    That backs up the rumours I'd heard. So, Stage IV cancer. Ouch. The metastasis could be minor, and it sounds like it's been spotted fairly quickly, but once cancer starts spreading... At least it hasn't spread to his pancreas. Yet.

     

    When he dies, and it sounds pretty grim all round to be honest, France is going to go into meltdown, isn't It? *makes mental note not to go on a day trip in that week* Will probably be the biggest death since De Gaulle (yes, even bigger than Mitterrand and Claude Francois).

    Claude, I think, will always be the big one.

    I don't recall this at the time, & have searched for it on here |& on the DDP site...Hot Gossip singer/dancer Trudy Beth Watson topped herself last September.

    Some smart Alec will go & find this now...

     

    Guess she never got over losing her heart to a starship trooper...

    In happier times. Not sure which one she is but they're dancing with torches. Torches.

    Musician Nile Rodgers, better known for his production work, is suffering from "an aggressive form" of cancer.

    Better known for his production work?! The guy was the guitarist/writer for one of the greatest bands of all time, Devon. Especially for DTTG -

    .

     

    The other main two members also died young.

    Great stuff Harry. 'Thinking of you', would always feature in the ttG top ten tunes.

     

    Whilst on the subject of great record producers, we've put Richard Anthony Hewson,

    on our DDP team. This was based on a rumour of a tumour, which unfortunately I think I started.

    Brilliant, Madame; but this one is pretty damn good too!!

     

     

    Great stuff. I remember putting one of the dancers from this video into 'Room lovely'. He is wearing a pink top on 49 seconds. In case you miss him, I appear on 1:37 (wearing a yellow top) to point him out for you.

     

    This is interesting in that no one appears to suffer any side effects from all that man made fibre and friction. (Except him on 45 seconds, who appears to be experiencing some chafing).

    Whiskey, I love you. You are a friend to me. Sometimes I think we lose ourselves in the madness that is reality. We then stand back from it all and pause for a moment. If only we could all remain a certain way forever. In my mind, that's what I dream of. Bringing all of you back to a place that you've forgotten. We all tend to forget. I think that's what heaven is. A place we forget about.

    I can't agree. It has been proven to my satisfaction that heaven, and indeed hell, are in fact a shepherd's pie.

    I'm devoid of any discernible talent, but I reckon I could've pulled off Dick Van Dyke's dad.

     

    I think the correct response to this is something along the lines of "Blimey, the old gaffer only used to give us half an orange".

    Yes, sorry about that. In my defence, I had again, spent much of yesterday mincing through Pimlico.

     

    I think Stan Bowles is credited with the 'orange' quote, or perhaps it was someone else.

    Actually, he was younger than Dick Van Dyke, who played his son in Chitty Chitty Band Bang. He was only 41-42 for that role, which I suppose is some indication of his talent that he could successfully pull it off. Enjoy him again

    Yes - my posting has taken a hit of late, not that I don't have much to moan about.

     

    I was thrown out of the BB band (of which I was an officer) after 12 years of service because I fell out with the bandmaster's family (yes, I've been sacked from a voluntary post).

    I spend most of my days doing tedious readings for university.

    I'm still single.

    I've started playing that bloody farmville and got addicted.

    And I'm on the verge of being sacked from my work (I went in today but the managers were all away in Ellon deciding our fate).

     

    Looking forward to 2011 already.

    It's worse than you think Windsor. This could well be as good as it gets. In fact it sounds pretty good to me.

     

    Always look on the bright side of life...and all that...

    :lol: I'd never presume to suggest you do such a thing.

    In my experience people who always try to look on the bright side of life are awful company. I was just pointing out that looking back or forward can detract from the present. The French philosopher

    uses food as an analogy to make this point far better than I can. (Or is that a metaphor?)

    *cough*

     

    Good evening.

    Good evening Bellender. You're getting about. I never saw you as a beer man.

     

    This beer based 'joke' got me barred from my local specialist 'club'.

     

    Chap goes into a bar, ''Cinq bières, s.v.p.''

    Barman: ''de pression?''

    Chap: ''non, alcoolisme''.

    Hi All,

     

    First time on here, what a weird and wonderful site - well done you lot !!

     

    The reason I'm on is as follows:-

     

    I've been mooching about on facebook at friends photo's and noticed a friend had recently taken a photo of himself with Alex Higgins (Deathlist 2002).

    He looks sooo bad, I struggled to recognise the poor fella.

    If I could post the photo on here I would, but jeeez how awful, he looks like he's on death door for sure. Skin and Bone literally.

    Good call, Mass. Debating has been vigorous on the subject of Alex Higgins.

    Stunned to see the prices some of his CDs are commanding at present. You can track progress on Amazon where you'll find some 2008 releases of original albums like Remember Me This Way going expensive and still showing a sales ranking that is prone to shooting up once in a while, indicating some mug out there is still willing to line GG's pockets.

     

    Link

     

     

    So...

     

    Why were you on Amazon checking out his album sales?

     

    Well, someone had to ask... :)

    Good question. It may just be the influence of this site. I have recently found myself looking up transvestite butlers and bum gravy. Of course, MPFC could just be a massive fan of GG. A bit before my time but I always enjoyed a bit of GG. Obviously I hate him lots and lots now.
