Post by **blombluss** » Fri Mar 31, 2023 1:28 pm

His coffin should be decorated with the lovely covers of their old computer books. Also - gravestone.

Deady Springer.

I'm not sure how I feel about him, to be honest. He seemed a likeable guy, but was he just a more colourful Jeremy Kyle?

Post by **endar** » Fri Apr 28, 2023 3:25 pm

Far more classy than Kunty Kyle

Terrence Hardiman RIP :'(

When he wasn't scary, he was terrifying.

(Experimental/avant garde/entirely baffling film director) Kenneth Anger died this week. How he was still alive I do not know. His first films were from the 1930s

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Jun 12, 2023 7:44 pm

Oh no, Berlusconi's gone. :'(

Not just an inspiration, but also a close personal friend...

Post by **endar** » Mon Jun 12, 2023 8:02 pm

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Jun 12, 2023 9:39 pm

Hehehe!

I expect he was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

on bbc news earlier for some reason when they were doing their bit on this the person talking about her finished by saying, "oh you interviewed her before didn't you" to the presenter and then she laughed and said, ""yeah lol it was the 90s i had no idea who she was" and then they went on to the next story

Post by **dng** » Sun Jul 16, 2023 10:14 pm

Post by **dng** » Sun Jul 16, 2023 10:15 pm

Post by **dng** » Sun Jul 16, 2023 10:17 pm

Ugh, what a crappy way to finish a piece.

Oh no Trevor Francis

The UK's first million pound player. A proper technical footballer, who did well in Italy, unlike most British players of the time.
