This is Hardcore is their best album IMO.

Well if you can remember the 90s, you weren't there as they said. About the 60s!

Didn't happen to have a penchant for balacalvas had they?

If we're going to be that broad we may as well include Tony Ogden from proto-Britpop band World of Twist who died in 2006.

The first Britpop era death? Tempus Fugit and all that.

That Pet Shop Boys video is compliled from a film they made in 1988 called 'It Couldn't Happen Here' which I couldn't make head nor tail of. Much better was Ackland in an episode of Tales of the Unexpected called 'The Stinker', with Denholm Elliott of which the moral of the story is not to judge people based on childhood neuroses.

William "Dixie" Dean who once scored 60 league goals in a season for Everton, died of a heart attack whilst attending the Merseyside Derby today in 1980 aged 73.

That 13 goals in 1 single World Cup campaign will never be broken no matter how much the tournament "expands". RIP.

Imagine a team in the 1963 Derby Dead Pool having John F. Kennedy, C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley in their team. 22nd November would have been a bonanza!

Betty Swallocksed!

April 9th (Easter Sunday)

"Villa....and still Ricky Villa, what a fantastic run - he's scored! Amazing goal by Ricky Villa." RIP

He also made an appearance in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' as an agent of the Brotherhood of the Action Scene Film Extending Plot Device or something like that.

Dickie Davies' (D)eyes.

Jimmy Jimmy, oh.

Let the countdown begin....

You must admit it has a great cover!

All we need is him to front up a press conference and we've got our chief suspect.

He looks like Lou Reed in a decrompression chamber.

Blimey, then they really aren't poor!

Anyone for a sweepstake as to when Drol comes back to tell us he's been discharged? I'll say tomorrow.

If anyone should point the finger at deadpoolers' mockery when she carks it just say "I'm sorry but this absolutely nothing to do with us!"

That's terrible news. I thought it was a bit sus when Television had cancelled their tour dates with Billy Idol in October due to "illness". Now I'll never get to see them! Great guitarist, great songwriter. Marquee Moon is one of the great albums. RIP.
