RIP Diddles. Desperately sad news. She recently tweeted a bit about the pain her cancer was causing her, but did it with such humour.

I never really knew her or met her, and its only recently that I connected her on social media outside of thumped. Its strange, but also nice, when you see the person behind the username.

I also recall when Jimmy Corr's sister came onto thumped to thank her for reaching out to him when he was going through his own cancer battle. She said that Diddles gave him great comfort.

We've lost 2 good ones.

Sincerest condolences to her family.

Agreed. I haven’t been on here much so I didn’t know how serious it had gotten again. She was a very lovely person who instantly made me feel comfortable the first and only time I met her (back in 2007 in Sine) for a mini thumped meet. Sadly I wasn’t here when she stopped by the pub but it always meant a lot that she made the effort to pop in.

She spoke very openly about being ill and I was very impressed how brave and determined she was.
Diddles' posts always caught my attention and she had a lot to say.

+1 to this

That's terribly sad. I think I only spoke to her once briefly at a thumped xmas thing. She always seemed very nice. A dreadful shame.

Thanks for letting us know Pete.

Internet scrabble pervert

thumped.com

I think about that thread at least once a week, no idea why.

 

[pete]

She created the most viewed ever thread on here. Now that’s a legacy.

Ahh fuck. I was pretty friendly with Diddles IRL. I havent seen her in years. We were near neighbors in Finglas...so for a couple of years there we seshed on the regular. A fucking quality dude. Absolutely fucking hilarious. Thats how she is my mind.

I drove past her gaf there a couple of weeks ago after doing the recycling and thought to myself ,next time I'm passing Ill pop in and say howya. I also meant to challenge her to game on internet scrabble club...now that I'm back playing against my daughter.

Well I won't be doing that now. RIP Diddles.

Diddles was a consistently warm, kind and funny presence on here and elsewhere.
Can't imagine what it's like for the people that knew and loved her, to have a bright light like that go out.
Never met her, but there was always an aura of mischievous giddiness about her whenever I interacted with her. She was bold.

In life, it's so easy in life to give in to bitterness, anger and hurt. Life is basically always having a go.
And here's this woman, in hospital, in serious pain about to die, and she's making jokes about the food, the meds and the curtains. Like Oscar Wilde cracking wise about the wallpaper. A real one.
She kept her boldness with her all the way. Fair fucks.

I'm glad to have known her.
And we are all gloriously lucky to be alive.

RIP

Man, she was fun

Last night, I dreamt that you had written a book called Hat With Trees. It had a picture of a monkey in a jacket and a man riding a penny farthing on the cover. What's the book about, Johnny? Is it any use, like?

Wasn't it Diddles who managed to get her rottweiler to open the door for her when she locked herself out? I tell that story a lot

 

[Cormcolash]

Aw that's terrible, RIP Diddles

 

[ernesto]

A really lovely very funny women I was fortunate enough to meet a handful of times. Cancer is a Cunt. RIP Diddles
