Title: In Memory of "Friends" Departed

Famous people are dropping like flies at present. I for one cannot be bothered to start a new thread for each one.

It is a sign that we ourselves are not getting any younger. Those we grew up watching and admiring are all dropping off their perches. It comes as a surprise only because we see them still looking hale, hearty and young on the TV and in films. Who would , watching early Only Fools & Horses or Open All Hours, imagine that David Jason is really so old.

In Fools & Horses

He is playing Rincewind the wizard in the Sky adaption of Pratchetts 'Colour of Magic' over easter. Sounds like major miscasting to me.  rubschin:

David Jason? .... Not that I am aware but he is on the TV a lot and the fact that this causes us to not notice the ageing process in Actors etc and that is why their deaths come as a surprise so often is what I was trying to demonstrate. According to this Mr Jason is alive and still earning. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/article888952.ece

Poor odds I should think... but then he'd get excellent medical care...  rubschin:

True, but he could get knocked over by a bus or sumfink

And when did you last see Prince Phillip standing at a bus stop? He has more chance of being flattened by an alien mothership landing in the grounds of Sandringham.

LICENSE PLATES

The state of Idaho issued its first plates in 1913, with the price determined by the value of the vehicle. There were only 2,083 plates issued that year (each vehicle receiving a single plate). Motorcycles were not issued an actual license plate. Instead, the owners simply painted their registry number, state, and year of manufacture on the rear mud guard. In 1917, motorcyclists received their first actual motorcycle plates.

Back then, if a license plate was lost, the motorist could purchase a blank replacement plate that was flat where the numbers would typically be embossed. The owner could then hand paint the license plate number in the flat area. Perhaps that is where Idaho's creative license plate designs first began.

Idaho has a long history of creative plate designs, in fact, it pioneered the concept. In 1928, Idaho became the first state in the nation to feature a graphic on a license plate by proudly displaying an impressive Idaho potato that filled the entire plate.

The 1940 plate commemorated 50 YEARS OF STATEHOOD, and from 1941 to 1946 the words SCENIC IDAHO appeared on Idaho plates. 1947 plates proclaimed the state a VACATION WONDERLAND! The 1948 plate highlighted our most famous product as WORLD FAMOUS POTATOES. In 1953 and 1956, the slogan was modified to read WORLD FAMOUS POTATO, but was shortened to FAMOUS POTATOES in 1957.

Displaying Idaho's passion for the outdoors, and skiing in particular, the 1947 plate featured a ski jumper. But in 1948 and 1949, the famous potato returned, this time in the form of a decal, complete with a pat of butter.

From 1958 through 1968 the plates alternated between a green background with white letters to a white background with green letters. From 1968 through 1990, the standard plate format had a white background with green lettering.

GOVERNOR’S STATEMENT ON J.R. SIMPLOT

(BOISE) – Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter issued the following statement today on the passing of J.R. Simplot.

“J.R. Simplot was a wonderful man and a great mentor who embodied what Idaho is all about. His love of family, his appreciation of America, his work ethic and his devotion to making this a better world through the free enterprise system all are values to which Idaho aspires. He had a huge impact on my life for over 30 years, and I shall miss him.”

Quote

In 1950 Coke embarked on a subsidiary career as a playwright, with a genial comedy entitled The Isle of Umbrellas, a play about weather control co-written with Mabel L Tyrell and produced at the Embassy. But he continued to work on stage, too, appearing in Donald Wolfit's company in Tamburlaine the Great at the Old Vic the following year, during which he dropped his sword on his foot. He finished the scene, but was afterwards carted off to St Thomas's, where he required stitches. He made it unscathed through Wolfit's production of The Clandestine Marriage in December, but in January 1952 he was stabbed during an Old Vic touring production of King Lear in Brussels. He recovered well enough to be "acceptable" as Alcibiades in Timon of Athens (Old Vic, 1952).

Not a relation, I suppose?

Heroic because he knew he would have been shot if he had been discovered by his captors whilst either forging or digging. Heroism is being afraid and still carrying on, recognising danger and accepting it.
Today I have heard the BBC trailers for their Olympic coverage speaking of "Heroic Deeds" to be performed, I have heard Government Ministers speaking of the "Heroric Efforts" of "our" competitors. I'm sorry but winning a gold medal for the 100 yard dash whilst high on an undiscovered drug and displaying your meat and two veg in a lycra outfit does not compare with risking your life to help your comrades escape from a POW camp.

Writer Simon Gray, author of literate, bittersweet plays and diaries, has died at 71 after a year fighting cancer.

The rakish figure, who claimed to consume three bottles of champagne a day, penned more than 30 plays, including Quartermaine's Terms, Otherwise Engaged and The Old Masters.

In 1995, the West End run of Cell Mates was famously curtailed when star Stephen Fry suffered a breakdown and disappeared for days.

Gray just made the episode into a book Fat Chance.

He also wrote five novels and the screenplay for 1987 film A Month in the Country.

But Hants-born ex-lecturer Gray's best-known works were set in universities.

Butley, about a dyspeptic professor in meltdown, was turned into a movie starring Alan Bates and The Common Pursuit was a story of students on a literary mag.

Although Gray sometimes went out of fashion, several of his plays had successful recent revivals. And lately he'd won a new following for his witty memoirs - including The Smoking Diaries and The Last Cigarette - on his battles with producers, alcoholism and a 60-a-day tobacco habit.

He is survived by wife Victoria and a daughter and son from his first marriage..

Soul icon Isaac Hayes dies at 65

Quote from: BBC Web Shite

US singer-songwriter Isaac Hayes has died at his home in Memphis, Tennessee, at the age of 65, police said.

Police were called to Mr Hayes' home after his wife found him unconscious. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead at 1408 (1908 GMT).

Mr Hayes, a flamboyant, deep-voiced performer, won an Oscar for the 1971 hit Theme From Shaft.

He was perhaps better known to a younger audience as the voice of Chef from the hit cartoon show, South Park.

The cause of death was not immediately known.

"Family members believe at this point it is a medical condition that might have led to his death," a police spokesman said, adding Mr Hayes was being treated for "a number of medical issues".

Mr Hayes suffered a stroke in 2006.

I was trying to figure out which film I first saw him in. Probably Hud or Lady L; didn't see The Hustler until much later but he was a strong presence even then ('61).

83's a ripe old age and what a full life. I always thought the Paul Newman dressings were a bit of an unnecessary diversion IMHO  rubschin:

The Dressings were, of course, a product of the Charity Food Company that Newman set up that has, since its inception, channelled millions of $ to the poor.
To put your name, face and money into something like that is, I feel, truly "giving back" something in return for your own good fortune. A far cry to Lloyd Grossman who sold his name and "reputation" in a copy cat operation purely for his own financial benefit.

From Daily Telegraph Obit:

Quote

Newman had a thriving sideline in the manufacture of food and salad dressings, marketed under the name Newman’s Own. The business began in 1962, when he and his neighbour, the writer AE Hotchner, set up a company “as a joke” to sell Newman’s original oil and vinegar dressing.

Within two years, it had become a multi-million dollar enterprise, revenues from which were funnelled into charities and social welfare organisations. It also helped to fund the Scott Newman Foundation, named after the actor’s son from his first marriage, who died of a drug overdose in 1978. The foundation concentrated on making anti-drug instructional films for children.

I'm a bit distracted and thoughtful at the moment; an old friend of mine has died. It was on the cards since another stroke. The first one left him in a wheel chair some years back but still with a razor sharp mind and wit. A life in the law led to many stories which I'm mulling over now as I wait to hear details of the funeral.
He was once asked to be on the defence for Saunders in the Guinness trial. It was a normal day in the office only one of the legs of his desk was broken and he was underneath it when there was a knock on the door. In walked Saunders saying,
"Good Morning, I believe you can help me."
"On the contrary" said my friend. "You can help me by holding this desk up while I fix the leg!"
He took the brief with a screwdriver in hand whilst staring at Saunders trousers!

