Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted February 11, 2010 Alexander McQueen has killed himself. You've got to say it Gone out of fashion Here's another article, which I post solely because it mentions the woman who apparently discovered Alexander McQueen. Fashion director and magazine editor Isabella Blow, whose name works on so many levels it approaches you couldn't make it up territory. Regicide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madame Defarge 21 Posted February 12, 2010 crabfisher Phil Harris, known for his apearence on Discovery Channels documentary series Deadliest Catch has died. I was sorry to hear he didn't make it. Of course, everyone is blaming the fags and the Red Bulls, but crab fishing is one of the most physically punishing and dangerous jobs you can ever have. Phil Harris was the captain of the Cornelia Marie, shown here with crazy waves, wild weather and the 22-20s. He also was the spokesman for a brand of coffee called Deadliest Brew. R.I.P.

VSBfromH 74 Posted February 13, 2010 Former Chelsea and Yugoslavia keeper Petar Borota has died aged 56. Also a tribute here. Borota was famed for his eccentricity, often dribbling the ball out of his penalty area and taking on opposing players. Despite, or because of, this, he was a huge hit with the Chelsea fans and was voted their player of the year in 1981. He joined Chelsea from Partizan Belgrade and clocked up 114 matches for the London club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted February 15, 2010 Does an obit in The Scotsman count? Yes. The same newspaper will give Canadian Paul joy as it has an obituary for William Tenn. Nothing for Lyon/Schuermann, but that's to be expected really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
