That's very sad. I salute Neu! One of the best bands ever. He also formed La Dusseldorf with his brother.

Oh for goodness sake, what a crappy year this is. Lloyd wasn't a driver as such (he was years ago though, in touring cars), but he was a long-time team boss - spent over 30 years in the sport. David Leslie, however, was one of Britain's longest-serving & most popular touring car drivers of the modern era. Came extremely close to driving in Formula 1 aeons ago too. Every private plane crash I start to think if someone in motor racing is involved.. with McRae & now Leslie, I'll keep thinking that. RIP. Don't under any circumstances let racing drivers pilot aeroplanes!

Well he is young after all. Maybe he's growing up. There'll be no chance of that happening to me!

I don't think there is one this year. I've heard nothing...

Angus Fairhurst, one of the Young British Artists of the 90s along with Damien Hurst and Tracey Emin, has committed suicide aged 41...

He's got till midnight to give me an oh-so-late points boost for the WDP!

I had no idea Max Mosely was even related to Oswald, let alone being his son! You learn something every day...

From what I can see, Badly-Torn and Hunting Halos, unless they play their hand?

Here's the Top 10 with a quarter of the year gone.... 1. Godot's Waiting List 71 2. The Living End 69 3. They're Dead, Y'Know! 59 4. R.I.P. It Up And Start Again 49 5. Tonight Matthew, I'm Going To Be Badly-Torn Boy 44 6. Misers 42 7. Meet Your Maker 39 8. Rude Kid 36 9. Master Mind 35 10. Hunting Halos 33 As you can see, the field is starting to stretch, but there's plenty of time for others to catch up...

And so have Derby County

Well after missing out on Philip Jones Griffiths, I suppose I better 'snap' him up...... *Tumbleweed drifts by....*

Trying to sex up Snooker eh? Well I'm not having it! With its players grasping their long cues, open legged and straddling the table, knocking balls and filling pockets, rubbing their tips before performing a deep screw, to have someone bring sex into it is quite distasteful.....

And it seems that the poor man didn't get a decent obit on the BBC, owing to a fit of giggles on Radio 4 this morning... Here's a BBC link No there was a BBC link!

And it seems that the poor man didn't get a decent obit on the BBC, owing to a fit of giggles on Radio 4 this morning...

Max Schell will have to watch himself then...

Well that's the tagline written... It's also another hit (a 9th!) for Mr Godot and his waiting list, which puts him top of the heap!

That's hit number 5 then...

Happy Birthday The Miser.... ...and belated greetings to BHB!

When you mentioned 'unhinged' and Rab C Nesbitt, I assumed it was the wee man who played his son. Didn't he get into a spot of bother a while ago?

Bert WILLIAMS, I think you mean. I'm innocent for that one, it was up there already, but regardless, I'll change it for the next time. You're responsible for one pic though - Lenox Hewitt - couldn't find any pic at all - any ideas? Yes Williams. Where the hell did Wallace come from? I've tried to look for Hewitt's picture to no avail. Perhaps we'll get one in the Times Obituary if he finally cops it...

Good work son.... I did notice that the picture for Bert Wallace the footballer is actually of Don Revie! This is Bert...

Welcome David. I'm assuming you're not the David Benson!

Well, Paul Newman isn't meant to be too well and of course we are all waiting on Sydney Pollack...

I met him too - lovely man. Had a lot of time for the general public & none for luvvies. He probably would have detested Scofield then, ironically. Scofield's death has been woefully under-reported - the man was an acting colossus - better than Olivier (Controversial, but my opinion nonetheless). Looks like the Easter drop-out season is still as fresh as new baby lambs. He was great as the Narrator in the documentaries 'London' and 'Robinson In Space'...

Actor Paul Scofield is dead. Link to come... ...and here it is!
