I preferred Dudley Sutton when he played Mr Carter the history teacher in the Beiderbecke Trilogy I've bumped into Mark Wing-Davey (Zaphod Beedlebrox) and also Christopher Biggins up by Tower Hill, although not on the same day -
He might get a passing mention in the Entertainment section on the BBC website. if you choose their International version

I'd have had him down for the position of Ambassador in charge of religious genocide

Ahh, yes that is totally ridiculous Oh and another one I've got, While working for a security company at Canary Wharf during its construction, my manager who was notorious for spelling mistakes sent a memo around regarding some VIP visitors. I went through the memo with a red pen, underlining all the spelling errors and wrote on the top "2/10 - must try harder". And for my punishment, I had to escort the VIPs around the construction site. John Major and Michael Heseltine -

DDT, yes that's the same Donnington where 2 people were crushed to death. I missed most of the G'n'R set as the neanderthal boyfriend of an old schoolfriend decided to punch me in the face because I was giving my friend a hug. All I recall was "Oi! that's my girlfriend!!" and then the searing pain as his fist connected with my nose -

I thought he did get a knighthood shortly before he died, if I'm wrong I'll amend it to just read "Bobby Moore" -

Oh and I met Sir Bobby Moore at London Zoo, I don't really remember it as I was only 6 months old and from what my mum tells me, I dribbled on his shoulder when he picked me up -
Yes, my grandmother, I was there right beside her when she took her last breath.

yeah, there're always a couple of people that spoil it for the others

Lemmy sat and talked to me when I broke my nose during the Guns 'n' Roses set at Donnington 1988, nice bloke, he even bought me a pint. When my dad worked at South Kensington Postal Sorting Office, I was given the job of handing Frank Oz his letters when he came in to collect them. It was during the summer holidays so I would sometimes go with him to work to earn some extra pocket money. oh and I once trod on Bob Dylan's foot whilst walking down Carnaby Street in '87 while Dylan was in London filming "Hearts of Fire" Once jammed with Francis Rossi & Ricky Parfitt one night whilst drinking and getting stoned near Teddington Lock. Ricky appeared on GMTV the following morning and boldly told Anne Diamond and Nick Owen that he'd quit drinking, even though his eyes were slightly bloodshot from the night before -

I think Meinhardt charges $35 for a photo as he delivered more lines you can always take your pick of them from here. So you wanna hire a munchkin? -

Jerry Maren is currently alive & well, looking good for someone who is 86. He was at Mall of America today signing autographs -
BBC has him as being 82

I voted for Ronnie Biggs, who is curently 2nd in my list. On my personal DP my #1 pick of Tony Banks "Lord Stratford" died first. so here's hoping
-
Ahhh I hadn't seen that one
-
Numéro Trois? has a second person already died? Shouldn't that be Numero deux?
-
ahhh I thought it was something that had just been anounced

Millwall All too true, Mr Zimmerman is not in by any means, poor health. Although that incident regarding chicken faeces, was quite a serious matter for a short time. Dylan himself is quoted to have said that he thought he was about to join Elvis. He didn't state if that was Presley or Costello, I assume it was the former. He will be around for a good 15-20 years, I would admit though he has lost a fair bit of weight, whether or not that was intentionally for the role he played in the movie "Masked and Anonymous" but he did look fairly gaunt

To commemorate the death of Karen Carpenter, Hasbro are releasing a new range of toy It's called My Little Boney
-
Only just at the mention of his name, but never really read up on what an evil bastard he truly is

Louise Scruggs wife of Earl Scruggs has died aged 78
-
it should be interesting to see what the new Israeli PM does about the situation regarding Palestine
-
would have to admit that even 50 years back June Brown wouldn't have been my type as such. But she'll be around a fair bit longer, I'd give her another 10-15 years at least

I think most people forgot he was still alive.. until he died that is
