R I P Etty

[Canary42]

Delia Smith's 100 year old mum (a keen Canary supporter) Etty Smith has died.

She had a good run, must have been her daughter's cooking.

[Deskdiary]

So RIP’ing a minor celebrity’s mum is now worthy of the News section is it?

[rowanwitch]

A very old lady dies, that is only of importance to those who knew and cared about her surely.

[THECORBYLOON]

It's on several newspapers' websites so it's newsworthy to them.

[Sqad]

Desk diary......I just don't get this RIP on AB.
Fine if their name is known, but we have some bizarre names.....to me anyway.
Plus.......how else can one be dead,other than "in peace?"

[jno]

sheesh, who said posts had to be important? There won't be much left of AB if that's enforced by out-of-work Covid marshals

[jno]

Sqad, it's a polite way of saying "I hope she doesn't go to hell"

[Bobbisox1]

Never heard of her :0(

[rowanwitch]

No heaven no hell no peace just nothingness like any other animal that walks the earth

[Sqad]

Jno..lol...OK.

Sorry DD, I forgot to get your approval.

[TrevorThePug]

She was legendary to The Canaries.

Bobbisox, she hadn't heard of you either. Who are you.

It's when those on AB who constantly proudly claim their atheism give a R.I.P. it then it is pure hypocrisy. If there is NO heaven or hell then what is going to disturb some decaying skin and bone except worms?

Exhumation?

[retrocop]

So.If you just die and no soul goes up or down (basic atheism) then you ain't going to worry about exhumation. There are plenty of bone collections in the N.H. museum. Should they be put back in their tombs lest we offend?

[Ken4155]

Didn't say anyone should worry about it, Retro. You suggested only worms may disturb bones. A digger is a tad bigger than a worm, is it not? By the way, my reply was tongue-in-cheek. I'm for the bonfire when i go, then scattered on the top of Pendle Hill. Though knowing my lot, they may just get about half way up before deciding, "This'll do."

[Maydup]

Or dear, poor Canary just wanted a quiet moment to show respect to Etty as she departs this world. She was a very familiar face at Carrow Road and will be missed. It doesn't natter if you havent heard of her. On the Ball City, never mind the danger.

[choux]

Quite so, Maydup.

What a smart lady she was and a good age. No doubt she ate well too. Thanks for the post Canary.

A minor celebrity? Good grief! Delia is my go-to cook for any recipe and imo she outruns Mary Berry anyday. Delia's recipes are the best of traditional cooking.

Retro //It's when those on AB who constantly proudly claim their atheism give a R.I.P.//

Surely that is what atheists would say? If you believe in an afterlife, it would be meaningless.

[burlyshirley]

There is an afterlife. Safe journey there Etty.
