Dennis Flemion drummer of the controversial 80's American band the Frogs died aged 57. Drowned apparently.

Anyone who hasn't heard this band, and likes really really strange music. Check them out.

The poor man is dead 12th man, it's not appropriate to ribbit in with your weak puns.

**nigel-harps1954** · 10/07/2012, 7:20 PM

Thats toadally out of line. No need to go hopping in with bad puns like that.

+1. I was (and remain) a huge fan of 'the Purps' for a time in my otherwise punk based teens. A great, great talent. Well done John.

Richard Zanuck, the Oscar-winning film producer who was behind movies from The Sound of Music to Jaws and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has died aged 77.

Jaws, probably my favourite movie of all time although now that I have watched it so often I am bored with it. Sat with my father in law once to watch it and he hadn't seen it before. Funny watching him jump out of his seat on a few occasions.
I am going to try an even scarier one next time and see does that work

Alastair Burnett, journalist and ITV News at Ten newsreader, died at 84 today. Well remembered by many of us of a certain vintage I'm sure, though many on here were probably not even born when he hung up his mic for the last time.
