BrunoBrimley 83 Posted June 26, 2012 The jockey Campbell Gillies has died while on holiday, aged 21. He had a winner, Brindisi Breeze, at this year's Cheltenham Festival. The horse is dead too is it not? Bolted from its stable right into the front of a truck... Verily I say unto thee that this is true. BB (one will note we share the same initials, too bad we didn't share the winnings), was murdered by a truck or a lorry or a tanker (each article offers a different name for the vehicle) after escaping from the paddock early one Saturday morning in May of this year. He was said to have died instantly according to trainer Lucinda Russell. Clearly BB was psychic and knew what fate awaited young Campbell and knew he'd want his favorite steed upon arrival in the next world.

Guest Norman Posted June 30, 2012 So far the first three picks on the list have died. I think the top three picks have only obliged once before, in 2008. Now we just need Ronnie Biggs to be sent to the great jail in the sky to have a really good 2012 record of getting the first four in a row! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 8,732 Posted July 5, 2012 The avtor James Grout has died at 83.He was best known perhaps as the boss of Inspector Morse in the show of the same name.. http://www.guardian....y?newsfeed=true This is sad news as I thought he was wonderful but it did get me thinking! James Grout played Mr Butterbur, who as you all know is the innkeeper at the Prancing Pony in Bree, in the Radio 4 adaptation of Lord of the Rings. With the exception of the hobbits (Ian Holm, Bill Nighy, Richard McCabe) most of the major cast members are no longer with us (Michael Horden, Robert Stephens, Jack May, John Le Messurier) when I get some time I might check out the full cast and update!
