Syd Barrett died five years ago today aged 60...

What? Do you mean no longer posting or do you mean that more permanent departure that happens to be the subject that ties this place together? I suspect the former, having become bored out of his brain by the daily drivel. He's not the only one. Will Rolf Harris get a mention here when he goes? What is Rolf Harris? Getting bored? Bring on the clowns...

I'm fairly sure she's a miss... EDIT: I checked, she isn't.

She probably doesn't know who Reagan was anymore...

Jim Morrison of The Doors, died 40 years ago today...

The designer of the Desert Boot, Nathan Clark has put his foot in it for the last time, aged 94...

So does that mean his death doesn't meet Unnatural Causes criteria after all. Does the DDP take 3 points off Canny Faker's score? If it can be definitely proven that he carked it before his car crashed, then I suppose it would, yes...

Somehow I don't think our beloved Chancellor Gideon Osborne will use the US as an example of how not to run an economy like he does with Greece. "We don't want to end up like America, do we?" "Yes we do, George, we all do..."

I'd top meself if I was involved in tripe like The Tudors...

Fancy a choc ice?

Well if that's his line of business, then he was asking for trouble...

I doubt that such a revelation will affect his career much. Happens a lot these days in the modern media.

Have you seen Coldplay?

Oh right...you're one of those are you? Oh dear. Stunned by this, notaguest has always come across as a pretty sensible type otherwise. I have a particular dislike for conspiracy theorists. I'm sceptical of conspiracy theories too but considering the mounting sly bastardness of Cameron, I wouldn't put it pass him...

UK obit. That'll be a unique pick on the DDP for A Pelican In The Wilderness. Blimey, they pile up don't they?

Right. I'll hold back on the update until tomorrow. By then we should also get the Colan obit. BTW Peter Falk was a superb actor and Columbo, one of the great TV 'tecs. RIP...
