Exactly my thoughts Phil. It is interesting to some but definitely not here.

Margaret Lake, AKA Mystic Meg, has passed away, aged 80

 

[Tony Towner]

I'm not going to be the one to say she saw it coming

 

[Tom Hark]

I'm not going to be the one to say she saw it coming

I was going to be the one to say I bet she didn't.

 

[Keef]

Topol, best known for fiddler on the roof aged 87

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

An awesome Dr Hans Zarkov in Flash Gordon too

 

[Keef]

Traute Lafrenz 103, last one of the white rose anti nazi movement that urged Germans to rise up against the regime in the 1940s.
Another step closer to the Second World War passing out of living history.

 

[Keef]

Another one you’d either forgotten about or thought had died years ago.
RIP Bill Tidy MBE legendary cartoonist aged 89

Dick Fosbury, inventor of the flop, 76.

I remember seeing it on the TV in the 68 Olympics high jump and it blew my mind at the time when the contemporary techniques used were the straddle or western role.

 

[Tony Towner]

I don't think anyone has changed Athletics more. There's been bigger, faster, stronger but not just reinvent the discipline like he did

 

[Kenny]

Jacqueline Gold, founder of Ann Summers and Daughter of David Gold has lost her long battle with breast cancer aged 62

 

[Tony Towner]

Lance Reddick...Daniels from The Wire

 

[Tredman]

Ah, wtf - didn’t think he was that old. He’s been in some really good stuff

 

[Johnny75]

Ah that's rubbish, loved him in the Wire, Bosch and John Wick.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Sad, he was great in The Wire. Stalwart of many great shows.

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

No age, loved him in The Wire. Really sad about this

 

[Keef]

Emil Bocek, aged 100, last Czech RAF pilot* to have fought in the Second World War.

* some sources say actually the last Czech to have fought in the war.

So it’s another step closer to history, or has actually passed out of living memory in what was Czechoslovakia

 

[Derby Wolf]

Paul O' Grady, 67.

Died peacefully, and unexpectedly according to his partner.

 

[Lupo]

Very sad, he was a lovely bloke who cared for others and animals. RIP Paul
