Knew he had Alzheimers obviously, but wasn't expecting this.

Gosh that's sad news. What a day... I feel my youth evaporating!
Very poignant last tweets on his Twitter page.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Really enjoyed his books, Small Gods and Good Omens were particular highlights. His documentary on assisted dying was one of the most powerful pieces of TV I have ever seen.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
George Byrne passed on today. Always liked his movie reviews with fellow LOI fan Tom Dunne. Another LOI media man gone.
Shocked and saddned to hear this. http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/scre...yrne-has-died/

I meant to post this at the time, but was lazy. This is the Holmes and Watson statue outside the British Embassy in Moscow. I pass it every morning on the way to work. Then one morning saw this, took and photo and walked on. A couple of bookshops in Moscow held special readings in his honour.
James Best who played Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane in the Dukes of Hazard. Tough early childhood with his mum dying at an early age and he was put up for adoption by his dad who struggled to support the family.

RIP Devilfish.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

Used to really enjoy his commentary. Something impish about him always.
Richie Benaud seems to have been universally accepted as a nice man. Not a bad legacy.
East Terracer posted this elsewhere, but Ray Treacy passed on yesterday. Sad to lose a real stalwart of Irish football. Saw him play many times and had a number of dealings with him, always a gent. One very funny incident years ago when I was dealing with him in relation to Malta. He had a heap of hilarious stories about the place. Only 68 too.
Rough week for Rovers.