R.I.P. good friend.

Grand story.
Has anyone written down your late friend's tales? ~ Might be worth while as long as the family don't object. Books, as you know as well as I do, make very little money but sometimes things are just too good not to record for posterity.

A stroke is one of my fears, although they tell me it is unlikely given the heart medication I take, but to be stuck unable to communicate whilst the brain is still active must be an absolute bastard.

About the bloke that pulls a bird in the pub and she agrees to shag him?

They get outside and they are so desperate that she suggests they do it in his car instead.

Well, he only has an old white van so they get in the back of that.

However, she says she can only get truly aroused if she is whipped into a state of sexual frenzy.

Lacking a whip in the back of his van, the bloke breaks off the aerial and gives her a good thrashing with that.

After a good shagging session, she insists that she gives him a good thrashing with the aerial before ‘Round # 2’ which she duly does and they get down to it again.

Anyhoo… a week later and he is suffering from the most terrible back pain. He eventually has to go to the doctor who examines him and pronounces…

“That’s the worst case of Van aerial Disease I’ve ever seen”!

Nurse Chapel has died.  cry:

She was also Lwaxana Troi in STTNG and of course the widow of Gene Roddenbury.

Majel Barrett Roddenberry passed away this morning, December 18, 2008, at 12:27 AM in her Bel Air home. She died peacefully, in her sleep, and was surrounded by family and loved ones.

"My mother truly acknowledged and appreciated the fact that Star Trek fans played a vital role in keeping the Roddenberry dream alive for the past 42 years. It was her love for the fans, and their love in return, that kept her going for so long after my father passed away." - Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry, Jr.

Blossom Dearie: Missed in the hubbub of last week's Grammys was the loss of one of the sweetest voices in the jazz world (or any other); the singer died in her sleep at 82. For those who aren't familiar, think back to "Figure Eight" or "Unpack Your Adjectives" from the "Schoolhouse Rock" cartoons. Who else could've made multiplication tables sound as lovely and smooth?

Elaine Page announced it on the Radio on Sunday afternoon. I didn't bother the members as his age was outside of the range we are curreently seeking.

I don't think so. It doesn't appear in his list of "credits"

I recall that one character in the Original Flying Doctor series (and there has been more than one although they changed the name on later series to The Flying Doctors) was an actor by the name of Dawson ~ a real Aussie who later popped up on "Emergency Ward Ten" along with Desmond Carrington

He seems to have been around forever though.

Post by: Snoopy on June 03, 2009, 05:41:24 PM

Update: Dawson was not one of the main characters in the Flying Doctor so perhaps he had a minor role or my memory is shot.
the main cast are given here and includes Patrick Troughton who went on to be a Dr Who!

The Kung Fu and Kill Bill star was found with a noose around his neck and another rope around his genitals in a wardrobe in his hotel room in Bangkok.
Police commander Lieutenant General Worapong Siewpreecha said it was unclear whether the 72-year-old killed himself or died from suffocation or heart failure due to ejaculation.
"There was a rope tied around his neck and another rope tied at his sex organ, and the two ropes were tied together and hung in the closet," he said.

Since Carradine was found last Thursday there have been conflicting reports on the circumstances of his death. Family members insist the Kill Bill star would not have committed suicide and his US-based lawyer Vicki Roberts claimed the star had been murdered.

Relatives went on to suggest he had been assassinated for delving into the affairs of secretive martial arts sects associated with crime. A panel member on the Larry King show on US television said: 'David was very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies.'

Perhaps rope in Thailand is thinner  rubschin:

Quote

Thai investigators believe the star of the 1970s TV series Kung Fu died during an auto-erotic sex act and are no longer treating the case as a simple suicide.

"There was a rope tied around his neck and another rope tied to his genitals, and the two ropes were tied together and they hung in the closet," L Gen Worapong Siewpreecha said.

"Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide."

This is surely, got to be made up ... can you imagine being briefed by someone called Worapong?  lol: lol:

Obit:

Quote

Dash Snow, the elusive New York artist who embodied a low-brow, downtown vibe fuelled equally by gleeful acts of social subversion and a hedonistic hunger for illegal drugs and high jinks of the flesh, has died from a heroin overdose, aged 27.


Snow, with unruly hair and beard, became the mythical hero of an artistic underworld in lower Manhattan after a profile published in New York magazine in 2007, "Chasing Dash Snow", by Ariel Levy. Celebrated almost as much for his on-the-edge lifestyle in a city of growing conformity as for his art, Snow was best known for his photographs, sculptures and collages.

"It's funny to me that Dash has become like a rock star, but he's so paranoid," Ryan McGinley, the photographer and a close friend, told New York. "That comes from graffiti culture ? like, you want everybody to know who you are and you're going to write your name all over the city, but you can't let anyone know who you really are. It's, like, this idea of being notorious."
He is survived by his wife, Agathe Snow, and a daughter, Secret Magic Nico Snow (!), who he had with the fashion model Jade Berreau.

I'm surprised he lasted so long.

fter a lean period, he was excited to be offered a part in a new BBC science fiction series. His agent told him he would not need to learn any lines for the casting, and when he arrived at the BBC workshops he was asked to strip down to his underpants and sit in what appeared to be a tub on castors.
Summerton (who was one of the four original Daleks) was instructed in how to move this apparatus about, the director saying: "We want to test this prototype for manoeuvrability. We want you to move forwards, backwards, sideways. Quickly, slowly." Presently the director lowered a lid over him with a plunger sticking out of it. Summerton found himself in total darkness. He would later relate: "When the lid went on I knew my career as an actor was over."

"A life less ordinary" indeed!  happy088

Hugh Millais summed up his recipe for life: "75 years, 0 hours of labour, 40,000 bottles of wine, a pinch of Song, Women (to taste). Sozzle gently over a low lifestyle, leave to marinade slowly, bring to fruition. Garnish the whole thing wildly in the telling."

A touch of hyperbole of course.

Hello Miss Demeanor...

I won't be running for the hills...I have been reading the forum for a while and I know one of the predominant members here from another forum.  ;D

I like this forum and the quick witted members...the forum is kind of cosy, but I will need some time to settle in as I don't know most of you.

It should be fun getting to know each other.

I will tell you a bit about myself as we go along.  ;D

Oddly there was a TV programme on him yesterday, the review in today's Indie.

Some folk are also inclined to mistake blokeishness for being a nice bloke, as became clear in Keith Meets Keith, a strange but compelling documentary in which one well-known roisterer, Keith Allen, went in search of another, the former TV chef Keith Floyd, finding him in a village near Avignon looking terrible, at least one decade and possibly two older than his 65 years.

There is already plenty of evidence to suggest that Floyd is not a particularly nice man, and plenty more emerged here, but his unflagging capacity to drink, smoke and swear to excess ? including a liberal sprinkling of the c-word, which has officially lost its status as the last TV taboo ? was seemingly enough to convince Allen that he was "one of the most honest and genuine people I've ever met". Now, I don't mean to sound pious. I've even been known to enjoy a spot of carousing myself. But there was nothing honest or genuine in the gruesome spectacle of Floyd getting steadily more hammered, more melancholy and more abusive at a lunch with his daughter Poppy, from whom he had been estranged for 10 years. It was car-crash television. The only thing more agonising than watching was not watching.

Smoked, drank copious mounts of alcohol, ate foods rich in cream, butter etc. Pretty much on the cards I'd have said.

Because we all know that smoking causes cancer and heart problems ~ although I doubt that he ever stuck a lit ciggy up his backside never the less the anti smoking brigade will add him to their oft quoted statistics because it will suit their case.

He knew what he was doing, took the chances and has now paid the price. Somehow I doubt that he had too many regrets about his lifestyle.

