As well as burying Jade Goody. And the Krays. Did they do Ronnie Biggs?

So his dad was an undertaker too - what else, with a name like Dyer. I remember watching the documentary series about the business.

Livelong railway steward John Bennett, who set such standards that "he was regularly called to Buckingham Palace to serve at state banquets", has died at 99:

He also served regularly on the Royal train (!) and had enough time to do some investing on the side which he apparently did with a lot of success. He served in the War and received the Russia's Ushakov medal for bravery, but only after a delay of several decades.

Bosnian man drives his car through a crowd in Graz, Austria. Then stabs them. Kills 3 injures 30.

 

OH MY GOD I WONDER WHAT THE MOTIVATION WAS.

but I'll stick it in this thread since they like denying these repeated incidents, which have started popping up since the rise of ISIS, are jihad.

I wasn't sure what thread to put this in, so I guess this is as good a place as any.

Thought of starting a dance/ballet thread but couldn't come up with a witty subtitle.

So maybe next time.

But for THIS time, former New York ballet star Albert Evans has exited stage left at 46, just beyond the Under 45 thread.

Marva Collins, American educator and subject of "The Marva Collins Story" (whoo, original title egads!), 78. http://abc7chicago.com/education/pioneering-chicago-educator-marva-collins-dies-at-age-78/805434/

 

Anyone with an hour and three quarters can watch the movie:

I got beat up for posting a questionable Aussie educator, I have to say this person also sounds like a complete no one. I too was guilty I guess.
