Grim Up North

RIP

That is a shock. He'll probably be remembered for the Ashes 8-53 (?) but I remember that Viv Richards had a very low regard for him as a bowler and whenever he came on to bowl to Richards he used to smash him round the park. If it was a short illness he obviously didn't approach death off his customary run up!

Off with his head

Thanks for confirming Toast. Yeah there's nothing we can do about the treatment of the email at the other end.

The dead centre of Derby no less. Hi - I'm the idiot who thought the easy bit would be taking all the entries and entering them into the spreadsheet etc - once that's done in about July though (although perhaps I shouldn't joke till I've successfully loaded a few) I get to put my feet up and leave it to the other two. As I'm going to be seeing everyone's teams and entering them into the spreadsheet I've already sent my team to YW. Wish us luck (and accuracy and attention to detail and humorous obit writing and a solid IT platform...…)

Ahh David Hagen - thanks Banana I'd forgotten about him

It's a massive city - you'll be fine.

is is

Yes the announcement is a little ambiguous in that he collapsed at home and died from a subdural hematoma but it's not clear if he collapsed because of the hematoma or got the hematoma when he collapsed which led to his death. Either way very sad and sudden for his nearest and dearest.

I was at an event in aid of the charity which he attended on 10th July. He was chatting, laughing and joking and walking round mingling with people. if I hadn’t known he was ill I wouldn’t have known he was ill.

Clive James a hit for me and many others here.

Yes RIP Clive - feels like an old friend that I'd lost touch with has died.

Yep she's spent all her money on Harvey and Charlie
