___This is a dumb story about a british woman dying while playing bingo, and the people refusing to stop calling numbers even while the paramedics were giving her CPR on the floor. But the part I don't get is how they constantly refer to her as "the mum". It's even in the headline. "Mum dies while playing Bingo". "BINGO hall staff carried on calling a game after a mum fell dying with a heart attack." "paramedics who rushed to the scene made attempts to resuscitate the stricken mum-of-two." "Heartbroken Joanne has placed a moving death notice in her local paper paying tribute to “the best mum in the world”. I mean... is that the way they do it over there? "Granny wins lotto." "Pa in car accident." "Worthless nephew arrested for drug posession."posted by Adam 10/25/2002 10:56:00 AM
