  1. hmmmm weird, I only just got the email alert with the story this morning.

    Last time I bother with that news alert function

     

    Which news alert do you use phantom? We all need to stay clear of that one!

  2. Jim McKay, a prominent sports announcer, has died at the age of 86.

    He's best known for hosting the popular ABC show "Wide World of Sports" and covering many Olympic events.

     

    McKay is definitely one of the biggest names in sports broadcasting (probably not well known in Britian, but definitely a big timer in the US).

     

    This make SEVEN in a row. Seven celebrities I've heard of have passed away in the span of two weeks (I seriously think that's a personal record of mine.)

     

    Very popular here in USA. I thought I could be the first to post something on his death. Thanks BC.


  3. I saw Larry King on TV the other night and he isn't looking well at all. The face is almost lifeless, no sparkle in the eyes, voice cracking, and he was out of breath from just talking.


  4. What is the most shocking death of any famous person during your lifetime? I know we are probably dealing with members from teenagers to "old" people, like me.

     

    Two come to mind for me - JFK in '63, though I was only 7 years old, and Lady Di, with a nod to JFK, Jr.
