Andy Williams the crooner has died of cancer aged 84. His " Music to Watch Girls By" was a song I always liked. Nolic

Actor Herbert Lom has died aged 95. He was in the Peter Sellers Pink Panther films but I liked him as the psychiatrist in The Human Jungle. Nolic

[Tripps]

I liked his performance in Alec Guiness's 'orchestra' in The Ladykillers. He could do sinister very well..

Eric Hobsbawm the eminent historian has died aged 95. "I belong to the generation for whom the October Revolution represented the hope of the world." RIP. Nolic

[Stanley]

Agreed Comrade. He was never frightened of criticism and, unpopular though his views were, presented them without fear and was very influential. He ignored the 'bogeyman' potential of discussing Communism and revolution and looked dispassionately at the evidence. Think of the damage that irrational fear of the 'Red Menace' has done over the last 100 years.

[Tripps]

Or - think of the damage that the Red Menace actually did over the last hundred years. Stalin's purges, and Mao Tse Tung 's great leap forward come to mind.

but what do I know?

[Stanley]

Eric Lomax has died aged 93. Possibly the last survivor of the prisoners who worked under the Japanese on the 'Death Railway'.

[Nolic]

John Connelly of Barrowford, ex Claret, ex United, ex &*%$£""" and ex England winger has dies aged 74. A true footballing legend and a true gentleman. RIP. Nolic

[Stanley]

Was he the bloke that had the chip shop at Brierfield Top?

[Nolic]

That was him. Nolic

[Stanley]

Connelly's Plaice if memory serves.
I see that Pat Jones has died. Until 2003 he ran the vacuum cleaner shop on Rainhall Road and he could always get you that elusive bearing that was going to save buying a new washing machine. A nice man and a useful shop.
