Announced last week his bladder cancer treatment. RIP

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Truly gutted about this news. A truly tremendous statesman and politician. He will be sorely missed
.

 

[Tony Towner]

A proper statesman. Someone you could really respect irrespective of politics. RIP Paddy

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I am really saddened by this news. British politics is profoundly weakened by his passing and at probably the worst time for it. We will miss you Paddy.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He was an excellent writer too.

This is a great book if you're into that period.

Great actress. Stood the test of time. Career spanned over 70 years! RIP

I had the pleasure of her company a couple of times. A wonderful woman. Really sad about her passing.

Always loved his interviews with Hogan.

Mean Gene Okerlund from WWF

Yeah put in the wwe/ wwf thread as that seems to the wrestling death noticed.

Mean Gene was great every iconic promo of the Hogan era had mean Gene and he could draw personality out of the most boring character and help over exagerate those top stars simply with a look a true legend

I heard an article about Phil Lynotts mom on the radio once, an unmarried mother having a mixed race baby in Birmingham in the late 1940's ! Even the staff wouldn't talk to her. She was treated like dirt.
