Got any plans to retire? All I will say is that nothing lasts forever...

You could return in ten years and no doubt the DDP will still be around... Still sad to see a legend retire. That will mean only myself of the people to have run the DDP to still compete from next year.

He's running out of petrol though, and fast...

Easter Sunday, I recall...

Basically, yes . Theyre just praying he won't invade the rest of Ukraine.My moneys on that he will Democracy and freedom-0-1-Adolf Putin Yeah, I realise that now he probs will. It's not that he's invading Ukraine I don't give a toss about them, it's about the fact that it's an escalation. Oh well, I'll just have to do a Hendrix and hit on my commanding officer and they'll send me home for being a hom..... OH FUCK they won't even do that any more. I thought that was Iggy Pop?

Tyldesley gets a reprieve...

Probably by date of announcement if we don't know. Seems it was natural causes too...

So, er..... what is that? Just normal recipes by holocaust survivors? Or is it a collection of ingeniously resourceful recipes that will come in really useful if you are ever put into concentration camp(s)? Like how to make a lovely chilli con carne out of just dead rats? One thing is for sure, they wouldn't have been short of an oven or two...

Come on, who's working for Huffpost?

Gonna keep my power dry on Umarov until it's established the exact circumstances of his death, if indeed he is dead...

And a sort of French equivalent , Marc Blondel, has pegged it at 75. Only froggie reports so far.... There was only one Bob Crow in England, bloody loads of them in France!

That's sad. They're delicious. I prefer eating pork to fish. From a 40 yr old divorcee, that might be construed as protesting too much.

Wasn't there a tremor or something a few days before?

Well it claws a bit back after Benn & Crow's demise I suppose...

That's both Ashton brothers gone now. Who'd have thought in 1971 that Iggy Pop would outlive the rest of his band?

I've heard a rumour that the Malaysians are going to drop finding that plane and try and find the Manchester United midfield instead...

Amongst all the hullabaloo, what's slipped under the radar is that Benn's eldest son Stephen becomes the 3rd Viscount Stansgate...

There used to be more contributors full stop. I've racked up over 9 years now. Feel like an old timer...

Can't imagine he'd be too far behind though. Well, a couple of years at the most...

Harbingers of Krautrock...

My mum & dad met him 30 odd years ago. A great man. RIP...

If there's a link then it's valid...

I was going to listen to "A Showerful of Sparks" about the mercurial brothers Mael, but then I heard Stuart Maconie and David Quantick in the first 30 secs and thought better of it. They're ace, that's all that matters...

A bit like 2010, really. Plenty of hits so far but somewhat diffuse, with the exception of your good self...
