malcolm fairly.

You won’t know the name but as the fox he had my dad sleeping with a baseball bat in case he broke into the house and he raped women in the villagers around us over a period of weeks in 1984.

Hope he burns in the abysmal fires

I didn't recognise the name but know of him from the description, watched a documentary about him just a couple of months back. A truly strange and evil character. Good riddance

The sickest of sick bastards.

I was a young apprentice sharing with my sister in Leighton Buzzard where he committed several of his crimes. We, like most people, slept with chairs wedged up against door handles for weeks. It was a long hot summer but such a frightening time.

It was said he lived in LB, but we were surprised to learn when arrested he was actually just up the road in the village of Wing. He headed into LB to commit offences but used his knowledge of the smaller villages around the Wing area to carry out horrendous crimes there too. Everyone in the surrounding areas was terrified.

One of my bosses was the father of the 17 year old girl and her brother who lived in Edlesborough who were both horrifically assaulted along with her boyfriend. I’ve no idea how anyone ever recovers from such things, but seeing her father trying to deal with the trauma was enough. That poor guy had previously worked at Grendon Underwood prison with some of the most depraved deviants and his daughter (and son) became victims of one. What his view of mankind must have been Lord only knows.

I’m not a believer in afterlife but if there is, Fairley is off to a place in eternal hell.

Eaton Bray rather than Wing I thought. Only a couple of miles in it anyway.

I can remember police helicopters all over the place after he committed one offence about a mile from my parents house in Pitstone.

Rob Burrow, 41, after a very sad struggle with MND.

 

[Tredman]

Awful news.

 

[ROVERT47]

Followed his career being a Super League fan, he was one of the greatest, so fast, only tiny but no one could ever get near him.

Rest in glory, Rob. A true hero and giant of a person.

Jeanette Charles 96, actress sort of, she was the queen lookalike ( that’s queen Elizabeth, not the overrated band that did bohemian rhapsody) and weirdly died the same age as the actual queen did

Nicholas Ball, actor aged 78 years. Known for his marriage to Pamela Stephenson and also playing the title role as Hazell in the late 70s TV series, and I am led to believe appeared in Eastenders too.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I didn't know she was married before Billy Connolly came along. Every day is a school day.

Bill Anders 90, Apollo 8 astronaut, died when a plane he was piloting crashed into the sea.
He’s the man who took one of the most iconic photographs ever, called earth rise.

Michael Moseley, TV doctor - died after taking a wrong turn on a hike on the Greek island of Symi and collapsing.

 

[Keef]

It’s Michael not max moseley who’s died

 

[Aikiwolf]

It’s Michael not max moseley who’s died

Not sure how I typed "Max". Maybe it'll teach me to proof read my posts...

 

[ROVERT47]

So near to relative safety when you see where he was found, always found his programmes an interesting watch.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Moseley had that rare talent of being really enthusiastic but not irritating like so many people like that can be. I shall miss his output a lot. RIP.

One of France's best-loved singer-songwriters, Françoise Hardy, has died at the age of 80.

Quel dommage.
