Designer John Miles has died aged 92. Designed 'corporate identities' (logos to you and me) for clients like BT and the Post Office. The current Royal Mail identity uses the double-line lettering designed back in the early 70s.

Its the 54th anniversary of Apollo 13's return to earth. As a kid, I was aware of it, never seen any of these TV broadcasts before (featuring James Burke, Patrick Moore & Cliff Michelmore amongst a few others who I don't recognise).

Michael Donovan, conspirator in the Shannon Matthews 'kidnapping', dead aged 54.

The original Guardian story here if you don't want to give the DM more clicks.

Surely he should have used boxing?

I thinks that's what we call a double-play

It was either going to be Yahoo or the Mail! Erskine's also a pick, probably be the same source if there's a QO in the offing.

Dreadful oversight by the five-minute bell-ends!

Thanks for letting me know...

One person said Oganesson...

Kenneth Cope is 93 today. He famously played Marty Hopkirk, the deceased one, in Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). He's not deceased though, Mike Pratt who played Jeff Randall (who wasn't deceased), is.

Good moaning... Vote for Andersin!

So do I. Unfortunately I'm only 43.

Just out of curiosity (knowing it'd probably be beyond my budget if it wasn't already sold out), I looked up ticket prices to see Frank Skinner at the theatre. There were a few available, at £32.96. Why 96p? Why not round it up to £33.00? It's not an isolated case either - the Freddie Mercury tribute tickets are from £29.36; Count Arthur Strong £27.42, Iain Stirling £26.87, plus many more. Who comes up with prices 9and why)?

Andrew Nichol, publisher friend of Alfred Wainwright, largely responsible for bringing Wainwright's walks to the public, has died aged 91. Photo, from the BBC, shows Mr. Nichol climbing to Innominate Tarn, last year. This is where Wainwright's ashes were scattered.
