What the F is Boyzone??? Is that near the Neverland ranch?

     

That certainly has brightened my day!!

Made me laugh when someone on the radio said he was 'a great musician and singer'. Luckily, the next person who spoke said that he was a musician was pushing it a bit. And that he wasn't even the best singer in Boyzone! Who could all sing. Not.

To be fair he had a nice arse.

I did like Duncan's post, which appears to have spawned a number of jokes!

My personal favourite has to be the one comparing Gately to Ayrton Senna (which is probably too tasteless/rude even for me to post without having to ban myself for a week)

I really never heard of Boyzone.    Prob a good thing

There once was a singer called Gately,
Who hasn't been singing much lately.
With a bottle of rum,
And a cock up his bum,
His night out finished quite fatally.

Sir Ludovic Kennedy - journalist, broadcaster, occasional guest star on 'Yes, Prime Minister', aged 89.

Daily Torygraph report

I have a sneaking feeling he may be on George's coupon.

Back of the net!  I'm hopeful of getting a couple more at the death so should finish with at least 6 corpses to my name.

1). Ronnie Biggs
2)  Seve Ballesteros
3)  Wendy Richard   X
4)   Michael Foot
5)   Nancy Reagan
6)  Patrick Swayze X

 Ludovic Kennedy X
9)  Norman Wisdom
10)  Joao Havelange

Can't be arsed to find links but...

Ian Wallace, broadcaster and famous for "The Hippopotamus Song", has died aged 90.

Joseph Wiseman, most famous for playing Dr. No in the film of that name, aged (I think) 93.

Surely time for video technology to be brought in?

David Shepherd, excellent and entertaining cricket umpire, aged 68 (not 111).

Link on BBC website.

Norman Painting who played Phil Archer since 1950 has died aged 85.

He was at Birmingham University with my mother after the war. He saw active service in WW2 so was about three years older than her. She says he was a real nice guy. He once forgot to do an essay on Shakespeare but went to the class anyway and recited his "essay" off a blank sheet of paper. The professor congratulated him on his work and then suggested next time he write it down first. A very nice chap according to her.
