Shame about Beryl Cook. You've got to feel for anyone who spends their life labouring under the misapprehension that Plymouth is a great city.
Moving on, there are very few people left alive who use an iron lung. Now there is one less, following a power cut in Boston, which killed Dianne Odell, 61, who had relied on the machine since she was 3 years old.

58 years in a metal box, the rest of eternity in a wooden one. Still, she sounds like she made more of her life than many of us.

Thanks BCAlum, I was just seeing if it had been reported on the web after I had my dinner.
I'm surprised that Dom DeLuise is still alive, I thought he would have beaten Korman to it

Click on the link, she had a better telly than half of us posting on here. Has anyone got first dibs on it or can I offer the family a few quid?
Oh aye, and another link for Harvey Korman.
Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

The Curse of Gene Wilder...... 
Derby Dead Pool showrunner...
"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."
David Bowie - We Are The Dead (1974)

Aye, hefty article in today's Observer on the young man. Also a lengthy article on psychotherapist RD Laing and his - often - f**ked up kids, mentioning the fact that his son Adam died recently.