A woman calling herself Princess Yasmine von Hohenstaufen Anjou Plantagenet wrote to the newly-elected Italian president, Giorgio Napolitano, claiming that she was the true heir to Seborga's throne and offering to hand it over to Italy. Carbone gruffly dismissed her claim, voicing doubts over her lineage: "I have never seen her," he said. "We call her the internet princess".

Fred Wedlock aged 67

Quote

The Bristol entertainment scene is mourning the passing of Fred Wedlock ? The Oldest Swinger In Town ? who has passed away at the age of 67.

A prolific songwriter, Mr Wedlock had been a familiar name on the Bristol scene for more than 40 years ? producing a raft of popular comedy folk ballads, as well as fronting television and radio programmes.

It seems appropriate to show this

The fast bowler made his Surrey debut in 1939 and retired from the game in 1960 after taking 236 wickets in 51 Tests and later served a 12-year term as England's chairman of selectors until 1981. He was knighted for his services to cricket in 1996.

I remember him playing ~ one of my early heroes.

Quote

Jimmy Dean Foods is a food company that was founded in 1969 by country singer and actor Jimmy Dean. It was purchased by Consolidated Foods, (later renamed Sara Lee Corporation).

Dean founded the Jimmy Dean Sausage brand of breakfast sausage was originally called "Pure Pork Sausage." Despite ups and downs (some revolving around his problems with his partner-brother Don Dean), the Jimmy Dean Sausage company did well, in part due to Dean's own extemporized, good-humored commercials.

Dean remained involved in running the company after the takeover, though they eventually began phasing him out of any management duties, a traumatic period that took a toll on his health. By 2004, he was no longer acting as spokesman, and enjoyed his retirement living with second wife Donna Meade Dean, whom he married in 1991. Jimmy Dean died June 13th, 2010.

In 2007, the company received brief national attention after a caller's complaint was posted on the Internet, angry about having a 16-ounce sausage roll reduced to 12 ounces.

Apparently one of his advertising slogans was
"I'm Jimmy Dean and I'd like you to try my pure pork sausage"

BM might like to try that one out sometime.  whistle:

Martin.  51.  Watching the TV last night  eeek:

I see his wife most morning's walking their dog in the park. She also works part time in the Haircutters so we often have a chat and exchange a Good Morning.
She went off to bed last night and he said he'd be up shortly; she fell to sleep and woke about 5:00 this morning to find him dead on the sofa  eeek:

No rhyme nor reason at this point. She is inconsolable  sad24:

Went to a sudden death once...TV was still on so watched the Grand Prix until the undertakers arrived. The deceased was sat in his armchair...cup of cold tea by his side.

Went to another one and the deceased had collapsed on the sofa. His wife covered him over with a colourful blanket. My mate sat down on the sofa and asked where the body was...

Sorry to hear that TMR - takes a certain amount of courage to take your own life and all of us that moan about 'our lot' should remember how bad it could be...

I think it is sad that suicide is such a taboo subject - mainly for religious reasons - which forces people like Spencer to take such drastic measure and leaves people like JOM to clear up the mess...

I think it should be open to all of us to terminate our life painlessly when we've had enough of it.

What an extraordinary body of work that man has left behind. I'd have no problem choosing his music alone for a Desert Island Discs selection, in fact I might put together some favourites elsewhere in the VP.
The only time I ever saw him in the flesh he was on the bill at some theatre in Manchester along with Adam Faith, the Karl Denver Trio and of course his JB7. Heady stuff as I was only a 10 year old  angel1
In some way he's provided much of the soundtrack for the years I've lived starting with the late 50's band music, the early 60's JB7, all most of the James Bond theme tunes, a few Michael Caine movies and many, many more besides.
If you haven't heard "The Beyondness of Things", try it.

George Shearing, yesterday aged 91.

He was appointed OBE in 1996. In 2007 he was knighted. "So," he noted later, "the poor, blind kid from Battersea became Sir George Shearing. Now that's a fairy tale come true."

I think that's a "Given" BM.

Clearly some in the Pakistan Government were happy to have Bin Laden there and equally clearly some told the Yanks where he was and how to get him. Best thing we can now do is stay vigilant and keep our heads down. Bin Laden's followers will, no doubt, be looking to strike back and I suspect we in the "West" will learn that sometimes it is better the devil you know than the one you don't.

Like Ireland, Islam is a problem that has been with us for centuries and neither are going to go away any time soon. The UK is an island (or collection thereof) and it ought to be easy to filter out those who would do us harm. We have let them in..... BIG mistake but it is correctable with firm and fast action. Fvck Human Rights and Asylum Seekers. We have rights too. Time somebody stood up for them the way we used to.

Well if you gotta go then that's the way to do it.


Knew a bloke once (Porter at the Open University). Keen darts player and even keener drinker. League match in the uni bar .... scored treble 19, double 16 to win the match and put the team top of the league. Retrieved his darts from the board, drained his pint and dropped down dead with a massive stroke. Even his wife, who was there said "It's the way he would have wanted to go ... darts in one hand, beer in the other, and all his mates applauding his winning arrows"

Yesterday my mate Arkwright sent me a text asking if the Easyjet from Glasgow landed in the North or South terminal. I told him it was the South and as luck would have it, I was in charge of the offload. He then told me to look out for 2 bags in the name of "Lyndsey". So I did and they went up the reclaim belt first and foremost. I thought no more of it.

Today Arkwright sent me a text saying the reason he enquired was that he was picking up the 2 Lyndseys from the airport as they are relatives of his next door neighbour - and good friend of mine - Ewan. 

I had a couple of beers with Ewan last Thursday.

Now he's clinically dead and they're turning the machines off. He was 46 and recently became a grandfather.

'Bye mate.

No.

Sick of being shot down by the vast majority on other forum that seem to be treating her like some sort of godess. eeek:
All self inflicted so no sympathy from me. She was a smack head and abuser of alchohol. Crap role model. End of.

Only sympathy goes out to the ones close to her (family) but I didn't know them. so they get the same treatment in the sympathy stakes that any other stranger would. People die every second of every day. We simply all have to get on with it.

Meanwhile, a writer in the Telegraph recalls a friend dying 10 years ago this week:

I like this bit ...

The question people always ask me when I tell them the story is whether we finished dinner. No, we didn’t. I knew only one person who would have carried on eating in those circumstances, and he had just died.

My uncle also died this week. Walking to the pub with a friend and simply dropped dead in mid conversation. He was 82 so not so bad. But knowing him as I did he would have rather have dropped on the way BACK from the pub!  noooo:

He only outlived his wife by 6 months so 2nd funeral this year.  surrender:

Yes. The hospital told me yesterday that she had been put on the Care Pathway so I knew it was only a matter of a day or two. Her nephew has just been here and he doesn't seem to have much of a clue as to what to do. I already knew about her death as another neighbour had tried to visit and was about 5 minutes too late.
Was hoping to see the the year out without another funeral but it ain't to be.
My last remaining uncle may not last the year either (he was 80 last week) - prostate cancer.

Yaffa Yarkoni, a singer who belted out wartime songs only to become a critic of the Israeli military late in life, died Sunday after a battle with Alzheimer's disease. She was 86.

Yarkoni went from entertaining soldiers as a wartime songbird to criticizing the Israeli military's treatment of Palestinians during their uprising last decade. After chiding the military in 2002, Yarkoni was branded a traitor by soldiers' families, received death threats and had a gala tribute to her career canceled. A group of artists held an alternative event to support her freedom of expression.

More money than sense obviously, but we will hear nothing else on the ''news'' for days and all her albums will be re-released and go to number one and everybody will say how wonderful she was. Just saying like, I am sure nobody on here ( with one exception) will agree Shrugs:

Post by: Miss Demeanour on February 12, 2012, 07:49:47 AM

Well quite frankly my dear , I agree with you  lol:

She had a talent, she made hoooge wealth out of it , she married a bloke and it didn't work out and she blames him for her addiction to drugs  ::)

She had a daughter she claims she loves but that wasn't enough to stop her cleaning up her act and the drugs eventually destroyed her voice.

