Thanks to the missus for finding this.

According to the Empire forum stats, warneford87 joined in April 2006 but didn’t have anything to say until Brittany Murphy died. This is currently his/her only post.

R.I.P Brittany Murphy Bless you poem

You were in Sin City,
I thought you were pretty,
Just Married was a flop,
It wasn’t much cop,
6 Mile was about rap,
You certainly were not crap,
So why did you have to die?
To make movies in the sky?
Why why why why why why why??????????
One less house for santa this year,
One less house of christmas cheer,
Now you are with the king of pop
In the section of heaven where hearts have stopped,
Are you an angel now?
Did you get your wings somehow,
Every time a bell rings,
An angel gets it’s wings,
I hope for you that bell ring a ding dings,
Bless You.
xx
warneford87

That’s lovely. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if she comes back from the fucking dead, just to say thanks.

    In the section of heaven where hearts have stopped

    Technically all of it then.

    i didnt see 6 mile, was it any good?
    what a septic badgers bell end

    Every time a bell rings,
    An angel gets it’s wings,

    Why do I get the feeling warneford87 has been furiously pressing hir doorbell over and over.

    “Don’t worry, Brittany! I’ll give your wings!”

    Doesn’t matter though…

    Now you are with the king of pop

    Apparently she’s in Hell.

    Anyone else think warneford87 might just be deliberately taking the piss?

    Yes, almost certainly, but I really really hope not. Bless ‘im/’er

    Reminded me of Baldrick.

    One less house

    “One house fewer”, surely?

  8. on 21 Dec 2009 at 6:13 pm Deacon Lowdown

    It really needs to be read out loud to be truly appreciated. I recommend singing it to the tune of “Fairytale of New York”

    The great McGonagall couldn’t have done better.

    Well apart from hid ode to the death of Queen Victoria.

    Oh no!
    A typo.
    I wish I was rid,
    Of that errant hid.

  12. on 21 Dec 2009 at 6:51 pm Mr Cat

    That is brilliant… absolutely brilliant. Forget the haterz who think its fake – that must be straight from warneford87′s heart. Which I bless.

  13. on 21 Dec 2009 at 6:57 pm Mr Cat

    I’m not sure which is my favourite line.

    It’s a toss up between:

    Why why why why why why why??????????

    and

    I hope for you that bell ring a ding dings,

    The former is pure poetry but the latter crowbars in some sleazy innuendo undertones.

  14. on 21 Dec 2009 at 7:03 pm Mal

    6 Mile was about rap,
    You certainly were not crap,

    Move aside Mark Kermode, you have met your match.

  15. on 21 Dec 2009 at 8:46 pm MacPedro

    Was 6 mile the edited version of 8 mile or the prequel?

  16. on 21 Dec 2009 at 9:25 pm Felix Castor

    Surely a fake. Couldn’t be more obvious if he posted:

    Oh Britanny, death has torn us apart,
    Like an exchange without its mart,
    In truth we never really met,
    but if we had I make a good pet,
    You would not have said no,
    Even if there was lots of snow,
    As I can wag my tail like a dog,
    Well, it looks like a tail in fog.

  17. on 21 Dec 2009 at 9:37 pm B S Eliot

    Oh Dear Baby Peter, How could it come to this?
    You wanted to hold a rattle, but instead you got a fist.

    How terribly they treated you, drunken off the dole,
    Your life filled with monsters who beat you without soul

    How one so young can be so brave, I think we shall not know
    But far too late it was at last, that tears for you did flow

    As worse and worse they beat you, suspicion it did raise
    But ignored, neglected alas you were,nobody deserves praise

    Oh Dear baby Peter, as tender as a dove
    A tragedy, it truly is you never were shown love

    The mother had two lovers, it is not the natural way
    But natural law has broken down in London’s Haringay

    When at last it came to it, the final blow to your HEAD
    To hospital once more you went, but this time you left DEAD

    The man in charge, whose job it is, to take good care of ALL
    Has failed you, and many more, its time for him to FALL

  18. on 21 Dec 2009 at 9:43 pm Felix Castor

    @B S Eliot

    Good point. Some things really aren’t that funny.

    I now feel like a twat.

    Girl, Interrupted is enough for me. Not only does it have Brittany Murphy in it – who I’d never heard of, but had seen the movie – but sometimes it can also be Man, Interrupted. Which just makes me feel closer to Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder. So there you go. Apparently I wank over mentally ill women. And sometimes almost get caught. Just in case you weren’t nudged toward that conclusion. You can send your photos to me via john Adair, c/o HYS, Hull, the Moon.

    “The mother had two lovers, it is not the natural way
    But natural law has broken down in London’s Haringay”
    That’s got a definite air of Betjemen about it – Cockney Amorist type stuff. I bet Jamie T could fit it into his next ballad. Oooh, hark at me.

  21. on 21 Dec 2009 at 10:36 pm Clovis Sangrail

    Or even ‘Betjeman’. Cocks.

  22. on 21 Dec 2009 at 11:31 pm Dr Feelgood

    Has someone died?

  23. on 22 Dec 2009 at 12:24 am Clovis Sangrail

    “Has someone died?” – yes, John Betjeman, in 1984. Very sad. It took Warneford87 this long to write a riming pome about it. But then as he/she may not have been born until 1987 I think the delay is partly excusable.

