Oh no! He was great...such a shame... The Curse of Hitch-Hikers? Very sad news this. Only saw him a few weeks ago on tv in the till death us do part comedy connections programme He always seemed to have a certain madness about him (in a nice way) Was shocked to learn that he married Prunella Gee in the 70's She was a very good looking actress and certainly looks wasn't one of Mr Campbell's strong points Gives hope to us all, doesn't it...

Woohoo! Don't take it personally, Tommy, but it's about bloomin' time I got some more points! A Bolt from the blue then........... ...I'll get me coat!

British comedy needs a kick up the arse. It needs a 'Beyond the Fringe' style revolution IMO...

Speaking of young deaths, Austrailian actor Mark Priestley committed suicide at the age of 32. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,2...71-2902,00.html Dead at 32? *shudder*...

Quite a surprise that only one person picked him...

BLOODY HELL! Radio Active/KYTV, producer of the radio series of Hich-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy. I'm shocked... Here as a tribute, is one of his finest moments.... RIP Geoffrey

That was rather sudden...I thought he'd be alright for a bit. The only American-born driver to win the Formula 1 Motor Racing Championship... RIP

Happy Birthday CO! (Blimey! Doesn't he look like Paddy Considine?)

Maybe it is a Jane Goody of Bermondsey that has Cervical Cancer and there's been a mix up with the other woman being told she has learning difficulties...

I didn't think we had one anymore. It's just 'The Dead', near misses or not...

You couldn't accuse old Fidel of not being patriotic. Mind you, he may have a point. Kenny Egan looked to have been robbed... Also, it's rather hiding Cuba's relatively poor performance in the Olympics. No Golds in the boxing, that's unheard of...

Poor bastard probably didn't have time to do anything. Note the phrase 'original': The book business is the most parasitic medium going. Anything even remotely popular with readers and there's soon a billion versions filling up Waterstones. Rant over..

Now will the forum get a similar 'tarting up' or is that a seperate issue?

HCW reaches the big five oh.... Also..... Contratulations Phantom and Happy Birthday Josco....

From what I've just been reading, it could be a photo finish between Heston and Paul Newman...

Deathlist 2.0.....

Good call Sir! I know my Athletics stuff. I predicted at work that LaShawn Merritt would win the 400m and er, that Usain Bolt would win in 19.56s....

No John Akii-Bua, see....

Ex Wakefield Trinity and international Rugby League player Don Fox dies aged 73 He was man of the match at Wembley in 1968 cup final but unfortunately missed a conversion in front of the posts in last minute that would have won the cup for his side Game should never have been played as ground was waterlogged but with 80,000 plus crowd and live tv present there was no way the match would be postponed "Oh the poor lad!"

I don't begrudge anyone their medals. Well done to all I say. This nationalistic total medal haul thing has always struck me as being stupid anyway. Who cares if some nation picked up ten golds for tiddlywinks, synchronised swimming and shotgunning clay UFOs? Those don't hold a candle to a gold in the 100m, 200m, 110m hurdles, etc. as far as I'm concerned. I applaud the athletes (note: this does not necessarily include tiddlywinkers or equivalent), swimmers, etc that have achieved the best they can do, regardless of medal status. I believe for something to be considered a valid Olympic event it has to be specifically measurable, that is; first past the post, thrown further, jumping higher, etc. Anything subjective (that gets a difficulty rating or artistic merit for example) should be booted. You guys have a chance of Gold in the Mens' Pole Vault...watch out for Steve Hooker!