There will be all sorts of bollocks about not coping with fame and stuff but quite frankly this is the life you have chosen , that you make incredible amounts of money with and provide you with a lifestyle others can only dream of , and you just waste it.

Seriously though, we now have a child without a mother, due to the selfishness of said mother. If Whitney had as many ''true'' friends as are coming out of the woodwork now to say how wonderful she was, then those ''true'' friends should have helped her when she needed it most.

I know nothing about her apart that she sang songs that weren't to my taste. So no speculation from me. That is apart from buying some shares in her record company (are they still called that?) Why do people dash out and buy the music of recently deceased singers?

Disabled rights campaigner Lord Ashley of Stoke has died aged 89.

The former Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent died on Friday night after a short battle with pneumonia, his family said.

The country's first deaf MP, Jack Ashley represented Stoke-on-Trent for 26 years until 1992 when he was made a Labour peer.

Born in Widnes, Lord Ashley was best known as a vigorous campaigner for disabled rights and was a supporter of those affected by the drug Thalidomide.

Jamaican double bassist Lloyd Brevett, whose band The Skatalites pioneered ska music and paved the way for reggae, has died at the age of 80.



AND

Brevett suffered a stroke in March, two weeks after his son was murdered.

Thirty two-year-old Okine was shot outside the family's home in Kingston hours after he had accepted a Jamaican music industry award on his father's behalf.

 Robert Gene White.

They say you should go out doing what you love. A 67-year-old Texas man may have taken that inspirational advice to heart Friday night when he died at a strip club while getting erotic lap dances. According to a manager at the Red Parrot, Robert Gene White was face-deep in pelvic gyrations when it came time to pay the girls and he was found unresponsive. Staff attempted CPR before calling emergency responders, who took the man to the hospital. We can only guess White's final earthly sights, but we're pretty sure he passed on to the other side with pleasant visions in tow.

Edit:
And what got missed off the post (see what I did there?), was that for us at the time he was just some old boy teaching us a thing or two about footie. Little did we know that he'd made 200+ appearances for Spurs, scored 50+ times, played for England in the Olympics etc ... shallow youths that we were in the presence of a true professional  noooo:

Met him once ~ lovely bloke ....... The glasses he always wore had no glass in them, they were a way of disguising hearing aids.
He used to put his finger through the "glass" to rub his eyes.

No. He was a loner.
he was engaged to a girl during the 2nd WW, but she was tragically killed by a bomb whilst tending to the injured in an ambulance.
He NEVER got over it, stating that 2nd best would never do, but also that he wished he'd been allowed to marry her and have a family.
I felt a tear in my eye reading that.

Terrific talent.  Anyone else remember that Pie in the Sky series?

Yes! I do.
Like most "Police Dramas" with the exception of Hill Street Blues" it followed a formula that was actually unbelievable. It was entertaining for all that.

Iain (M) Banks  (http://io9.com/iain-m-banks-posts-a-sad-brave-announcement-of-his-im-468426237)~ not quite but has booked his slot.


I have cancer. It started in my gall bladder, has infected both lobes of my liver and probably also my pancreas and some lymph nodes, plus one tumour is massed around a group of major blood vessels in the same volume, effectively ruling out any chance of surgery to remove the tumours either in the short or long term.

The bottom line, now, I’m afraid, is that as a late stage gall bladder cancer patient, I’m expected to live for ‘several months’ and it’s extremely unlikely I’ll live beyond a year. So it looks like my latest novel, The Quarry, will be my last.

As a result, I’ve withdrawn from all planned public engagements and I’ve asked my partner Adele if she will do me the honour of becoming my widow (sorry – but we find ghoulish humour helps). By the time this goes out we’ll be married and on a short honeymoon. We intend to spend however much quality time I have left seeing family. and relations and visiting places that have meant a lot to us. Meanwhile my heroic publishers are doing all they can to bring the publication date of my new novel forward by as much as four months, to give me a better chance of being around when it hits the shelves.

Excellent writer.

The blot?  Do you not remember the Poll Tax?   

She didn't muck about she just did stuff.  Much good, some bad.

I personally did very well out of the Thatcher years but a lot of good people were destroyed.   A large number of stupid ways were thrown in the bin and she tried to give us one or two stupid ways in return.

Still RIP to her.

Does Woodstock remember Woodstock?

Woodstock was 10 years old ..... She has heard of Woodstock but has no memory of it.

Drugs eh...?  noooo:

Do you know I really believe she has never used any .... ever.  noooo: Too young again you see.

She even refused an pain relief when having our three children .... not even "gas and air".  Shocked:

In all our years together I have never seen her take anything stronger than the odd ciggy and a single malt.  noooo:

He was just magic, could play anywhere but sadly for only a few seasons before his weight went up.  I remember his part in an amazing United rescue after I'd traveled far to Wolves only to see Wolves go 2:0 up - fear not, Greenhof equalised and we won in extra time  ;D

I'd say RIP but I hope wherever he is he's scoring that equaliser over and over again.

Seen elsewhere.

Just out for a walk after an early stack
Not looking for trouble not watching my back
Mothers with prams holding hands with their kids
Not paying attention to the car as it skids
Caught completely off guard not expecting what comes
One man with a knife another with guns.
No chance of defence no chance to fight back
Looking for help as the cowards attack
An angel arrives as the light turns to grey
A woman attempts to steer attackers away
My last thought of ‘Thank You’ never strays from my brain
As my body shuts down and I feel no more pain.

I look to my left and I look to my right
Thousands of squaddies are all that’s in sight
Uniforms are crisp and their faces are clean
No sign of anger or hate to be seen
As if by command they salute all as one
The RSM smiles, says ‘Welcome home son’.

RIP Lee Rigby.

Iain (M) Banks  (http://io9.com/iain-m-banks-posts-a-sad-brave-announcement-of-his-im-468426237)~ not quite but has booked his slot.


I have cancer. It started in my gall bladder, has infected both lobes of my liver and probably also my pancreas and some lymph nodes, plus one tumour is massed around a group of major blood vessels in the same volume, effectively ruling out any chance of surgery to remove the tumours either in the short or long term.

The bottom line, now, I’m afraid, is that as a late stage gall bladder cancer patient, I’m expected to live for ‘several months’ and it’s extremely unlikely I’ll live beyond a year. So it looks like my latest novel, The Quarry, will be my last.

As a result, I’ve withdrawn from all planned public engagements and I’ve asked my partner Adele if she will do me the honour of becoming my widow (sorry – but we find ghoulish humour helps). By the time this goes out we’ll be married and on a short honeymoon. We intend to spend however much quality time I have left seeing family. and relations and visiting places that have meant a lot to us. Meanwhile my heroic publishers are doing all they can to bring the publication date of my new novel forward by as much as four months, to give me a better chance of being around when it hits the shelves.

Excellent writer.

 Sadly, at the age of 59, he now occupies his slot  (http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/jun/09/iain-banks-dies)   sad24:

I am still an urgent care driver for out of hours GP's on a weekend...Last night we saw around 5 old people (one aged 60, the rest in their 80's), all close to death and circling the drain. Kept alive for so long, with no quality of life and no dignity, very sad  noooo:.

so very sad, we were stunned. However, they each lost their partners within the last few years, we can only take a kind of comfort in the fact that they no longer have the heartache of missing their wife/husband. I'm not at all religious, but Ken would still come and sit in the pub on his own without Pearl and it was never right not to see them together, same with Judy. Maybe now they are together...if not, their heartbreak of loss is over and I like to think they are at peace together. Bless them. Wonderful people I am happy to have known. X X

Dear All

I'm very sad to advise that my dear friend (aka 'Tinkerbell') who some of you may remember as one of our pub members from previous times, sadly lost her recent battle against Cancer.

