Terrible news. RIP.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Anyone who remembers the show That 70's Show, or knew the show well enough. Lisa Robin Kelly, played Eric Formans sister Laurie.
Died today aged 43.

Always loved the original 3:10 to Yuma - never knew it was one of his short stories.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Get Shorty is a fantastic flick. As is Out of Sight which he also wrote.
You could always tell his writing from a mile off.

Did he use really big letters?

Those born in the stone age might remember Mike Winters (right) of Mike and Bernie Winters fame (the poor man's Morcombe & Wise). When Eric Morcombe was once asked when they would have done if they flopped in show business, he replied "we'd have been Mike and Bernie Winters".

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I never heard of Mike, but I saw Bernie in Panto years ago (he was quite funny). It was a lifetime ago and his co-star was Juicy Lucy Melissa Bell from neighbours. I know a lad I worked with was nuts about her and tried to claim he met her, I pulled him up on it one evening over beers and reminded him that when he was a pasty faced intern I told him the story of how I met her - in front of colleagues - and he was ashamed.
She was born the same day as me but a year before. Wasn't what I'd imagined she'd be.
What happened to the ostrich?
Bernie had the ostrich I think
I don't remember Bernie with an ostrich. I do rememer Schnorbitz, his St Bernard, though.

For anyone who likes poetry i strongly recommend this beautiful piece of work. Got it recently and I love it.
RIP Seamus Heaney. An Irish literary genius whose legacy and memory will outlive us all.

I had the privilege of seeing him twice in recent years, reading in the NCH and in St Anne's on Dawson St, being interviewed for RTE radio. In the NCH -fully sold out, maybe 1,200 seats - he didn't realise until halfway through that there were people in the choirloft behind the stage who could only see his back. He was genuinely humbled and taken aback that people would put up with that just to hear him. So he turned the mike twice during the remainder of the reading and read two or three poems specially for them.
An extraordinary man, with a mesmerising delivery. I'll read some of his poems tonight before turning in, a small tribute, but fitting.

Sir David Frost dies of a heart attack at the age of 74.
No way. Was only reading an interview of his last week.
Meanwhile, on a slight tangent, Nelson Mandela has actually been discharged from hospital, which I hadn't expected to see at all.
