themaninblack 2,112 Posted July 25, 2009 Prolific Northern Irish actor Harry Towb has died aged 83. Equally at home on stage and screen, he was recently seen in "Eastenders" as Janine Butcher's elderly fiancé. His widow is Diana Hoddinott, best known for her role as Jim Hacker's wife in "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister". One of those familiar faces difficult to put a name to, I see he also made appearances in "Doctor Who" in 1969 and 1971. He was in "The Seeds of Death", but better known in Who circles for suffocating in a plastic chair in "Terror of the Autons"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bob Loblah Posted July 26, 2009 25Jul09 The list of 2009 is still a long, long way off of predictions. May God take care of those on the list and let them live ever longer. Forever and Ever Bob Loblah Norbert Rondel. Not famous in any sense of the word, but he lived a colourful life which has produced a really good obituary from The Guardian.

time 7,939 Posted July 26, 2009 Gladys Longbridge, better known as Lady Bustamente, or Lady B, widow of former Jamaican Prime Minister Sir Alexander Bustamente, has died aged 97. Fair chance of a UK obit, as the Observer published an interview with her last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Applecool Downunder 10 Posted July 27, 2009 White 10, an osprey. No firm evidence of death yet, you cannot claim DDP points. A bit like Steve Fossett last year. Oh, and it's just a bird.

FFS! 1 - They won't find the evidence because I've just eaten it........YUM!!!! 2 - There are no DDP points available because the little FUC - chicks - KERS hadn't hatched when the DDP started.

Godot 148 Posted July 27, 2009 White 10, an osprey. No firm evidence of death yet, you cannot claim DDP points. A bit like Steve Fossett last year. Oh, and it's just a bird. Maybe I should put up a posting for the ant I killed in the kitchen? Just a bird? Philistine. I have just been watching Ospreys in Scotland, The ones we watched on the river Cassley had just the one chick. Another nest about seven miles away was deserted when only one parent returned. That said the Ospreys generally are doing quite well and there are plenty about in Scotland, everywhere except Fraserborough. I'm on the move from nest to nest just now (Funchal today) hence sporadic posting. I can't help noticing there seems to have been an influx of dickheads on the forum. Oh well, I guess it's the silly season. Whoever you are, welcome dickheads but don't overstay and don't on any account upset our cherished regulars. I have noticed some rather rude comments directed at the gentle LFN, Lardy, Rotten Ali and the "mostly harmless" Honez to name just five. If just one dickhead could be converted in to a reasonably articulate poster I guess that would be a result. I'm not holding my breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I read somewhere that Funchal would be one of the last cities in the Northern Hemisphere to succumb to radiation poisoning if a full scale nuclear war occurred. Something to do with it's lack of nearby targets and favourable air currents keeping the fallout away. I hope you sleep better for knowing this, Godot.
