Fake Death Reports

[Arthur Little]

:crazy: ... over the past couple of days, there've been rumours as to the passing of two luminaries - Sirs Sean Connery and Anthony Hopkins -BOTH unsubstantiated!!

Anyone else here come across those? :Erm:

[Steve.r]

Can't say I have Arthur

[grahamw48]

Where did you dig those up from Arthur ? :Erm:

[Arthur Little]

Can't say I have Arthur

:icon_rolleyes: ... each of their names appeared on my facebook page, thus:

Remembering Sir Sean Connery ...... (yesterday afternoon)

AND

Remembering Sir Anthony Hopkins ... (this forenoon)

Hmm ... :anerikke: ... most likely some idiot, internet troll. :icon_lol:

Upon further investigation ... here is a link to the former ...

Still to unearth (pun intended) the latter.

Ahh ... my fault; in my haste, I'd omitted to insert a 'dot' between the words en & mediamass! :icon_sorry: ... try again, Graham.

Seems *this one was announced months ago, :doh!

It appears - as has since been established - BOTH are still alive and well. :icon_lol:
