A friend of the Krays apparently.

more than a friend, seemingly

[Arthur Crabtree]

Makes me wonder what she was thinking.

Joan Collins too.

[Arthur Crabtree]

John le Carre dies at 89. Writer of one of the greatest political novels in English, Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Former British agent. An unusual life.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Gerard Houllier, manager of the Spice Boys Liverpool side at 73. Doesn't feel like he should be that old.

[Durhamfootman]

le Carre, I knew about. While it wasn't really my genre, he seemed to be held in extremely high regard by his peers, which always says a lot

Houllier caught me by surprise. Always seemed like a nice man to me. He showed you didn't need to be a tw@t to be successful in football. I couldn't give a stuff about Liverpool, but that win in Istanbul even had me dancing around the room. Agreed.... it didn't even occur to me that he could be 73

John Edritch 83 and Robin Jackman 75

RIP

[Arthur Crabtree]

Edrich was a standout bat for England in his time. And that's a more than handy average for an opener, 43.5.

Gerry Marsden 78
Tanya Roberts 65

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sheena, with Ms. Roberts in an insubstantial peasant robe always seemed a video store essential back in the eighties.

Gerry, three number ones with first three releases.

[Durhamfootman]

Sheena queen of the jungle

teenage boy staple, I'd imagine

that was the year I got married, so too late for me

I would have been One million years BC/Barbarella fodder

[Arthur Crabtree]

My early glimpses of flesh would be Hammer films. So Kate O'Mara, Ingrid Pitt, Caroline Monro etc.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Tanya Roberts 65

Apparently not.

[Durhamfootman]

one of the more bizarre stories. Clearly she is still very seriously ill.

Colin Bell 74. short illness
