RadGuy 1,614 Posted November 27, 2019 So he died on November 24th ya say... (Edit: Swear I had nothing to do with it!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RolandDeschain 91 Posted November 27, 2019 I 'had a feeling' that he would probably go not too long after his 80th to be honest. Maybe it was his goal to survive his 70s? 10 years (even when the cancer isn't supposed to be as aggressive as some) with cancer can't have been great to live with but the treatments he had certainly kept him going and the interviews he gave right near the end showed he wasn't suffering as much as some people do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst he identified as being on the "left", I see him as more of a centrist. He was always critical of the socialist/commie types, supported the war in Iraq and was a climate change skeptic. To be fair, his views were all over the place. A hard one to place. He liked to think for himself, that made him unique. RIP. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,967 Posted November 27, 2019 Ah, I was always waiting for that "Now I go gently into that long night" kind of announcement as soon as his treatment stopped working. But in the end, he had no more words. RIP though, I only knew him through the DeathList, but he was quite entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is what made him interesting.He was a contrarian in some respects.Always politically centrist but not dogmatically so and could always say something the other side would find contentious.He was never partisan or dogmatically and radically centrist as so many of the bores that write today's columns are.

Sean 6,315 Posted November 27, 2019 Sad to see him go a very interesting man to read and listen to.Astounded he lasted this long.Like Dunn Zsa Zsa and Biggs I think he will be quoted on this site for years to come.A great tease.I wonder if his dry sense of humour and morbidity would have made him chuckle at the Deathlist.

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted November 27, 2019 Sad news, he was great. Mind you, to say he'd been very ill for years and with a dire early prognosis, he had a good innings. RIP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted November 27, 2019 Just home after a busy day. Caught it on TV this afternoon. Always objectively laughing with the silliness of the world while at the same time absolutely loving the world. A top class thinker who was always one of us. Nothing he did was without substantiating and affirming our own idiocy and our own brilliance. I'd like to thank him for making me laugh, making me think, making me weep. Probably simultaneously. RIP. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted June 24, 2020 Sad news if true. I remember her from Channel 4's 'Manhattan Cable' (a few years before Clive James) and she was always hilarious. I also saw her live in Sunderland in 1995(?) - fab, of course, and my friend Mark got a kiss from her which he's never quite lived down. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
