the_engineer 1,415 Posted August 31, 2012 Sergei Sokolov, former Minister of Defense for the USSR and commander of the ground troops during the Invasion of Afghanistan, has died at the ripe old age of 101. No English obits yet, but he is a unique pick by theme team Twenty Tons of Fun? on the DDP. By English obit you mean English language or English (as in England ) news.

msc 18,476 Posted August 31, 2012 This might be a wee bit obscure, but given there's a load of music lovers on here, someone might wish to know that George Gallacher of Glasgow blues band The Poets died on the 28th, age 68. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems a lot older when you throw leukaemia into the mix Yea one of the worst types of cancer imo you don't hear many people beating leukemia or it going into remission like some other cancers. Not an expert on leukaemia but I think successful treatment of it pretty variable, dependent on factors like how soon it's diagnosed and treated, how old/healthy patient is, whether or not compatible bone marrow can be found etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted September 7, 2012 Very sorry to hear of the Nutkinster's passing. As a young lad, I met him at London Zoo when our class were selected for a feature on Newsround about red squirrels and their habitat. He put us all at ease before we went on before the cameras, gave us bags of nuts to give to the squirrels and had all the enthuiasm that he became famous for in his TV career. For years my claim to fame was based on the above where I blithely said "You can see me throwing Terry Nutkin's nuts on television". Alas, this is prior to You Tube....

More likley Johnny Morris left him the money as Mr nutkins was the only person still talking to hin when he died, JM by all accounts was a very vindictive and precious human being who would take pleasure in bullying those who he felt had slighted him.
