I don't think it's wrong or oversentimental to express regret that someone you admire has died, particularly if they've died prematurely, even if you have never met them. You can respect and admire someone you've never met and it's not as if people are demanding national holidays or claiming to be inconsolable, they're just saying "that's sad". It's hardly a sea of flowers at the gates of Kensington palace.

This is a thread for keith floyd. Lets pay him some respect . He was a tremendous presenter and a great character. I always enjoyed his programmes and watching him cook.

Death of famous people is still quite rare and deserve a thread. They soon fall away if noone is interested.

As for a deaths section well noone is going to go there.

It would be more dead than the drawing room.

Id suggest we do less rather than more tampering with the lounge unless we want to deprive it of its range and diversity.

Funnily enough, I was watching "when Keith met Keith last night, which had Keith Allen meeting Floyd. Don't know if it was a hasty addition to the schedule, or if it was meant to be on last night.


Keith Floyd asked Allen if he hated the name Keith.


Allen replied, it's quite cool, you've got Keith Richards, Keith Moon, and yourself. Then you add Cheggers to the mix, and it all goes to shit! (or words to that effect). That is EXACTLY how I've always felt about it!


Anyway, RIP, but not surprising given the way he insisted on living his life, right to the end.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