She died around 4. a.m. at the Coleman Hospice in Norfolk where she had been cared for over the last three weeks.

She was, as already stated, a very dear friend but also a very brave lady you managed the notice (this time last year) of a secondary stomach cancer, primary source unknown, with bravery and dignity. 

She had already, one felt, had her share of this disease having been diagnosed but beaten primary breast Cancer fifteen years prior.

Please join me and raise a large glass of your favourite tipple to the memory of the joy of having had her in our lives, the pleasure she gave to her friends and family and wish her a safe journey onwards to whatever lies beyond what we know.

Fly away Tinkerbell to better things

“That’s the fastest time ever run – but it’s not as fast as the world record.”

“A truly international field, no Britons involved.”

The Republic of China – back in the Olympic Games for the first time.”

“Don’t tell those coming in the final result of that fantastic match, but let’s just have another look at Italy’s winning goal.”

“He’s 31 this year – last year he was 30.”

“He just can’t believe what’s not happening to him.”

“In a moment we hope to see the pole vault over the satellite.”

“He is accelerating all the time. The last lap was run in 64 seconds and the one before that in 62.”

“It’s gold or nothing ... and it’s nothing. He comes away with the silver medal.”

“There is Brendan Foster, by himself with 20,000 people.”

“Forest have now lost six matches without winning.”

“The front wheel crosses the finish line, closely followed by the back wheel.”

“And here’s Moses Kiptanui – the 19-year-old Kenyan who turned 20 a few weeks ago.”

“If that had gone in, it would have been a goal.”

“This evening is a very different evening from the morning we had this morning.”

“I think there is no doubt, she’ll probably qualify for the final.”

“Nobody has ever won the title twice before. He (Roger Black) has already done that.”

“Both of the Villa scorers – Withe and Mortimer – were born in Liverpool as was the Villa manager Ron Saunders who was born in Birkenhead.”

"And the line-up for the final of the women's 400 metres hurdles includes three Russians, two East Germans, a Pole, a Swede and a Frenchman."

"Morcelli has the four fastest 1,500 metre times ever. And all those times are at 1,500 metres"

"He is even smaller in real life than he is on the track"

"One of the great unknown champions, because very little is known about him"

"This could be a repeat of what will happen in the European games next week"

"Here are some names to look forward to, perhaps in the future"

"Ingrid Kristiansen has smashed the world record, running the 5,000 metres in 14:58:09. Truly amazing. Incidentally this is a personal best for Ingrid Kristiansen"

"We estimate, and this isn't an estimation, that Greta Waitz is 80 seconds behind"

"There's going to be a real ding-dong when the bell goes"

"He's seven seconds ahead and that's a good question."

"I have the feeling she (Manuela Machado) is an athlete who likes to get away from the opposition."

"He's got his hands on his knees and holds his head in despair."

Its not that surprising if you think about it, the concepts that ultimately formed Bushido had centuries to reinforce that a warrior does not surrender and those that do are little more than honourless animals . By the 1930's the one of the most famous and the primary text used in the teaching of the samurai code was the Hagakure, written by Yamamoto Tsunetomo, which was printed around 1715 if memory serves. The core principle of what was written in the book was that being resolved to die would give rise to a higher state of being.

Quote

“Bushido is realized in the presence of death. This means choosing death whenever there is a choice between life and death. There is no other reasoning.”

This means that obedience without question and not surrendering was hammered into their pre war armed forces from the start of their training and also explains why kamikaze attacks were so common and in the case of this officer why his superior had to come and order him to stand down.

He used to live next door to Mrs ex-Baldy.

Sir Christopher Lee  sad24:

From the early Hammer Horror films I grew up with to James Bond, Gormenghast, playing Death in the Diskworld adaptations, Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings films, not to mention his heavy metal musical career he was always someone I would really enjoy watching perform.

A true legend who never let fame get the better of him.

From the early Hammer Horror films I grew up with to James Bond, Gormenghast, playing Death in the Diskworld adaptations, Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings films, not to mention his heavy metal musical career he was always someone I would really enjoy watching perform.

A true legend who never let fame get the better of him.

No she's not dead.  In fact in a recent entry she told how 2 weeks ago she'd been given maybe a few more months of life having been terminally ill for some time.  ;D

But she's not blogging and has taken down all her entries that challenged so much that needs challenging and we have lost a superb daily must read.

On a lighter note this was her penultimate post

Friday 13th – Lucky for some!

Wow! Just wow!

Ms Raccoon has just returned from the hospital. Ten months ago they thought I had 'two months at best' - at that point you are formally designated 'terminally ill'; that in itself opens all sorts of doors, and not just that of the local funeral parlour, but in terms of drug trials.

Thus, since June I have bene taking a drug called Letrozole, which has had great success with some of the breast cancers, but was an unknown quantity in terms of the cancer I have. I have to say, it is like being run over by a bus - the side effects are legion, and occupy three pieces of A4 paper. I was more than ready to quit after the first three month scan, but was persuaded to hang on a bit longer on the grounds that it hadn't had long enough to take effect.

I did. Today I got the results.

Its only bloody worked! No new tumours, no growth on any of the existing tumours. It's not technically remission, since it is only designed to prevent further growth rather than actually cure me - but given that this is the third bout of this cancer, I'm pretty stunned.

Not only that, but I got home just in time to pick up a call from Cameron that I wrote about a few days ago. He was in court today to answer his charge of 'violent behaviour' following him giving the police a piece of his mind regarding 'false allegations' when they finally decided that he was not the 'alleged paedophile' in their cctv. He spent all day hanging around court, cheered and supported by one of the commentators here, who shall be nameless (and grateful thanks to him from Cameron and me). Three times the court room was changed as the day dragged on with no explanation, until finally they were called in - to be told that the police did not want to proceed with the prosecution!

So, much celebration in the Cameron ranks tonight.....we never give in!

Drinks are on me tonight - and see you all next week. Anna

Lemmy to be interred in giant pyramid

Armies of Motorhead fans dressed in loincloths are reported to be converging on Stoke on Trent.
“No ordinary tomb is good enough for our Leader, “ said High Priest Kevin Noggs, “ we estimate that with the assistance of modern aids like JCBs we can construct a pyramid modelled on that of Cheops in less than a month. Lemmy will be kept on ice, with Jack Daniel’s, until it is ready for his final journey into the afterlife.”
Local worshippers are already quarrying gigantic stone cubes spurred on by Motorhead albums blasting into the quarries through gigantic speaker sets.
“Our womenfolk are preparing suitable robes and a huge black hat and feasting food to accompany him into the afterlife, mainly raw meat, whisky and Marlboro.”

When the tomb is complete it is anticipated that Lemmy will be paraded through the streets of Stoke on a black throne before being fired into the heart of the pyramid with explosive charges. “It is what he would have wanted. We are also sending in his bass guitars and some blow up sex dolls, just in case.”

Followers dressed as cowboys plan to guard the tomb for all eternity.

“No ordinary tomb is good enough for our Leader, “ said High Priest Kevin Noggs, “ we estimate that with the assistance of modern aids like JCBs we can construct a pyramid modelled on that of Cheops in less than a month. Lemmy will be kept on ice, with Jack Daniel’s, until it is ready for his final journey into the afterlife.”
Local worshippers are already quarrying gigantic stone cubes spurred on by Motorhead albums blasting into the quarries through gigantic speaker sets.
“Our womenfolk are preparing suitable robes and a huge black hat and feasting food to accompany him into the afterlife, mainly raw meat, whisky and Marlboro.”

When the tomb is complete it is anticipated that Lemmy will be paraded through the streets of Stoke on a black throne before being fired into the heart of the pyramid with explosive charges. “It is what he would have wanted. We are also sending in his bass guitars and some blow up sex dolls, just in case.”

