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.

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.

Some of the members of this board have been supportive throughout and I wanted to let them know I appreciate it.

Am guessing the funeral was either this week or is next week. Hope it went/goes well GtE.

It seems the pizza-themed indie rock genre lives on.

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

Aye, very sad news. He was due to be in a re-make of Poldark being made for 2015.

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. :roll:

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.

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.
