I done did a SaxonRider.

😳

Err

He died last year

That was last week.

Elvis, Lennon – it’s been a shit year, for sure

I’ve got James Brown as the next faller.

Err, just heard about Prince, seriously.

Well it was only confirmed a few hours ago.

That’s on the button for me.

Percy Sledge gone today too 🙁

Lionel Blair looked well today

Percy Sledge gone today too

He went downhill fast at the end.

You’ll be telling me that Tony Hart’s died too next…

Its a Pre-Rapture gathering/summoning of Gods next big Gig.

Rubbish day to die if you’re an-ex pornstar wrestler…

From the publicist: “It is with deep sadness to inform you today that we lost a true icon, a real life superhero,” said a message. “She will live forever in the memories of her millions of fans and all of us that loved her.”

Sledge climbing up the Beeb website’s Most Read page.

If it’s any concellation, Floella Benjamin made the same mistake…

So sad that soul singer Percy Sledge has died aged 74. My favourite song is ‘When a man loves a woman’…classic http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32301435

I done did a SaxonRider.

Yay! I’ve become a noun!

Why do these old news stories pop up again a year later? Percy Sledge dying is the second most read thing in the BBC website. Whassitallabout?

Percy Sledge has died two years in a row. Fingers crossed that 2017 is a better year for him

Twitter

Bruce Forsyth, if I was a bookie I’d offer abysmal odds on him being next.

Charlton Heston passed away too.

David Bowie?

At least Mandela is still alive.

Roger moore is next surely

Whitneys been in the bath for a while – should someone check she’s ok ?

Charlton Heston passed away too.

Jeez – the Fat Duck in trouble again then…

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are feeling a bit peaky.

I’ve started the campaign for ‘a saxonrider’ to get in the oed…

i fell for the percy sledge one on bbc news last night and mentioned it to the wife. on realising my mistake this morning I updated her with ‘turns out percy sledge died ages ago but it resurfaced on a most read list…there’s a name for that and it’s a ‘saxonrider’ – you can tell your friends that…’

slightly weirdly she didn’t question it at all and i am confident it is now spreading…

Haven’t seen Michael Jackson in ages.

And now Stuart Little.

This is all further proof that we are nothing more than automata, existing in a giant computer simulation, run by strange alien intelligences we cannot begin to comprehend. And they have had their budget cut so are being forced to cut back on how many human brains they can simulate.

The easiest way to do that is to reduce the number of creative artistic types, as they generate a lot more data per simulation cycle.

The other way is just to reduce average intelligence. That’s been going on for years.
