Rude Kid 3 Posted August 9, 2004 Bernard Levin no more! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/t...dio/3549674.stm DWB That old clip where some bloke walks up to him and lamps him on live TV will no doubt get another airing on tonight's news then He was once thrown out of a hotel in Blackpool after likening the town to an "elephant's anus" Ah, how times change. These days, that'd be a compliment. In fact, he'd get thrown out of a circus for likening an elephant's anus to Blackpool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy 21 Posted August 14, 2004 Another Nobel prize winner bites the dust. It seems very timely that with the sudden outbreak of poetry in the pages of the forum, Czeslaw Milosz has realised that he can no longer compete, and slipped quietly away. I look forward to Poetry Man's lines on a fellow poet, and wonder if he could follow the style of Milosz, and compose it entirely in Polish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Typhoid Harry 23 Posted August 15, 2004 He was once thrown out of a hotel in Blackpool after likening the town to an "elephant's anus" Ah, how times change. These days, that'd be a compliment. In fact, he'd get thrown out of a circus for likening an elephant's anus to Blackpool. Blackpool reminded me; worst arsekicking I ever received was asking a guy from Hartlepool, "Who hung the monkey?". http://www.rjh.f2s.com/monkey/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted September 1, 2004 Carl Wayne Just heard on the radio about the demise of the lead singer of the Move.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/default.stm Why arent 60's band members famous enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted September 1, 2004 They are famous enough - it's just that he hadn't made it to the 2004 list for a couple of reasons. 1 - Nobody had thought to mention him & 2 - Nobody had thought to mention he had cancer. Apart from that, no reason at all not to be included. Oh well . . . DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted September 2, 2004 One of Carl's earlier songs with The Move was "I can hear the grass grow". I think a better title now would be: "I can help the grass grow". DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jeffonthego Posted September 3, 2004 She's not dead. She can't $%#! be dead! C'mon, she's not really dead is she? Oh, I can't believe she's dead, oh god. Ok she's dead, so much for getting her on deathlist. Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, death and grief debate pioneer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy 21 Posted September 3, 2004 It is reassuring to see that you have worked through the five stages. The news of her death reached us last week (see this thread), and in our own ways, like you, we have been trying to find that stage of acceptance. Never having heard of her prior to her death, I am happy to report that I jumped straight to the final stage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
