I guess he'll now have a red top, for his next away mission...
Farewell, Mr Spock.

Leonard Nimoy RIP
Truly shocked by this I hope you find 'Life Jim, but not as we know it'.
Really, really sad.

RIP indeed - something from my twenties has gone. His last tweet was LLAP.KeyserSoze wrote:Leonard Nimoy. He lived long, and prospered. RIP.

Met him once at Franny Lee's house with Mike Summerbee, Rod Thomas and Rodney Marsh. Polite enough bloke, but he didn't ask for my autograph though.clapton is god wrote:I see Dave Mackay has died:

Didn't really know of him until I read 'The Damned United'
Then realised the affable old geezer who owned and ran the local school uniform and Tie shop round the corner from me was the very same.
Nice bloke. R.I.P.

He's alive, isn't he? I don't think Stoner-Boy's quite got the drift of this thread.Gary the Enfield wrote:a1 wrote:harrison ford doing a matthew harding/nickfarage/buddyholly nearly was one ..

Re: This weeks RIP's........
i do, as i said "nearly was one (an RIP)", nigel farage lived through his too, and i refered to that one even more by 'grading' ford's aircraft accident to farage's rather than buddy holly's and expressed 'gladness' that it was that way round.Bruce Rioja wrote:

i knew he was 'OK' by the time i made the post, hence my star wars 7 spoiler joke (and its a big one, i'm not even that bothered, and its spoiled it for me if true)
star wars is a film from the 1970s that harrison ford was in, he was also in american graffiti which is set in the '60s but is also from the '70s . both were directed by the same dude. he was in blade runner too, thats from the 80s but is set about 4 years from today. so honda will have to get a move on* .
*the last line is a reference to this

Just reading that. Apparently he sold over 85 million books worldwide, yet I don't appear to be familiar with any of them.KeyserSoze wrote:Terry Pratchett

Re: This weeks RIP's........
Wow! The end came mercifully quickly for him then. He was suffering from Alzheimers but when last heard of seemed to have it all together still. I was only thinking recently that he had gone out of the public gaze. I wonder if he intervened in natures own sweet course knowing what was ahead?

Stunned. Was only looking whether he had another book due out a week or so ago...
85 million books worldwide and I've read pretty much all of them (not all 85 million)
Farewell Terry and thanks for all the great work.

I've only read a couple, and I may use the inevitable opportunities that will arise from this to read more, but they were laugh out loud funny.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Big figure in Humanism too.

Funniest one I think I read (and I think I've done all the Discworld ones) was Witches Abroad - heartily recommended if you've not read it yet.Lord Kangana wrote:I've only read a couple, and I may use the inevitable opportunities that will arise from this to read more, but they were laugh out loud funny.
