I met him, and worked with him (for about an hour) in 2003.
Lovely lovely fella. Still got the Cleethorpes accent after many many years in LA.

Jean Alexander

Bloody hell assumed she was long gone

Legend.

Terrible sporting day. Anthony Foley, one of Irish rugby's greats, drops dead in the Munster team hotel at just 42. Then Trinity Gay, daughter of Tyson and upcoming athlete in her own right, is shot in a crossfire between a couple of gangs in Kentucky. 15 years old. RIP both.

I used to have the Cleethorpes accent but have lost it after many many years in London.

I'm surprised that there is no mention of Dylan Rieder

Twitter is saying that Steve Dillon, artist of 2000AD, Deadline and Preacher, amongst many more, has died.

A hero of my childhood. RIP

Legend and a hero in the comics world. RIP.

Dad's Army will never be off the air now.

Oh wait: it isn't.

and there is a reason for that - you miserable cunt

RIP this guys ^ sense of humour

Touchy!

Not disrespect intended to the recently deceased, but Dad's Army is a product of it's time and is decidedly dated now.

And it's near continuous, prime-time repetition does it no favours.