  24. on 22 Dec 2009 at 12:25 am Rachel

    The Warneford is the name of the psychiatric hospital in Oxford. I’m just saying.

  25. on 22 Dec 2009 at 12:38 am YeGods

    Like somebody further up, I was immediately reminded of one of the great War Poets – Baldrick – and his poem to the guns :

    Boom, boom, boom, boom,
    BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
    Boom, boom ……..

    Better than Warneford 87 though.

    I got my Christmas Bonus today – a box of chocs and a company logo diary.

    Bah! Merry Christmas Readers!

    Thanks to Nelson, Kelvin, Alex and NKotB Gainsborg for fighting the forces of darkness with such style all year. SYB is a little flotsam of hope to cling to in a raging sea of vile loathing. Happy Politically Correct Non-Religiously Specific Wishes For The Communal Holiday Season.

    “In the section of heaven where the hearts have stopped”.

    As a boffin, I feel the need to let warneford87 in on a little secret that only scientists know: every dead person’s heart has stopped. All of them. There’s not a single person in heaven whose heart is still pumping, refusing to believe the ugly truth. Of course, Gordon McBroon will be a sort of exception, as he has no heart in the first place (and no, I will not apologise for saying that to the PC-gone-wild briGAYde of za-nEU-LIE-BORE).

  28. on 22 Dec 2009 at 9:32 am My Foot Hurts.

    Who else suspects warneford87 is a Vogon?

    That truly is the worst attempt at poetry I’ve ever read. And I’ve read my Aunty Pat’s efforts.

    The great McGonagall couldn’t have done better.

    Actually, I think he could!

    What about Eric Morecombe playing Keats?

    Two cows chewing grass
    High upon an hillock
    I thought this time tomorrow
    That grass will be mil’k

    There’s not a single person in heaven whose heart is still pumping,

    I think you are forgetting our Lord Jesus, although dead he is alive and has a heart as big as the universe and loves us all.

  31. on 22 Dec 2009 at 9:52 am That Bloke in the Corner

    Shit, where did that come from, sorry all, no need to bring Jesus into it, especially this time of year.
    Back to my corner and think about what I have just posted. Won’t do it again, sorry…sorry.. sor….

  32. on 22 Dec 2009 at 9:56 am My Foot Hurts.

    I just tried rapping it (I’m the only one in the office so far*), thinking that it would make more sense that way, but it still sounds crap.

    I just can’t seem to get the “ring a ding dings” bit in at the end. Or the kisses.

    * I hope

  33. on 22 Dec 2009 at 10:12 am Phil Arious

    There’s not a single person in heaven whose heart is still pumping

    Except Celine Dion, who has that rare medical condition that causes her heart to go on beating for several years after death

  34. on 22 Dec 2009 at 10:13 am anon

    Has someone died?

    Some nobody from tv-land apparantly. For those who spend most of their disposable time sat in front of the telly I imagine it’s a heartbreaker, and right before christmas and all. I’d never heard of her until she died and still do not feel motivated to go buy a tv to find out what it was that I missed. At a gusee, so talentless right-wing bimbette with a photogenic face, big titties, and rich parents.

  35. on 22 Dec 2009 at 10:17 am bolli

    One less house for santa this year? So just because one person in the house dies no-one else is allowed presents? Bereavement is hard enough for family and friends without adding a subconscious veneer of resentment beacuse you get one less present. I had no idea Santa was such a c*nt.

  36. on 22 Dec 2009 at 10:17 am Theodore

    There’s not a single person in heaven whose heart is still pumping,

    I think you are forgetting our Lord Jesus, although dead he is alive and has a heart as big as the universe and loves us all.

    You are forgetting Enoch. He did not die but instead went upstairs with the big G himself. JC actually died but Enoch is the boy you are looking for if you are searching for a beating heart in heaven.

    If you are prepared to believe all that mumbo-jumbo.

    Sod it.

  39. on 22 Dec 2009 at 1:38 pm ignorant BNP bastard

    “You forgot Enoch”

    I’ll never forget Enoch I won’t. He was right woz Enoch. Should have listened to him. Bloody hero of mine. Vote BNP. Enoch woz right.

    Oh, apart from bringing in all those West Indian nurses of course when he was health secretary. But we won’t mention that will we?

  40. on 22 Dec 2009 at 1:40 pm Brittany for the Brittanish !!

    If he liked Brittany so much why don’t he go live there?

    Eh? Eh?

    “In the section of heaven where hearts have stopped”

    There’s probably an angel up there tasked with making sure people get to the right section. “No, madam, you want the stopped hearts section, third cloud on the right…”

  42. on 22 Dec 2009 at 4:50 pm pigfrottage

    Don’t forget Elijah…Taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire.

    Wasn’t there a film about that?

  43. on 22 Dec 2009 at 10:24 pm Jesus Chris

    Ohhhh. She did the voice of Luanne on King of the Hill.

    Actually, without ever knowing her name, I’ve seen fucking loads of her stuff. She was quite good. She was even in one of the Futurama movies.

    Aw. I’m sad now.
