David Nobbs- writer of the rise and fall of Reggie Perrin age 80- wrote other things as well for The two Ronnies.

Neville Neville, rather young at 65, we know his sons well :evil:

Didnt realise his work with keeping Bury FC afloat though.

RIP to those who died in the bombing at Erawan Shrine, Bangkok today.

A beautiful country and warm, friendly people. Very upsetting news.

RIP yet another temple in Syria.

2000 YEARs 2000 YEARS and the total loonie ISIL decide its offensive ignoring the 1999 years that it seems not to have offended and blow the whole thing up.

sorry but until the last ISIL mudjadeen twat is similarly expunged the world wont rest in peace.

:cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing:

In any case if they were going to blow it up couldnt they at least wait for a few weeks after the transfer window for me to calm down before doing it :box:

R.I.P Rico Rodriguez legendary ska trombonist.

Never got to see him play live, he didn't appear at the Jazz cafe in Camden when I went down in the summer :(

Was awarded an MBE in 2007, worked with the Specials and Jools Holland among others.

Blow Rico Blow.

RIP my friend John who passed way yesterday after an 18 month battle with cancer.. I say my friend which he was but I would have been much closer to his two brothers. Anyway 56 with four teenage/early 20s children who cannot understand why such a good honest father was taken from them. They are not naive just hurt by the cruelty of it.

My generation will remember Brian Close as a hard man cricketer before helmets and padding were used, facing up to the Windies fast attack and just letting them hit him. The youngest player ever to be selected for England. Also Ron Springett, the England keeper from the early sixties that oldies will remember not with affection (no reason to) but with respect.

Sorry to hear this Bradywasking - it does always appear to be the good ones who get hit the worst, while those who choose to live a life being utter wankers scoot through it scot free.