Followers dressed as cowboys plan to guard the tomb for all eternity.

facepalm:

A relative who has spent too long in the USA tells me that this is "very offensive". He is clearly a twat and I told him he has been abroad for too long. Another one off my Christmas card list noooo:

Friday 13th – Lucky for some!

Wow! Just wow!

Ms Raccoon has just returned from the hospital. Ten months ago they thought I had 'two months at best' - at that point you are formally designated 'terminally ill'; that in itself opens all sorts of doors, and not just that of the local funeral parlour, but in terms of drug trials.

Thus, since June I have bene taking a drug called Letrozole, which has had great success with some of the breast cancers, but was an unknown quantity in terms of the cancer I have. I have to say, it is like being run over by a bus - the side effects are legion, and occupy three pieces of A4 paper. I was more than ready to quit after the first three month scan, but was persuaded to hang on a bit longer on the grounds that it hadn't had long enough to take effect.

I did. Today I got the results.

Its only bloody worked! No new tumours, no growth on any of the existing tumours. It's not technically remission, since it is only designed to prevent further growth rather than actually cure me - but given that this is the third bout of this cancer, I'm pretty stunned.

Not only that, but I got home just in time to pick up a call from Cameron that I wrote about a few days ago. He was in court today to answer his charge of 'violent behaviour' following him giving the police a piece of his mind regarding 'false allegations' when they finally decided that he was not the 'alleged paedophile' in their cctv. He spent all day hanging around court, cheered and supported by one of the commentators here, who shall be nameless (and grateful thanks to him from Cameron and me). Three times the court room was changed as the day dragged on with no explanation, until finally they were called in - to be told that the police did not want to proceed with the prosecution!

So, much celebration in the Cameron ranks tonight.....we never give in!

Drinks are on me tonight - and see you all next week. Anna

My pal Sally Gutteridge posted this on Faceache

o very sad to hear this news . Such a huge part of my life . Great pals with my dad and his hero . Perhaps they can share stories on a cloud . I still believe he gave dad an extra 20 years of life . Dad was very ill in hospital and refused visitors . Ali was in London and immediately came to his bedside . Dad woke up to find him praying and holding his hand . He thought he was hallucinating . But then he recovered . Not a miracle or gift from God but a sudden realisation that life was worth fighting for . I'm so grateful for that . He lived on to see 2 daughters marry , 4 grandsons , get an OBE and a This is your life tribute . Sorry I'm feeling emotional and this is ending up an Obit for dad . Of course today is the time to remember the life of a sporting giant and all round great man. Sleep well big man

Well, it got so that every piss-ant prairie punk who thought he could shoot a gun would ride into town to try out the Waco Kid. I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille. It got pretty gritty. I started to hear the word "draw" in my sleep. Then one day, I was just walking down the street when I heard a voice behind me say, "Reach for it, mister!" I spun around... and there I was, face to face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass. So I limped to the nearest saloon, crawled inside a whiskey bottle... and I've been there ever since.

RIP Gene, you'll be sorely missed.

(you can find him on you tube )..

"Thalidomide victim Ray "Duch" Peter was born with two club feet and underwent numerous painful operations as a child to have his legs straightened. As a result he has had to walk with crutches for most of his life.

But this didn't stop him from becoming a criminal known as "The Regulator" selling guns and drugs.

The former gangster, from Lewisham, south-east London, said he has now turned his life around with a mix of martial arts and music.

He hopes his story, told in his autobiography, "A Fighting Chance", will have a positive impact on young people by teaching them to stay away from crime.

"The prison system saved me and I have now moved my life on."

"Guns, drugs, you name it, I've done it," he said. "In fact, it's better for me to tell you what I've not done."

"But I am not proud of what I have done but I feel that my story needs to be told.

"I wrote the book because I wanted to put back into society what I had so dearly squeezed out.

"I wanted to put together a message together for kids to say that prison is not cool, it destroys and takes away years of your life."

Mr Peter, who is now married with four children, walks with the aid of crutches and £4,000 splints, made from titanium.

He spent most of his childhood in care and most of his adult life in prison for various offences.

One of the "worst moments" of his childhood was when he spent time at Princes Lodge in Limehouse, east London, which he described as for "down and outs".

"It is where I came across all sorts and basically got caught up in a world which I couldn't escape from," he said of the place, now called The Mission.

Between the ages of 16 and 35 he spent nine years in some of Britain's most notorious jails, including Belmarsh Prison.

But the turning point in Mr Peter's life came when his son told a teacher he was going to get his father to shoot him when he got reprimanded at school.

"I was in prison at the time and when I heard this I was so ashamed," said Ray.

"I decided that I was not going to allow my son to be a gangster. I knew I had to stop what I was doing."

Although he had an unhappy childhood, one of Mr Peter's best memories was being looked after by a family from Singapore and became a karate expert.

As well as martial arts, he also has a passion for music.

He formed a band, Harlequin, 18 years ago and now hopes to land a record deal.

"I want to show disabled people and everyone really that there is a fighting chance.

"There is life after prison. If I can do it with my disability, anyone can do it," Ray said.

Mr Peter feels prison has given him another chance.

"The prison system saved me and I have now moved my life on," he said.

"I'm ashamed of my past but my life is now brilliant.

"I'm enjoying life, I have been given a chance, and I'm going to make the most of it."

Very sad and not a little worrying

Can we please go back to when dead musicians were drugs, fast cars or 30 years older than me

Anyway today's outrage: Radio 2 decide to play a track in tribute. Do they play Fanfare for the Common Man, or Court of the Crimson King?

No they play his folly to make money "I believe in Father Christmas "

Peter Mansfield

He used to live next door to us. His wife was frightful.

Sir Peter Mansfield, Nobel Laureate; saver of countless lives; proud Beestonian is buried today.
Rather than write our own eulogy, our friend Alison has this wonderful tribute:
Sure he invented MRI and won lots of awards.
But the things I loved about him:
- he was a very humble and shy man and not some kind of academic demigod
- he loved a simple burger from Maccy D's
- he loved to drive his Ford Ka rather than use his Rolls
- he boogied to Abba at his 80th birthday
- he once ran out of petrol in his Rolls and wanted to syphon petrol from our clapped out Renault Campus (now wouldn't that have made a photo)
- he loved his family who supported him in all he did
- he was incredibly interested in other cultures and used to get his foreign PhD students to teach him their languages, songs and poems
- what he achieved, he achieved the hard way. No silver spoon for Sir Peter, he studied at night school
- he gave credit to his wife - who once asked him what use his work was to real people
- he hung up on the Nobel Committee as he thought it was a prank
- he didn't believe he had made a difference

- he once ran out of petrol in his Rolls and wanted to syphon petrol from our clapped out Renault Campus (now wouldn't that have made a photo)
- he loved his family who supported him in all he did
- he was incredibly interested in other cultures and used to get his foreign PhD students to teach him their languages, songs and poems
- what he achieved, he achieved the hard way. No silver spoon for Sir Peter, he studied at night school
- he gave credit to his wife - who once asked him what use his work was to real people
- he hung up on the Nobel Committee as he thought it was a prank
- he didn't believe he had made a difference

Friday 13th – Lucky for some!

Wow! Just wow!

Ms Raccoon has just returned from the hospital. Ten months ago they thought I had 'two months at best' - at that point you are formally designated 'terminally ill'; that in itself opens all sorts of doors, and not just that of the local funeral parlour, but in terms of drug trials.

Thus, since June I have bene taking a drug called Letrozole, which has had great success with some of the breast cancers, but was an unknown quantity in terms of the cancer I have. I have to say, it is like being run over by a bus - the side effects are legion, and occupy three pieces of A4 paper. I was more than ready to quit after the first three month scan, but was persuaded to hang on a bit longer on the grounds that it hadn't had long enough to take effect.

I did. Today I got the results.

Its only bloody worked! No new tumours, no growth on any of the existing tumours. It's not technically remission, since it is only designed to prevent further growth rather than actually cure me - but given that this is the third bout of this cancer, I'm pretty stunned.

