This makes me a lot sadder than it really should.

Prof Sid Watkins, at 84 retired some time now but still sad news for any F1 fan. Saved many lives with his reforms, and several directly, including Rubens Barrichello and almost Ayrton Senna if he'd only have listened.
Brian Og Maguire, a Fermanagh GAA player died as a result of an accident at Quinn Cement yesterday.

Very sad news just coming out tonight about the passing of Ulster Rugby's young centre Nevin Spence, his brother and father in a slurry accident in Down. He was a real talent and was going to be a future star of Irish Rugby.
R.I.P.

It was always my greatest fear when I was on relatives farms and you always hear the horror stories about it. Shocking.
Horrendous way to die and God help his mother. I hope his sister recovers.So lucky my own family is fit and healthy. Puts my ongoing debate with Charlie Darwin and Ole into perspective.Quote:

He beat Vlad and lost to Vitali Klitschko, I might have that the wrong way, but I think it's right.
Andy Williams ("Moon River") died today. Also JOhn Bond, former West Ham player and Man City boss.
I remember Andy more for BORN FREE which was the movie theme to some tear jerker film about Elsa the lion roaming freeQuote:

John Bond I remember as a successful manager of Norwich and a not so successful spell at Manchester City but he did get them to a Cup Final against Spurs. I assume he fell off the planet after that but not sure. His son (Kevin) is still involved on the backroom staff with some team but can't remember which.

Herbert Lom joined Peter Sellars to create mayhem up in heaven. He was 95, born in Prague and was more a serious actor than I thought. He was great in The Ladykillers (the good version).
95? Feck. RIP.
Wonderful actor.
USA Ryder Cup ambitions.
I will now gladly eat my hat and words.Quote:

Sylvia Kristel, star of Emmanuelle series of erotic films, dies at 60 after long battle with cancer.
I was told about Kristel's death just now and it was so odd. I only saw her in a couple of real crappy movies (Concorde - I think that was a Sunday afternoon staple, and one about a women's prison in East Germany - though not what you'd think). My Mam and sister had coffee with her in Malta years and years ago, said she was absolutely lovely.

No, there's a few others. Mondale in 1984 is anotherQuote:

Great man.

I've used his "They don't like it up 'em" so many times in relation to namby pamby teams/opponents, always thought of him when I said it. I know make up etc can work wonders, but I thought he was well into his 70's back in the 70's.
Bill Tarmey, aka Jack Duckworth from Coronation Street passed away aged 71 in Tenerife this morning. Seemed to be a loveable type of guy and came across really well in every interview on TV.
RIP

Larry Hagman, or JR Ewing to the world, died overnight aged 81. One of the real cultural icons of the 1980's and a character to boot. So important they are leading the 10am news in Moscow with it.
If you ever get a chance to look at the bios of most of the characters in Dad's Army they nearly all actually saw service in WW2. In fact Clive Dunne spent most of the war as a POW of the Germans.Quote:
