@Kurt. so wishes he had come up with that one.

@tommye and I were discussing the funeral, we reckoned there’d be people casually walking past throwing loose change into the grave

A tidy effort but too little, too late.

In my Welsh friend's defense, that was his immediate response at the time of his demise.




He's still a cave bothering Neanderthal though.

Doreen Mantle. Another fine British stock actor.

I'd forgotten about Foot In The Grave. How different it was in atmosphere to any sitcom before it.

One foot in the grave years ago and she's only gone today . . . but let's face it you're gone tomorrow.

Was it that far off 'keeping up appearances'?

Only in so much as it was about folk who were "getting on". It was darker than KUA amidst all the farcical moments.

Robbie Robertson of The Band dead.

R.I.P to a fine songwriter.

He was a great songwriter and a fantastic guitarist, but lots of allegations from his former Band mates that he took far too much credit for collaborative work. Would recommend Levon Helm’s autobiography, shame how they ended.

Loved the scores he did for Scorsese, The Irishman in particular.

RIP JR Robertson

I watched Once Were Brothers. Very interesting.

Garth was the interesting character: a weird genius. The Brian Wilson of The Band.

One of my favourite guitarists. When he blows Clapton away in the Last Waltz and Clapton gives the look that he knows he been done.