Not only that, but I got home just in time to pick up a call from Cameron that I wrote about a few days ago. He was in court today to answer his charge of 'violent behaviour' following him giving the police a piece of his mind regarding 'false allegations' when they finally decided that he was not the 'alleged paedophile' in their cctv. He spent all day hanging around court, cheered and supported by one of the commentators here, who shall be nameless (and grateful thanks to him from Cameron and me). Three times the court room was changed as the day dragged on with no explanation, until finally they were called in - to be told that the police did not want to proceed with the prosecution!

So, much celebration in the Cameron ranks tonight.....we never give in!

Drinks are on me tonight - and see you all next week. Anna

Tried to post this earlier but my t'interweb was playing up. Can't believe he was a year younger then I am, figured he was only 30ish.

The BBC reporting is so over  the top .

I have had to turn off the news just now ...it is irritating every atom of my being.

Apart from Bruce what is really getting my goat is that it seems obligatory to include a Grenfell item however tenous. Tonight we have had a girl who has written a healing poem and the fact that some of the kids have sung a song in a play.

I appreciate the families have been through hell but do they need the media reporting on absolutely everything and anything !!

You are not alone in that Darwin

I've heard that those who met him privately found him a well mannered nice guy but put him in front of a TV camera and you got a unique talent and sadly a uniquely huge ego that made me want to put a fist through the TV.

Shame, he was one of Britain's greatest writers, overlooked a bit, I think, because he was often thought of as just a science fiction writer. However, he wrote many a good contemporary novel.

Just so you are all clear, like:

Peter Wyngarde's date and place of birth, his birth name, and his parent's nationalities and occupations are all disputed. According to his biography at IMDb,[1] which is not supported by any primary sources but often used in other accounts of his life,[2][3][4] he was born Peter Paul Wyngarde on 23 August 1933 to a French mother at an aunt's home in Marseille, France. In September 2017 Peter Wyngarde gave a detailed interview about his life to the website of his Appreciation Society, where he explained that his British father, a Mr Wyngarde, worked for the British Diplomatic Service in various countries across Asia.[5][3] He is also said to be the nephew of French actor-director Louis Jouvet.

Primary sources indicate a likely different birth name, year of birth and family background.

About Wyngarde's year of birth there is considerable variation. Different sources quote or suggest dates between 1924 and 1933.[note 1] In a 1993 interview Wyngarde claimed not to know his own age.[14]

Wyngarde gave his place of birth as Singapore on a 1960 immigration application,[11][15] although a 1956 Straits Times article about his mother does give Marseille as his birthplace.[13]

Evidence suggests that Wyngarde's original name was Cyril Goldbert and that he changed his name after arriving in the UK in the mid 1940s.[10] Author J. G. Ballard wrote in his memoir (and stated in interviews and private letters[16]) that he and his family knew Wyngarde as Cyril Goldbert in Shanghai during World War II,[6][17] but Wyngarde has denied knowing Ballard.[5]

Peter Wyngarde's mother was Marcheritta "Madge" Goldbert, née Ahin, later Macauley. The Ahins were a Eurasian family living in Singapore in the 1890s.[18] Records indicate that she was a Swiss national and that she re-married in 1947[19] and moved to Malaysia. An article in Singapore's Straits Times in 1956 included her photograph and an interview about her son's acting career.[13] Wyngarde claimed in a 1993 interview that his mother was a racing driver.[14]

On his arrival in the UK in 1945, Cyril Goldbert's next of kin and UK contact is named as Mr H. Goldbert.[20] This is highly likely to be Madge's former husband Henry Goldbert who was living in Liverpool at this time. Henry Goldbert was born in Russia[21] and likely Jewish.[22][original research?] He was British, having become a naturalised British subject in 1919 after living in Singapore since childhood.[21] Biographical statements issued by the official Peter Wyngarde Appreciation Society (PWAS) deny that Henry Goldbert was Wyngarde's father, and state that his father was a British diplomat named Wyngarde.[5] After a diplomatic career in Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore and India, Wyngarde Senior is said to have become an importer-exporter in London and to have lived in the very upscale address of Eaton Square.[23] There is no record of a Mr Wyngarde Senior in any publicly available vital records, nor in travel and immigration information nor in UK electoral rolls. Henry Goldbert did have some similar aspects to his life: he also travelled extensively in South East Asia, although not as a diplomat but as Second Chief Engineer in the British Merchant Navy, including on the SS Lyemoon in 1942.[24] Peter Wyngarde said in a 2017 interview that when he arrived in the UK in 1945 his father met his ship in Liverpool.[5] It seems likely that this was Henry Goldbert, who was his stated next of kin for the journey and who lived in Liverpool.

Just so you are all clear, like:

Peter Wyngarde's date and place of birth, his birth name, and his parent's nationalities and occupations are all disputed. According to his biography at IMDb,[1] which is not supported by any primary sources but often used in other accounts of his life,[2][3][4] he was born Peter Paul Wyngarde on 23 August 1933 to a French mother at an aunt's home in Marseille, France. In September 2017 Peter Wyngarde gave a detailed interview about his life to the website of his Appreciation Society, where he explained that his British father, a Mr Wyngarde, worked for the British Diplomatic Service in various countries across Asia.[5][3] He is also said to be the nephew of French actor-director Louis Jouvet.

Primary sources indicate a likely different birth name, year of birth and family background.

I took The Boy to see him once and subsequently got a kind signed message and a top of the range tickling stick. I reminded The Boy this morning that he could say he had seen a legend performing live. Having said that, I thought he was more interesting in some of the documentaries and interviews that he was on stage. I didn't find him that funny  redface:

Not departing in that sense but and many will go Shrugs: but for those who indulge in listening to the radio this is a real tragedy

Lynn Bowles gives up the travel (and wit) mornings role at Radio 2  eeek:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-43428561 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-43428561)

"After 18 long years of my alarm clock waking me at 4am, it's time to destroy it with some heavy machinery," the Cardiff-born broadcaster said.

"During my time at BBC Radio 2 I've done my best to make Ken Bruce acceptable to polite society. I'm not entirely sure I have been successful in my endeavours."

Nearly 75 years ago but tough to watch this story about 10 US Airmen and one alive but ailing 82 year old Brit still feeling guilty and not feel moved

"Just met an amazing man in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. Tony Foulds was an 8-yr-old playing in the park when a US plane crashed in Feb 1944. He has diligently maintained the memorial ever since. He was planting new flowers. Almost 75 yrs of service. What a man. I’m in bits . . .

Tony said he still feels guilty because if he hadn’t been in the park that day the plane could have landed safely. Instead the pilot avoided the children and crashed into the hill. "

Are the Typhoons fully operational yet...?  rubschin:

They can obviously fly out of Akrotiri (noisy bastards) with certain weapon loads but can they carry everything...?

Well once upon a time I knew and it was classified - not least because in the early operational days it very much couldn't carry and usefully release everything   Over the years they will have cleared all the important stuff and pared down the list of operational weapons but it is a difficult process to properly integrate and get flight clearance for stores on combat aircraft.  Amongst other things, the aerodynamic interactions are not simple to model and much testing is required.  It's not funny when a bomb that's just been released tries to climb upwards or hits other released weapons.

However you really wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of what a Typhoon can carry past most air defences

As for Tornado it really spanned my career.  It first flew just after I started my aerospace work and outlasted my time in the business.  Even though we've taken it out of service, the Germans, Italians and Saudis will be fliyng them for a few years yet - but then they've not used them like we have so their airframes are well less fatigued.

Nearly 75 years ago but tough to watch this story about 10 US Airmen and one alive but ailing 82 year old Brit still feeling guilty and not feel moved

"Just met an amazing man in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. Tony Foulds was an 8-yr-old playing in the park when a US plane crashed in Feb 1944. He has diligently maintained the memorial ever since. He was planting new flowers. Almost 75 yrs of service. What a man. I’m in bits . . .

