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

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

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.
Rialto... jesus, I was thinking that the regeneration of Fatima Mansions had gone really well... pools and all...

Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

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:

Oh no. Loved Eric Sykes.
Can't believe no one posted about Andy Griffith yesterday...

Loved that comedy - no more fitting tribute to the man, Stann!
Hopefully some channel will show that, Rhubarb and The Plank.

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