Very likeable and good-humoured. Surprised, thought he was still working and in good health. Maybe that's the best time to go.
RIP Motty.

RIP Motty - it's been a pleasure - some great commentary compared to other football commentators.

Yeah absolutely gutted when I heard this. We are losing some absolutely iconic commentary voices and the ‘new breed’ are utterly dire by comparison.
RIP Motty - for me the best there has ever been. The voice of football for generations.

God bless the souls of the five submariners killed in the current undersea tragedy. Seems tragic in this age of high technology that contact could be completely lost for so long. R.I.P.. all and commiserations to their unfortunate families.

The contact was lost, because the thing imploded under pressure. I'd be stunned if it didn't go bump on the descent when contact was lost. RIP to them, but I really feel for the young lad on board who be family accounts only went to please his Dad. If I make some wings of beeswax and fly close to the sun, there's only so sympathetic I'd expect people to be when they melted.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 12:52 pmGod bless the souls of the five submariners killed in the current undersea tragedy.

It did implode at the time communication was lost. The US Navy submarine defence lsiteners heard it at that time. A more merciful death than running out of oxygen with the temperature dropping. They would have been dead before they knew anything happened.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 3:19 pmThe contact was lost, because the thing imploded under pressure.

This week: Jane Birkin 76. To us dinosaurs (me anyway) best known for the storm in a teacup caused by her record with Serge Gainsbourg, "Je t’aime...moi non plus ( I love you, me neither) whch upset the Vatican with the same magnitude as Frankie Laines "Anwer me, oh my Lord" and Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. All three left me with the same question, Where does the word of God end and the word of man begin?
Anyway, the good lady passed on this week. R.I.P.
