http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23174052 many of you will have used his invention to reach the link, although less so now we have touch screens etc

"He did not make much money from the mouse because its patent ran out in 1987, before the device became widely used."

Poor sod

RIP Bernie Nolan. :(

Alan Whicker

of 'Nervous Exhaust' as per wikipedia...

Lost in translation methinks ... bronchial pneumonia.

A true TV legend..

RIP Whicker - what an icon and what an amazing array of specs you had.

His passport was as impressive as Judith Chalmers'.

euph?

The 'Glee' actor Cory Monteith has been found dead. He was only 31 :(

Addict, so no real surprise.

Didn't know he was an addict so it surprised me.

Didn't know he existed nor that he was an addict (vague catchall expression meaning nothing)
31 too young to go though
rip Cory

This. I had no idea who he was until he died. Addict does not = dead man walking. He looks to have succumbed to an illness which may not have had to take his life - certainly not so young. RIP.

I knew of his addictions because Lea Michele made an announcement about supporting him through rehab back in April.

I was a huge fan of the first two series of Glee but couldn't take a third. RIP Cory, i have no idea how Lea Michele will get over this. I will be amazed if she returns to film any more episodes of Glee.

She/he will get over it if the money is right.
And it will be right if the ratings say so.

This. She's not exactly going to shut up shop and fuck off back to the Bronx, is she? She's under contract...

Glee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OMG guys - so cynical!*

Adults don't watch Glee, surely?

Can't comment. I've never watched it myself.

OMG guys - so cynical!*

If you do then you're really rather shortsighted.

"@Independent: Glee star's death was not caused by substance abuse, autopsy finds http://t.co/unzWyq6Ufb"

^ Yet "it could take several days before toxicology test results are complete"...

So basically they don't know yet :/
