The Dead Thread

Ken Robinson died yesterday from cancer. Hugely influential guy, and his brother (Neil) played for Everton.

Sad to hear, very clever bloke by all accounts

Something a bit fishy with this one Summers

No need to carp on about it mate.

Why, isn't he dead ?

Thats a massive understatement. Globally recognised as a leading progressive educationalist, shared platforms with Presidents and Nobel winners. Crippled by polio as a youngster, and driven by his also crippled father to make the most of his life.

RIP.

The great Walter Lure has succumbed to cancer. A real heartbreaker. Fare thee well, Waldo.

Former bowls champ David Bryant dies at 88. Anyone who remembers the crown green bowling on ITV back in the day will remember him and Tony Allcock.

I had a go at crown green bowling back in the mists of time, not as easy as it looks. Got hammered by blokes who could hardly bend down (insert gratuitous pun.)

I have missed it this year. Great fun, boozy night out with mates. Beaten a few county players over the years and an All England champion.

Joe Ruby, the co-creator of Scooby Doo has died aged 87, I reckon it was the caretaker that did it.
