Alan Minter's been counted out. One of my earliest boxing memories was Marvin Hagler knocking the absolute shite out of him. I had no idea Minter had been talking racist stuff before the fight. Made me appreciate the pasting even more.

Mark E. Smith's ghost ironically sings " And I feel like Alan Minter".

When I was a kid, Shere Hite was always a name mentioned on adult TV programs, and I still have no idea what she did beyond having a name that's a gift to anagrammists and Oxford dons who misalign words' initial letters. Thought it might be something to do with hosiery.

Er what? She lived near or she just knew the place? Coming from that area I cannot fathom how to link that town to such a figure

David Van Day leaves thread disappointed.

Gore-Tex always seemed an unnecessarily violent name, as though it either soaks up blood or sprays it all over other ramblers. But I guess it's no more violent than Al Gore. I used to work near the Gore-Tex factory in Livingston, and there wasn't any blood there either.

Michael Lonsdale has died.

The best baddie in the only Bond film I give a fuck about. A wonderful actor.

Ah he was great with Day of the Jackal. And Variety use that film to headline their report.

Ah baws, I've just realised this is Hugo Drax. Was only watching Moonraker a few weeks back. Cracking film, best Bond and best Bond villain. RIP.

Michael Lonsdale, James Bond villain... when you're aware of the rest of his filmography it's a bit deso

Yes, I suppose it is a bit like those obituaries that contain the words "Harry Potter actor". Or when Alec Guinness encountered young fans telling him they loved him as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Small Man Big Horse

Just seen on the British Comedy Guide that writer George Jeffrie has died all rather sadly, along with his writing partner Bert Tyler-Moore he created The Windsors, which I was very fond with, and apparently also wrote fHarry & Paul, Big Train, That Mitchell And Webb Look, Smack The Pony, Monkey Dust and a fair few others. https://www.comedy.co.uk/people/news/5948/george-jeffrie-rip/

The Culture Bunker

Seems Tommy DeVito, one of the original Four Seasons (the band, not the yearly weather cycle) has shuffled off at the grand old age of 92. Seems the 'vid did for him.

Jackie Stallone

QuoteFor a time, she ran her own psychic hotline, and also claimed to have invented the term "rumpology", which is the art of reading people's futures by reading the lines and crevices of their buttocks.

Interesting.

Ladies, I am a qualified rumpologist. My office is above Kent Kebabs, High Street. Knock loudly as the doorbell isn't working. Rump readings available between 3pm and midnight.
