute grade A professional evil t0sspot thatcher, and who turns up to her funeral, a load of rich tory supporters, couldn't make it up.

What a mean-spirited thread

agreed,lets all pop in the chit chat pub for a snorter

If we had a proper pub where everyone is welcome, I might have been tempted.

very generous brewery to keep it going on 2 customers a week

Bito.

How's your hoover?

Good to see the original landlord back

Thanks Crags

Almost ten years old the pub now. To show you how old it is, Each-Way and Lady Penelope I think were the first two patrons.

We need people like that back again, not just in the pub but in general. To add some juice, as I seem to remember each way used to say.

Night all.

can someone pull up that jimmy saville thread when he dies, forum classic.

She apparently was voted mist unpleasant celebrity passenger by air crew.

most

Im surprised who was there or NOT
No Sir Ken Dodd
As an ex Liverpull mucker!!
Expect too busy touring

And Andrew Lloyd Webber?
Looks like he be directing the Cilla musical

With Sir Tom as the lead
Why not?

No Paul McCartney ?

^ think Paul and Ringo just sent floral tributes to Cilla.

Thanks HD

Somebodies mother, somebodies grandmother.....


but f*ck em, she was a right witch....


21st century Britain Im afraid....

They can't have been close then.

The news report said Paul had sent a condolence ham to the family.

Seems a bit odd.

Pennsylvania Sympathy Ham

****speck The Germans have a wonderfully exact word (is there any other kind in German?) called ****speck. Idiomatically, it refers to weight gained from emotional overeating. Literally, it means “grief bacon.” In the part of Pennsylvania where I grew up, we had a similar term. We called it “sympathy ham.”.......cont

.....Sympathy ham only came around when there’d been a death in the family. Where others might bring casseroles or stews or things like that, the people of Wayne County brought ham. Lots and lots and lots of ham. Baked ham, smoked ham, ham sandwiches, ham soup, and yes, ham casseroles. Glorious, salty ham.

Give her credit, where credit is due....she stood up to the scousers when it was needed.

*for the scousers

Rather describes large numbers of the congregation...... Glorious salty ham

The coverage has been OTT. That brings out a response on here and elsewhere.

There will be people who have done the most incredible things with their lives, but die in obscurity.

We seem obsessed with tv personalities.

She has risen from the grave
Her first ever Number one album

The blame for that lies firmly and squarely at the feet of the general public yet the usual suspects on here see it as an excuse to have a go at Cilla.

Celebs are fair game, why should we pretend we give a toss.  It all becomes a bit of a media fed grief fest.  Give it a few weeks and the stories about her negative side will start to appear.

Fair game for what? Having a go at when they die?
Got to agree about the grieving part. Like the Diana thing I could never understand anyone other than family and friends crying.
Might be sad but certainly no more than that as none of the general public knew her..
Although on the other hand why are people so ready to put the boot in. So some didn't like her but then again they didn't know her either.

The link I posted gave some reviews of the way she treated air crew and was done well before she passed away. From the tv coverage you`d think its almost St Cilla thats just died. Im sure she has been pleasant to people as well, but she has had a reputation of being a bit of a cow.

You know her well then Pounf?

No surprise to see a tory supporting a tory here.

Its the testimony of air crew who have had her on their planes. I`ve never met the woman, and am sure there will be people she has met who have different tales to tell and say she was a saint. Just a case of balance

I read that blog but I've also read other articles where people have been complimentary of her and saying she was down to earth.
Maybe she just wanted a private life and didn't like it being invaded. Lots of stars are like that.

always sat seat 1a first class even if her ticket read something different,think that would pee me off in the unlikely event that was my seat

It's well documented that she was a completely hideous, odious woman. I know that first hand from people who met her many times and whose opinion I value. They can't all be wrong..

Sorry to be pedantic but that's second hand. What about all the people who say she is an okay person?
I obviously don't know and the only evidence I've seen is mixed. The aircrews blog isn't favourable but maybe she is just a poor traveller.

she'll probably nick st peters pew

Aye and ban slippy and all his mates.

Diana Ross and Kate Moss are diva's who both kicked off on planes....


Shall we p1ss on their parades when they get the 'Diana' treament on the day of their funerals?

Or do we think about their family and loved ones and keep schtum?

straight thru pearly gates no searching for  a raisin

Some real pricks on this thread.. and that's not even counting me

Good morning Crags.

Have you been enjoying the Ebor meeting?

I'm a NH fan EvgenyKissin, so not too bothered about York. Do a bit of trading on here but that's about it.

Waiting for her to burst out of the coffin and shout ' Surprise Surprise !!! ' . Lorrai lorra laughs !

You should get on Dragons Den with that idea Facts. Would be a massive seller and make you millions.
You would probably then be voting Tory.

I am surprised at you facts i thought you had more respect.

Its ok shes fair game for facts,apparently she was a mate of thatchers.

She's from Liverpool isn't she. If you come from there , incredibly funny humour is part of your DNA isn't it ?
Although Ive never been convinced.

iust watched "cilla at the beeb",she was rather good.
sorry cilla I take it all back the nasty things I sad,well most.

Facts ...

John Bishop's from Liverpool so the hypothesis is way off.

The only Liverpudlian that's ever made me laugh is, er, er,

oh, yes, Ken Dodd getting found not quilty of the Tax Evasion thing - now I did laugh when I heard the verdict.

(BTW my mother-in-law was treasurer of a club that put on Ken Dodd and we went and he was very funny ... insisted in being paid in cash! ... before the court case)

Ken is that rare thing, a comedian who is actually very funny.

It must be agonising for the likes of modern-day alleged comedians such as Russell Brand to know that even if they live as long as Ken, they'll never be anywhere near as funny. I hardly need add, Ken's also got miles more dignity and class.

alun2005

I agree.
When Ken did his show (for cash) he went on about 8 and lasted until after midnight, with a short break.  No script, just jokes ... and clean, no swearing.

"Good evening, my name is Kenneth Arthur Dodd; singer, photographic playboy and failed accountant.  In 1842, Sir Robert Peel introduced Income tax as a temporary measure at a rate of 2.9% in the pound. My problem was I still thought that was the rate".

Cue audience meltdown.

That's a comedian.

Mememe

I'm sure you realised the irony ?

Facts

I realised how the British legal system is corrupt (court case in Liverpool!!) - that was in 1989 - and events since have only confirmed this to me with other luminaries getting away scot free ...

but I don't know about the irony ...
