Lady Die 63 Posted August 1, 2007 Summer 07 is turning out like summer 97 in terms of celebrity deaths. I wonder which of the Royal family will cark it at the end of August. Hopefully all of them. Maybe someone will bomb the Diana memorial service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it's Lethbridge Stewart. NAP, this is Iain again. Iain made up Courtney's death before, and now he's doing it again. Quite why he thinks we should fall it, in the first place is beyond me, but twice.... well that is absolute stupidity of the highest order. Not to mention that Iain couldn't even spell Nicholas right... Courtney, is, according to a blog site currently do a series on BBC7 Radio. He's more alive than most of us.

VSBfromH 74 Posted August 3, 2007 Former Labour MP Ron Brown has died aged 69 "one of the most controversial characters ever to grace the House of Commons ...

themaninblack 2,112 Posted August 4, 2007 Profilic TV & stage actor John Normington has also succumbed to pancreatic disease, at the age of 70. Goodness me! I was just watching him in "Midsomer Murders" this weekend and trying to recall what I had seen him in previously. I think it was his performance in an episode of "Yes, Prime Minister", as I remember noting that John Nettleton was in that also. That's John Nettleton, born 1929 by the way, just in case anyone's interested (although he still appears to be quite active). Met him in 1992, nice man. Brilliant as Morgus in Doctor Who. Saw him in Torchwood and didn't think he looked that well, if only I trusted my instincts.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

in eternum+ 20 Posted August 6, 2007 Doris Richards, 91, mother of Rolling Stone Keith Richards has died. I thought this was discussed elsewhere but I couldn't find it, so... Turns out that Keef really did snort his dad's ashes, after all. So says Keef: "What I found out is that ingesting your ancestors is a very respectable way of... y'know, he went down a treat." Mmmm... ancestors... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was reported on the night I posted this and they said it happened "overnight." Poor research on my part admittedly, but I was gullible enough to believe what I saw on the telly ipso facto. Sorry for the doubleup VSBFH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
