    Just saw a tv report that Ray Bradbury has just died. Either 91 or 92 years old.

    Teofilo Stevenson - triple Olympic heavy weight gold medal winner. From Cuba and could have been the "new Cassius Clay" but for various political reasons remained an amateur.

    He's gone and there ain't nothing we can do about it (think he was played by Ray Liotta).

    Rodney King of LA Riot fame died in a pool in Rialto. http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0617/pol...ound-dead.html

    I never knew it was he who said "Can't we all just get along" which a generation of black comedians have taken the pee out of. I heard a biography of the man on bbc 4 and he really is a tragic figure who just couldn't get a grip on life. Only 47 too.

    Comedian and actor Eric Sykes has died at the age of 89, his manager has said.

    Sykes was best-known for writing and performing in a series of TV sitcoms from the 1950s, including Sykes And A... alongside co-star Hattie Jacques.

    Sad to see Eric go. So much in the limelight for years and then disappears.

    Actor Andy Griffith, perhaps best known for his part in Matlock:

    Loved that comedy - no more fitting tribute to the man, Stann!

    Hopefully some channel will show that, Rhubarb and The Plank.
