The RIP thread...

Just read that thread, wow!

Remember reading this article almost a decade ago. Guy certainly had a colourful life (& lots of cocaine I suspect).

That quite the life story!

War criminal Donald Rumsfeld.

One Donald down, one to go.

Kissinger next please

How the fuck is he still alive???

The usual, expensive doctors, deal with Satan, bathing in the blood of children etc.

I assume fear of hell is keeping him clinging on

TIL Henry Kissinger is the same age, to the day, as my grandfather.

I knew Damon in real life.

Really saddened to hear of the untimely death of Belgian cyclocross rider, Jolien Verschueren at the age of 31.

Norman Bright, local cycling enthusiast here in Hackney and race promoter for as long as I can remember. He used to put on Eastern Counties events and I raced many times in them. A regular visitor here at Two Wheels Good until covid, he passed away on June 6th aged 85, following the sudden return of leukaemia, which he fought off a few years ago. He was still riding regularly and took part in the National Track championships a few years ago, and won his class.

He’ll be much missed by all of us, and many more.
RIP Norman.

RIP Norman. I met him a couple of times at public meetings around the Eastway, I think, but in the sense of being in the same room together as opposed to being introduced. A great guy by all accounts, who I'm sure will leave a lot of people scrabbling to pick up where he left off.

Sebastian Eubank (30) boxer and son of Chris Eubank. He became a father himself a month ago which only adds to the tragedy. Reports are that he drowned in Dubai.

Paul Mariner played for Plymouth Argyle, Pompey and the fantastic Ipswich Town side under Bobby Robson. He was also part of the England ‘82 side.

Andy Fordham, darts legend :'(

I really hate this thread.

RIP Andy.
