Alf Bentley Posted 15 May 2015 Posted 15 May 2015 Yes just seen it. One of my favourite blurs singers. Next only to Damon Albarn, I imagine.... (More smart-arsing about!)
purpleronnie Posted 15 May 2015 Posted 15 May 2015 BB King gone, another one of my musical heroes. His music lives on. A true legend.

Alf Bentley Posted 28 May 2015 Posted 28 May 2015 maybe knot Not Knott ?!? Best wicket-keeper/batsman Kent and England ever had! Thankfully, Knott is still padded up, still not out. Twiggy dead Wrong. The sap is still flowing through Twiggy's veins. She hasn't boughed out, indeed she is branching out and turning over a new leaf. Twinkle, on the other hand, has been snuffed out..... a star in her descendancy, descending six feet. This isn't bad, and the bit asking Terry to wait for her at heaven's gate was quite prescient: Just a little bit of a Shangri-las rip-off, though....just checked, this came out in 1965, and "Leader of the pack" in 1964....plagiarism alert!
Alf Bentley Posted 29 May 2015 Posted 29 May 2015 Sad thing is I remember it. Nothing sad about that, Ken. For all of us, the alternative to ageing is ending up in this thread! See you in the Kings some time.
Rincewind Posted 29 May 2015 Posted 29 May 2015 Was in Nottingham today. One place they were playing some old stuff.Simon Garfunkel,(one from an early John Voight film end credits) Turn Turn Turn Percy Faith and other similar hippy type stuff I became all reminisive.

Simon Garfunkel? Was he Art Garfunkel's less talented younger brother? I know it's late in the night, but there's no need for this maudlin mood, Ken, particularly not after escaping from Nottingham. Here's Ted Chippington to cheer you up:

johnny the fox Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 Charles Kennedy, aged 55. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-32970337 Shame.. but his pain has now ended. RIP Charlie..
Mike Oxlong Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 55 is no age to die these days. Such a shame. This is what people who aren't that far off 55 say. Shame. Seemed like a principled chap.
Strokes Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 55 is no age to die these days. Such a shame.It is a shame, I know he had his problems but he was always genuine. Which isn't as common as it should be in politics.RIP Charles.
ousefox Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 A bumped into him when I was looking round parliament last summer. Can't believe he was only 55. A genuinely likeable politician.
cambridgefox Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 55 is no age to die these days. Such a shame.too right,such a shame.
Alf Bentley Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 Very sad indeed. A witty, articulate man who came across as friendly, principled and caring. At the risk of seeming cheap, I did fear for him after seeing his last Question Time performance and then losing his seat. He'd split with his wife a few years back, too. Far too close to home this one - age-wise and history of excessive boozing. My heart isn't in it, but have to try to maintain this thread's traditions, so..... "One day you're occupying the centre ground, next day you're occupying the cold hard ground".
Guest MattP Posted 2 June 2015 Posted 2 June 2015 A great shame and a great loss. As others have said, principled and decent man, something that is becoming a rarer sight in British politics.
Guest Posted 6 June 2015 Posted 6 June 2015 A great shame and a great loss. As others have said, principled and decent man, something that is becoming a rarer sight in British politics. Sad, but that's acoholism for you.