Tony said he still feels guilty because if he hadn’t been in the park that day the plane could have landed safely. Instead the pilot avoided the children and crashed into the hill. "

Thanks JOM, this one has really got to us, helps to know others understand

We found her Saturday morning paralysed from the waist down, desperately trying to walk and screaming in pain - as distressing a sight as I've seen for a long time.  Thought at first she’d been hit by a car but X rays showed no damage.  She had shown signs of getting some slight recovery as they treated her with clot busters, she wasn’t incontinent and I started looking at cat wheel chairs and wondering whether that’d be fair on her but then the call came this morning.

Not really. Vet was having to guess it was an embolism and that would be consistent with her sudden death overnight.

Bizarre.

I had a guy in today laying a concrete base for my man shed. He left his guys working and went off to another job...

While he was there the client said, "you don't know Barman by any chance do you?" and he said, "I do, I'm working at his house right now!"  eeek:

So he called me and explained that after the Pajero owner died his wife sold it to the lady he was working for and she couldn't work the stereo - could I help her...?

I've been listening to Gene Kranz's NASA memoirs, the moon program didn't deserve to be screwed over the way it was. Yes it was dangerous and expensive and some of the missions were closer to disaster than people realise but if it had been allowed to continue then I very much doubt it would be taking so damn long to put boots on Mars.

Whenever we had death list competitions I was quick to pick him for my list.  What a fighter he was but more than that what an observational journalist, unequalled IMHO

Years ago I read his first autobiography and it's a brilliant read both bitterly poignant at times and hilariously funny at others

Roy Orbison for me.  Still at his peak, no element of self infliction and a very decent bloke by all accounts
 
Forward looking is a bit difficult with uncertainty on timing but I'd place Neil Young or Bob Dylan way ahead of Elton John and looking wider I'd be extremely upset if say Lewis Hamilton had an untimely end this coming GP weekend

A hard man to work for but you couldn't argue with the results of his leadership. GE's worth went from $12bn to $410bn (£321bn) while he was in charge. 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51710337

Certainly made his mark but not too sure about his business practices and his reputation quickly tarnished after he retired from GE

RIP anyway

Now big but liked that song ....(ear worm )....

Adam Schlesinger, from the US power pop band Fountains of Wayne, has died aged 52 in a New York hospital, his family lawyer has confirmed.

He had been receiving treatment for Covid-19, with the use of a ventilator.

The bass player co-wrote the band's 2003 hit, Stacy's Mom - an ode to unrequited teenage lust, which starred model Rachel Hunter in the video.

Sadly he was replaced as MP by Seb Coe and the less said there the better (although I will admit I may have not made a good impression with him by asking how running really fast makes him suited to be an MP for a constituency he was parachuted in to).  noooo:

If you read Coe's autobiography you would see a good reason why Mudd likely gave up that constituency.  Same reason Coe did, no home life.  Commons hours then were gruelling and transport less than suitable

I'd say that was the reason that Mudd did but Coe didn't give up his constituency, he lost it in the 1997 election.

If you read Coe's autobiography you would see a good reason why Mudd likely gave up that constituency.  Same reason Coe did, no home life.  Commons hours then were gruelling and transport less than suitable
 
As for the man himself, knew nothing of him but seems to have been a good egg.  RIP

I'd say that was the reason that Mudd did but Coe didn't give up his constituency, he lost it in the 1997 election.

doh:  my bad

Don't feel too bad about it, it's easier to remember for those of us who lived here as it was a time of great celebration and optimism  lol:

He's an impressive athlete and a driven individual but he was a godwful choice to parachute into the constituency. He didn't know the people, didn't know the area and there was a far better local candidate who was well liked and respected who had been shoved aside so that Coe could have the seat. In all honesty I suspect that if Labour or MK had been able to field a more credible candidate than they did then the Conservatives would have lost the constituency.

Vera Lynn 103  eeek:

Sad news, as a child of the fifties I grew up hating her because of the frequent extolling of how wonderful she was singing songs i found dreary.  But actually she was a fair singer and put in more than her fair share during the war going to far flung places
 
103 is a fair old innings but I bet she'd have preferred to reach 104 and more

Never came over well imho, whined a lot about James Earl Jones doing the Darth Vader voice and seemingly being the only person in the galaxy that couldn't work out why.  The Green Cross Code ads were shite as well

But being married for 57 years says a lot of good about the man and no one deserves to have their last years so blighted by illness as he did

Quote

Yeager had met Glennis before leaving the US for Europe. (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/chuck-yeager-obituary-qg3n8lxzl) He had been tasked with organising a dance for his fellow flyers in a gym in Oroville, California, and dumped the task in the lap of a “very pretty brunette” he came across sitting in a small office next door to the gym. His chat-up line proved decisive.

“You expect me to whip up a dance and find thirty girls in three hours?” said the exasperated 18-year old girl.

“No, you’ll only need to find 29 because I want to take you.”

The line worked and they were a staunch couple through thick and thin until her death from cancer in 1990.

Have to say she had time for everyone , used to bring in some treats for us and was so bubbly and kind. Yes she liked an audience, but it was genuine. Her husband also was incredibly supportive and just so proud of her.  cry:

I used his one man lift once at Williams former offices in Didcot, just so I could say I had. There you go, I said it

Sad loss, one seriously tough guy who got results for so long

My friend Rob Covid  68

The most decent guy I ever met in business.  Very capable, hard working, absolutely honest and great witty company even though he was customer and me supplier.  We kept in contact after we both retired and then this year the emails and cards stopped.  So today I finally contacted someone who also knew him and found out he went into hospital for investigations early this year, caught Covid there and died.

Just found out that one of the managers from when I first started has passed away. Gavin was the one who went out of his way to help me keep my marbles when mum died a couple of weeks after I first started there.

He was 2 years younger than me.

Must have been something you said

There still going to fly the T1's for the Red Arrows and the T2's out of Anglesey

The Hawk is a really well designed beautifully simple aircraft.  Staggering that it's over 40 years since I first saw the Red Arrows flying the Hawk.  It's not just a trainer as the 50,60, 100 and 200 variants have been sold round the world as light attack aircraft.

Frank Williams (https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jun/26/frank-williams-obituary)

90, not too shabby... RIP.

Quote

Frank Williams had not watched any of the first two series of Dad’s Army when he reported for duty to film the BBC sitcom’s third series in 1969. He was to appear in a single episode, the first to be broadcast in colour, playing the slightly camp but tetchy Reverend Timothy Farthing. “I’d worked with both the writers, Jimmy Perry and David Croft, who also produced the show, before, so I didn’t have to audition,” he said. “It was a nice job, but I thought it was only ever going to be a one-off engagement.”

He ended up appearing in 39 of the 80 television episodes, which at one time were watched by up to 18 million people a week, as well as the original

In days of old all such events and entertainment would stop completely until after the funeral and maybe longer.  Can't see that happening now though

From the Dj sites most UK brewery chains have cancelled all entertainment till after funeral ..

Undoubtedly a foul piece of work but did the CPS have to fit him up introducing surprise and false evidence on just about the last day of the original trials?   
 
We'll never know if he was guilty as charged.

Whilst doing my A-Levels, had a job in a petrol station in Battersea. She came in one night, filled her car up and then rummaged through the various "bits" we sold on the side. I only had 2 C180 blank video cassettte tapes left and moaned at me that she needed 3. I politely replied that this was a petrol station, not Curry's. She scowled at me and launched her Barclaycard at me in disgust. I was allowed to smoke inside at the time, so I finished my ciggie, asked her if I could help her in another way - perhaps check her tyre pressures, check her oil level or anything else. She scowled harder. Awful woman at the time, a lot better subsequently. After she left I had to wedge the door open to remove the smell of Socialism and associated slightly pissy pants.
