One shot Paddy 1,141 Posted January 8, 2007 One bit of Info that im sure won't come out is the story of his arrest in the 70s. The army tied him to his own carbomb and made him defuse it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 584 Posted January 9, 2007 Wikipedia and various specialist forums are saying that pedal steel guitar legend Sneaky Pete Kleinow has died of Alzheimers. Haven't found a proper obit as of yet but if he is dead that's a huge loss to country-rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSBfromH 74 Posted January 9, 2007 OK, CP, I take your point! Hopefully I'm on safe ground with this one: Iwao Takamoto animator who "designed and named the beloved Great Dane Scooby-Doo and many other cartoon characters" has died aged 81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such a great loss and a very talented animator. One of the true masters before the use of cgi clouded the talents of animation. I bought "Lady and The Tramp" for my daughter on dvd last month and she loves that movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twelvetrees 10 Posted January 9, 2007 England's oldest surviving Test cricketer Norman "Mandy" Mitchell-Innes has died aged 92: Anyone know who takes the "oldest surviving" mantle now? Ken Cranston (20.10.17) takes the mantle, and is also England's oldest living Test captain. He is the tenth oldest living Test cricketer, according to this list.. Hate to quote myself, but Ken Cranston's short reign is over after less than a fortnight. Step up Arthur McIntyre (14.05.18). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm having the same problem with NASCAR drivers, I picked Parsons and then Bobby Hamilton & Dan Shaver both die Can't see any of them getting UK obits. As long as Parsons gets any obit, I still get a point I forgot to get my entry in for the DDP as I was out most of the weekend before the new year, so hopefully next year I'll get my selections in on time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love that movie if I didn't deal daily with the Cocker Spaniel fallout from the 50s and 60s, partially fueled by that movie. However, I did adore Takamoto's other work.
