Dr. Zorders

No I think it was the next season actually (but I still can't be arsed to check properly). BTW, don't worry I'm not that young so no need to feel that bad. This is a world of One Directions and Justin Biebers, everyone who's over 23 (and isn't a Facebook millionaire) is now considered a washed-up bum. Not that I'm saying that's a healthy situation we find ourselves in, of course. Still the fact remains, all I have to do is look up a footballer on Wikipedia while I'm watching some on TV and see "Born: 1993" and I feel like Abe Simpson myself. Maybe it's just me and I'm dangerously neurotic.

Good 'effin Christ @ that pink Brighton shirt After further consideration I've decided that orange and grey Chelsea kit is the best away kit ever. Also, here's another, er, "classic" away kit from the mid-90's. Mail your eye surgery bills/complaints to Peterborough United FC. And finally I forgot to mention I actually owned the notorious grey Man Utd 3rd kit. My parents bought me one when I was a kid because they were selling 'em cheap after the Southampton debacle. I wonder if it's still somewhere in the house...

ABSOLUTEMENT. (to borrow a phrase from Arnold Rimmer). That's in fact the first thing I was expecting to see. To correct you though, Man Utd only lost 3-1 that day. They did lose 6-3 to Southampton in a later game (dunno if it was the same season). The Chelsea kit featured on that article greatly reminded me of it. What a corker that is. I honestly can't decide if I hate it or like it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/22004803 I thought I'd post this here so other football fans can enjoy a trip down memory lane. In some cases, suppressed-memory lane. I'm shocked by one particular omission though, that almost always gets mentioned in these articles. Anyone care to hazard a guess what specifically I'm referring to?

Y'know I didn't think much of your comment yesterday but then last night I was watching BBC news and they had a military "expert" on talking about it. Dunno if anyone else saw the guy I watched, but..... Let's just say it's never a good thing when any so-called expert speaking on ANY subject uses the words "But maybe I've just been watching too many gangster movies". (yes he did actually say that).

I wish I could make a special rule for this thread. I personally really don't want to be reminded of him existing unless it is in fact to report that he is dead (and sadly the possibility of him dying soon seems to be down because as far as we can tell his cancer has shockingly receded as quickly as the hairline on one of his teenage male guests. I'm sure many feel the same way about this vile creature. We need a new rule which states that no-one's allowed to bump this thread again until it's to report the news of his actual death. On pain of banning.

Someone must have told them it was carrying 3 million units of beer.

I think this is a bit different. Compared to this situation, Clive James was basically just being a bit of a drama queen because he has a lung condition. I seem to remember his agent or someone like that even saying (shortly after "Clive James: I'm dying" became a media thing) that he'll be around for a while (although we'll see obviously). With Banks we're talking about end-stage cancer. And he's quoting his doctors. Let's give the NHS some credit. If there's one thing they understand, it's death.

Is Iain M. Banks going to be okay?

I think he's trying to say that a long term stay just isn't FEEsible.

Wow that was quick. I still think they could beat Aston Villa though.

£666 a week? Spooky.... I wonder what some of the other prices are like. Help with wiping: £220 per wipe Happy ending massages: Price negotiable/depends on grossness/number of wrinkles

Poor Dickie. Once he starred in Jurassic Park, now he's been moved to Jurassic Park.

Wow it's spread to 2 vital organs and her bones.

Aaw, really? Damn. Steroids was the reason I put Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan on my list. And the reason I almost put Schwarzenegger on there.

And they don't make a very good football team.

At least that means we won't get "Another, Yes ANOTHER 48 Hours".

Yeah that quote never gets old. And the routine where all the stuff falls off the shelf onto Meinheimer's head was hilarious. But come on, Naked Gun 1 is pretty much flawless. "And the rocket's red glare....... buncha bombs in the air.... gave proof to the night that we still had our flag". Is this off-topic or what? Are we gonna get fined for this?

Oh whoops I forgot to mention, does anyone else remember him in The Naked Gun 2½ as Dr. Albert S. Meinheimer/Earl Hacker? He was funny as hell in that, and a highlight of what was a very patchy film. Especially the bit where he wakes up the sleeping audience by reading that dirty novel.

But none *bigger* than Griffiths surely. If you get my drift. My extremely subtle drift. Haha, drift - that guy probably liked a Drifter bar or three! Geddit?!!?? So anyway, sad news but not necessarily the most surprising ever. I saw Withnail & I for the first time late last year where he of course played Uncle Monty. Pretty priceless stuff every time he was on screen. Even if I genuinely thought he would die this "young" (which I didn't) I still wouldn't have had the heart to actually list him.. Ok now let's talk shop for a second. I'm definitely putting Ian McNeice on my 2014 list, after this news. Not gonna let two obese actors die without getting at least one. Actually, for some reason I always thought McNeice would be the first to go in the little Fat Bastard Actor deathrace/sweepSTEAKS between him and Griffiths

Oof.......I hate to sound like someone off the Daily Mail or DigitalSpy comments section but... bloody hell, what a horror show.

I guess the upside of death for guys like him is not having to go to Comic-Con any more.

Did anyone just hear that sound? Sounded like a small, round circular thing with two faces, made out of metal, dropping and then landing on a hard surface?

Looks like another one of the unsung but brilliant types who quietly add tons of class to the movies they work on. Amazing to think he must have worked on Dr No when he was barely old enough to order a watered down Vodka Martini. I just love that urgent riff in the "gunbarrel" sequences at the beginning of the older movies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkvBojJ6d5o Also more awesomeness from the far-more-watchable-than-most-Bonds "A View to a Kill" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f98i7N8g9Pw Got to love those mad 80s guitar licks!
