Xpost pretty good, but "Down by the lawn" is awes.
A bit like when Q magazine (maybe) quoted Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame expressing his appreciation for Bunuel's surrealist masterpiece "Large Door"

I was just thinking last month: the star of Sobibór, October 14, 1943, 4 p.m. is actually a year younger than Lanzmann and still was apparently still alive last time I g-search checked.

“There is no bitterness, only great respect and affection between Sinatra and his first wife,” Gay Talese wrote in 1966. “And he has long been welcome in her home and has even been known to wander in at odd hours, stoke the fire, lie on the sofa, and fall asleep.”

Think it's a slightly old-fashioned midlands thing to use 'dead' as a general intensifier, do other parts of the country / world do that? It's a feature in Mandarin too.
