    He was 52 in 1968 and that I suspect would have looked very old to you at the time

    Anyone here inspired by him to get into a bit of old Transcendental Meditation?

    That sh!t fascinates me to be honest. We can all find our own Gods!

    Jesus thats a bit of a shock. Thought he was great as Heywood Floyd in 2010, as well as his more readily recognizable role's above, Blue thunder was one of my favorite films as a nipper

    I loved JAWS. Must have watched it 20+ times many years ago. A classic. "Smile you son of a bit*h!"

    Sad to hear that. Incidently I prefered the "We're gonna need a bigger boat" line.

    Not a Jaws fan but I thought he was great in the French Connection, pity he was playing second fiddle to Popeye in that one.

    Paul Goldin, hypnotist. I suppose spending your life saying "go to sleep...." must eventually come back to haunt you.

    Lost in the Heath Ledger media Frenzy;

    Newcastle Curry Mentallist and Viz Comic icon Abdul Latif, Lord Of Harpole passed away at the end of January.

    A gifted self-promoter, the Bangladeshi headbanger frequently appeared in the pages of Viz magazine, hawking his "curry Hell" dish from his Restaurant, The Rupali, allegedly the Hottest curry known to man. (Or Geordie men anyway) in exchange for free nosh for the Viz editors.

    He will also be remembered for achieving the world record for longest distance fast food delivery (Newcastle to Sydney) and for publicly offering free curries for life to ex Toon Manager Graeme Souness, his favourite player Shay Given, and Geordie entertainer Jimmy Nail, on condition that he signed a sworn statement that he would not make anymore episodes of Toon based "crime" "drama" 'Crocodile Shoes'.

    Genius.
    On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"

    And they nearly did.

    He leaves an estate of £650 million. Not bad for the owner of a strip joint and some porno mags.

    Gary Gygax, best known for co-creating the pioneering role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D).

    I spent a lot of my teenage years and twenties playing that game with a group of similar nerds.

    Derek Dooley, Sheffield Wednesday legend. He's the reason I follow the Owls. It was in the paper about him losing his leg and my oldest brother started to follow them. He then passed on that heavy burden to me.
