[Gooner Girl]

John Motson. A voice instantly recognisable to all I’m sure….

Agreed. R.I.P.

[LeverEnd]

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.

[Worthy4England]

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

[BWFC_Insane]

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.

[Harry Genshaw]

Paul O'Grady's gone over rainbow bridge.

Always came across as a right nice chap. RIP

Seemed a decent bloke, a bit OTT with the tears sometimes for me, still RIP.

[TANGODANCER]

Aye, God bless a humanitarian and genuine animal lover. R.I.P.

[TANGODANCER]

R.I.P Ballroom dance maestro Len Goodman, 78, that's a real shock for me...
RI.P Barry Humphries.

[Montreal Wanderer]

Harry Belafonte - a good man.

" It's all a checker-board of nights and days,
Where destiny with men for pieces plays,
Hither and thither, mates and moves and slays,
Then one by one back in the close lays..."


Omar Khayyam. 12th century Persian poet.

[Worthy4England]

Jer-ry; Jer-ry! Saw Springer the Opera in the West End...RIP

[Montreal Wanderer]

Legendary Canadian singer, Gordon Lightfoot, dead at 84. I'll play his songs today.

[TANGODANCER]

R.I.P. Tina Turner, queen of rock and roll for so long. At what she did, "Simply the Best".

[MattySlug]

REST WITH PEACE THE IRON SHEIK
FOREVER IN MY HEART RESPECT THE IRON SHEIK FOR HE IS THE LEGEND OF THE EARTH WE WILL CHERISH THE WORLD HE MADE FOR US ALL

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.

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]

^^ Yeah. Just all feels a bit needless...

[TANGODANCER]

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.
