The Chapel of Rest

[diable rouge]

Where does it say anything about ''we were fond of'' ?

I think a lot of the posts are people just posting the news that someone has died, regardless of whether they liked them or not...

[malumbu]

I expect most posts are for people you liked or respected, who had done something good in life. I'm not going to trawl through them though.

Gorbachev has died. He was a good man.

Bill Turnball has sadly passed away.

Was a Great BBC presenter who suffered from and died from Prostate Cancer.

RIP Bill

[SpringTime]

Yeah, I can't believe Bill has bought the farm so early. I hated his bland BBC output but the old Etonian knew his stuff on Global. Getting myself checked again.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the secretly funded think-tanks at this difficult time.

No flowers please...

Wilko Johnson's obituary - he helped to shape the music scene in the 70s and 80s, and was a regular visitor to the Ivy House (formerly Newlands Tavern) with his then band Dr Feelgood. For younger readers he was in Game of Thrones. Lucky enough to see him in the Blockheads, his own band and playing with Norman Watt Roy from the Blockheads.
