Yeah that is sad, such a snide beauty taken away far too soon.

Philip Gips

Movie poster designer, probably most iconic one being the original Alien poster.

Pretty sure the original poster did not have a spelling mistake though.

Ah, very sad; I'd feared that.

Well, he somehow got to 80 so not too bad.

Ah no, I knew he was in bad health, seemed like it was in the offing. A true legend.

His first ambition was to ride the Tour according to the BBC notice.

I heard him a couple of times at the ICS and his book on the Theaetetus was important (if flawed). RIP.

I never realised that, Clapton is a keen cyclist too!

He only goes as far as the crossroads.

They both got as far as taking loads of drugs. Just the wrong ones.

“You know how the title came about - Disraeli Gears - yeah? We had this Austin Westminster, and Mick Turner was one of the roadies who’d been with me a long time, and he was driving along and Eric (Clapton) was talking about getting a racing bicycle. Mick, driving, went ‘Oh yeah - Disraeli gears!’ meaning derailleur gears... We all just fell over... We said that’s got to be the album title.” Ginger Baker remembering 1967.

source is some web collection of derailleurs tho..

Jordie Lunn

Legend and OG of freeride mountain biking Jordie Lunn.
Shit.

I was watching him only last night, great screen presence... RIP...

Aw man, great actor RIP

This, he stole the show in Jackie Brown. Really subtle performance.

Yeah, it was nice to revisit Jackie Brown last week

Nick Dalton, one of Hull bike polo's finest and a thoroughly decent guy.

Jesus Christ that’s a heartbreaking read. Humbling and I so admire his honesty and openness in sharing that. Fuck.

Yup, very much so.

Indeed. Felt gutted just reading his Facebook post.
