Deepest sympathy, GtE. Hopefully over time you will forget that last sad terrible battle and remember all the good times. I do.

He offered my Mrs a blow on his clarinet, so to speak. She was 23 & he would have been about 50. Dirty bugger.clapton is god wrote:Jazz legend Acker Bilk:

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Darn it, clappers, I hadn't heard. A terrific clarinet player and a decent composer (who can possibly forget 'Stranger on the Shore)? I guess that jazz musos all over the world will be mourning today. RIP 'Acker' and thanks.

Am guessing the funeral was either this week or is next week. Hope it went/goes well GtE.Gary the Enfield wrote:After surviving Breast Cancer three years ago my Mum developed Lung Cancer.

I hate the phrase 'battled Cancer' but she resisted long enough to get out of hospital to die at home, surrounded by family and loved ones (and there are quite a few of us).
Some of the members of this board have been supportive throughout and I wanted to let them know I appreciate it.

Apparently not. Facebook morons and Twatterati getting it wrong again. Allegedly.
Sort of a problem when folks think news is preceded by OMG.

Oh no. Warren Clarke's passed away aged 67. An actor who, in my opinion, never really got the recognition he deserved. RIP

Re: This weeks RIP's........
More a case of RIH than RIP but I see that 'Mad' Frankie Fraser's snuffed it. Perhaps had someone sat him down and talked to him he wouldn't have gone around pulling peoples teeth out with pliers or cutting them open with razor blades. Afterall, there's no such a thing as evil people.

Hell might be the afterlife's version of Dartmoor, but I think he belongs in its version of Broadmoor. I can't understand why he became such a celebrity and profited from career of crime.Bruce Rioja wrote:More a case of RIH than RIP but I see that 'Mad' Frankie Fraser's snuffed it.

Ah, don't forget Monty those were the good old days of gentleman gangsters Most of the b*ggers would have hung if we hadn't gone soft on them.Montreal Wanderer wrote:Hell might be the afterlife's version of Dartmoor, but I think he belongs in its version of Broadmoor.
