Apparently a very witty and funny person that all sides of the House liked as Speaker.

Yeah, doing quite a few festivals and releasing new material too.

Shit..I am getting bloody fed up, of these guys n gals dropping like flys..

of all these people who accompanied me through my life…direct indirect,really on the boundaries..

But one could write one’s own life through many, including famously unknowns..

Radio,then, TV,Theater,stadia, brought ( and fetched) these people into the commoners world. Whether mountaineer,adventurace.real celebrity,sports people

good politicians,famously bad politicians..

But whatever one has to make one’s own life & path,  it’s just when old acquaintances,from your own life’s circle fade & die..

It can be upsetting when you hear of some personality/celebrity death and I too feel this.

I think the reason for this is it brings your own mortality into focus.

I know I'll often think,  s4it, he was my age.
