Anne Heche was taken off life support today.

Anne Heche. Pretty sad, she was very cool

Sadly looks like driving too fast while under the influence which isn’t so cool.

Yeah, that's a fucker, what a guy.

Yes v sad news, leaves a great legacy behind. Watching Boardman in BCN 30 years back started my interest in bikes.

Sad news indeed.

Darius Danesh (Pop Idol)

No shit? He can't have been that old?

Edit: 41

wonder if that has anything to do with that water thing he did

Wolfgang Petersen, director of Das Boot

Already spinning in his grave over the TV series.....

?

Think he got meningitis from drinking water out of the thames for a charity stunt. I was probably a decade ago though

So bloody young. Managed to throw off the shackles of Pop Idol and have a really good career. No one seems to have a bad word to say about him so hope he isn’t just remembered for that awful first audition.
Seems he went into a coma after drinking water from the Thames as part of an advert for a water filter. No one told him it was only a prototype. I bet that was a legal case and a half.

Though that Darius drank from a bottle without a filter in.

Goodbye Q Lazzarus (and your horses)

Unfortunately Scottish XC racer and all round good guy, Rab Wardell, has passed in his sleep from apparent heart failure at 37. This is very close to home for me. He was on Scottish TV last night extolling the virtues of cycling and fitness having won the Scottish XC Championship 2 days ago.

I was lucky enough to have a few small personal interactions with him out on the bikes and he grew up in my home town. Actually saw him and Katie from afar in Morzine last month, he was really starting to get back to his best form and seemed happy with it.

You never know the minute. RIP.
