Tributes To Celebs That Pass

[Old Darwen Blue]

Yes just noticed this myself and mentioned it in the news thread prior to seeing this. He seemed to make the natural world so easy for children to understand. RIP

Also apparently toured with The Beatles RIP

Rest in peace Neil Peart, one of the best drummers ever. If you've never heard of him go google.

 

[Smells Like Kean Spirit]

Not sure this is the right thread, but I guess Roger Scruton was a "celeb" in certain circles. He will probably be remembered as the greatest thinker Britain produced in the 20th century: https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2020/01/roger-scruton-a-man-who-seemed-bigger-than-the-age/

 

[Drog]

Probably a much greater life and legacy than anyone on this thread. Reading that (and following a link) reminds me of the old adage SL
KS..... "Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience".

Funny how even though they are all between 77 and 81 that these people still don't seem 'proper old' to us isn't it? They've done well for 5 out of the original 6 pythons lasting until today. (Graham Chapman the only one to check out early)
Lots of nice tributes and especially from the frothy showbiz types but tbh after suffering dementia for four years at 77 it's prob for the best.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

RIP Mr Jones

Nicholas Parsons has died aged 96.
My earliest memories of him are Sale of the Century, which was prime viewing on a weekend when I was a lad.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

I must admit I thought he had passed ages ago! RIP Mr Parsons you brought pleasure to many. Was he not a fighter pilot in the war, ill do some research?

Kirk Douglas has died aged 103

Kirk Douglas, Hollywood legend, dies at 103

The Spartacus actor, one of the great stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, has died aged 103.

That's one to note, not one to grieve.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

How come, what’s he done wrong?

 

[Drog]

Nothing to the best of my knowledge that most handsome Hollywood actors didn't do at that time, but at 103 it's time to go isn't it? His funeral shouldn't be sad but rather should be a celebration.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Ah, thought you had something juicy to tell.

 

[CLW-BRFC]

RIP Danny Ayres
Speedway. I was really sad when i found out about this a week ago. He never got over the loss of his Mum. I lost mine just over a year ago. I can relate to everything he said in his interviews before he did what he did. Speedway is a great Sport. So down to earth people involved in it.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Mental Health is the biggest killer that exists, far more than from any kind of drug whether it be alcohol, smoking or whatever. I think that as a society we are only just coming to terms with that fact and I would hope future generations would recognise this. We are taking baby steps when addressing this issue thankfully.

RIP Caroline Flack.

 

[MegaManToo]

Ah, thought you had something juicy to tell.

About Spurtycus and Zeta Jones? On the motorized chariot.
