One of my early fantasies when she was in the Avengers - RIP

Same for my husband too. Spooky but one of mine was Alan Minter who has also died today, used to think he was bloody gorgeous

 

[PPB]

Also just seen Ronald Bell has died from Kool And The Gang. Great memories from that concert, way way way back in the 80's.

RIP Toots Hibbert from Toots and the Maytals. He passed away from Covid-19 on Friday evening

I caught them live a couple of years back and he was amazing, so much energy, literally blew me away. They toured again a few years later and timing was bad but felt that I really should have caught them. Gutted, such a great singer and performer

 

[leedswolf]

Noooo. They've just released a new album too.

 

[Tom Hark]

I was really hoping he'd pull through. RIP Toots.

 

[lemonjelly]

Shame! I never got to see them myself. Missed out over the recent few years owing to other commitments and cashflow.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

I'm the opposite, saw them many times at various festivals and open air gigs where they were supporting act.
Great live act, loads of energy. RIP

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, US Supreme Court judge.

That's going to kick off a huge, ugly battle.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, US Supreme Court judge.

That's going to kick off a huge, ugly battle.

The Dems will go for a Government shutdown to delay everything, I reckon.

One of the great Bond villains, cracking film.

French actor Michael Lonsdale, Hugo Drax in A Spy Who Loved Me, 89

He was the villain in Moonraker - Curt Jurgens was the villain in The Spy Who Loved Me.

Lovely character actor - was terrific as the French chief inspector in The Day Of The Jackal.

 

[BillyDee]

Moonraker ofc...
"Look after Mr Bond, see that some harm comes to him" is one of many great lines.
Auric Goldfinger had unquestionably the best bad guy line, but Drax had plenty of gooduns.

 

[Lupo]

Yep, I was half asleep when I posted last night. I was even thinking of him being blasted into space at the time

 

[Sniffer]

Dean Jones (59).

A superb cricketer.

 

[leedswolf]

Wow. He was one of (very few) my favourite Aussie cricketers.

He played club cricket in the leeds League for Nostell, breaking league records on the way. Imagine in 1988 Nostell bagging the world's top ODI batsman.

A top bloke.
