DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted March 15, 2008 Tony Dye, who is (or was) a big name on the stock exchange (it says here) has had to wind up the $70million hedge fund he runs because of ill health. I don't know what a hedge fund is (or does) but I do know a hard nosed business man wouldn't throw his money away unless he was bloody ill. Anyway, onwards, his nickname, which he gained in the 1990s when he correctly prognosticated that the internet bubble would burst, was "Doctor Doom". With a surname like Dye and a nickname like Doom, this chap could go a long way... Tony Dye is dead. I searched for his name on DL and the above post appeared... I have absolutely no recollection of writing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His throat was cut. At first I thought, what a cool name that guy has. Not only is he a drummer, but his surname is "Drummer" then I realised his name is actually Ola Brunkert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted March 18, 2008 Where's that person who said we'd not had any major deaths for a while... Captain Birdseye dead! Noooooooooooooooooo! The entire nation is plunged into mourning. Why the media thinks Minghella's death is more important, I'll never know. His films were long, normally sh*t & I always got him mixed up with Sam Mendes. But Captain Birdseye.... I am griefstricken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"A poll in 1983 named Captain Birdseye as the most recognised captain in the world after Captain Cook" That would be me, my friend. Never heard of John Hewer, but today, just found out that Academy Award winning director Anthony Minghella (The English Patient, Cold Mountain) just died so I will acknowledge that his death was certainly noteworthy. Died fairly young too (age 54). I didn't like The English Patient, but I thought that The Talented Mr. Ripley was superb. Edited: yes, it should've been John Hewer. Really sorry about the mistake.
