Poor Geoff Capes. Although he did inspire two amusing moments at dinner, when my dad said 'they had him on there just now' without specifying it was a TV programme from the past when he was alive; and then again when my mum called him 'Geoff Grapes'.

I wish he'd grown grapes, they would've been the strongest grapes in the world.

Also weeep. Candyman is so much better than it probably ever should have been.

Also I haven't seen that new candyman (and had no idea he was in it again), but kept meaning too

RIP Timothy West

A fine actor whose performances sometimes scared me a bit when I was a young pup.

RIP John Prescott

A man egged you and you rightfully punched him in the face.

I think David Lynch probably made me cry more than any other artist (the lady in the radiator, elephant man, harry dean stanton looking up at the sky at the very end of the straight story, almost every single second of fire walk with me)

Oh man. I’d kind of been preparing myself since he stopped doing his weather reports on YouTube. But still.

such a sadness

Jonathan Nash of Amiga Power, and also latter-years Your Sinclair, has died. His "Or Something" personal site had two last updates made over the last few years, indicating some sort of illness. The news was broken by both Mil Millington and Dirk Maggs (who had worked with them both on a BBC Radio adaption of Sexton Blake) via Bluesky.

I've written a bit about his passing.

Weeep. How awful

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Jan 24, 2025 8:35 pm

Awww, that's a shame.

I came to his writings rather late, as I didn't read YS or AP, but he was a damn talented chap.

I'm sure he had a humour website pre-Or Something, but I can't remember what it was called - The Victorian Gentleman? or something along those lines?

RIP

I think the chortle hound contributed to that site in some way as well.

you know how Kurt Cobain wanted a Leonard Cohen afterworld?

I want a David Lynch afterworld.

Meantime just endless David Lynch videos

Her version of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, is a true wonder to behold.

From reading onna another frum, it would seem that America's regulatory rules regarding the installation of cm sensors is rather lacking compared to our own.

And now the Hackman et al deaths might be... something else? How odd.

I had a bit of a weep today after signing paperwork for a terminally ill neighbour.

The poor feller. :'(

I needed (and had) a couple of whiskies after that.

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 14, 2025 9:35 pm

Well that’s awful. Hope you’re okay homfrus

Post by **vom** » Fri Mar 14, 2025 9:42 pm

oh no, that sounds really rough.

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Mar 15, 2025 1:55 am

Yup, it wasn't great, but it had to be done I guess, and the neighbour thanked me for doing it, so I'll keep hold of that thought whilst necking down some cheapo beer.

RIP Eddie Jordan

I always thought you were a bit of a dick, but also entertaining and a real smart operator in the world of F1.

The sport could do with a few more like him.

And rebranded as TGJones?!?

It's like a knock off brand you might see in a game or TV show.

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 28, 2025 9:56 pm

there must be an actual template in photoshop or something for all these terrible fake brands, like the ones they use in tescos and saisnburys and whatever where they hope you don't realise you're buying tesco value shit any more, because they're all absolutely indistingusihable from each other yet its somehow always utterly obvious they're not real, too

I've got a £506 high end designer t-shirt by 'Goochie' - Cricketer Graham Gooch's 'Gucci' knock-off brand.
