The guy from the Levi's launderette advert has died. He was only 59. Must have been his bad jeans.

Just looking at this article. Sorry to be shallow, but real ugly fuckers, the Rolling Stones. Quite scary as well.

Most bands in the 60s were ugly fuckers. It's almost as if in those days it was the actual music that mattered rather than their look. Thank God we've come so far since then.

Jimmy Greaves was one of those people who I was never quite sure whether he was laready dead or not, as he'd been in the news multiple times for having pretty bad health problems. It was like when Dudley Moore died. Again?

Towards the end of his playing career in the mid to late seventies he was heavily on the booze so its pretty remarkable he made irmt to 81

As mentioned elsewhere the comedy legend Barry Cryer died today.
I recently read his autobiography and he wrote for some legends The Two Ronnie's, Morecombe and Wise, Kenny Everett and even Frankie Howerd, where he wrote a lot of his monologues including his hesitations, repetitions and his seemingly spontaneous digressions.
