VSBfromH 74 Posted September 15, 2005 Can I propose a new thread in which we celebrate those who cannot be classed as famous in a worldwide or even a national sense, but deserve a mention. This could be the place to note those quirky or surreal deaths, or simply those people who you feel deserve a mention due to the content of the report of their death. Hopefully it will declutter the "Near Misses" thread. I will kick it off with the following, who deserves to be a minor star in the firmament due to his assumed title (I doubt any of you had him in your death pools!): The Fred Astaire of Widnes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
