I loved his 'Rune', where I first came across Bryant and May.
Only 69   Too soon.

Haim Topol, 87, of Fiddler on the Roof fame .

[FierceKitty]

Another sad one.

[Heedless Horseman]

Mystic Meg. I am a sceptic... but many lasses that I know used to go for 'readings' from Fortune tellers.
Sad about Topol. Never watched movie but 'Sunrise, Sunset' Great song.

[Steve J]

Fiddler on the Roof is one of our all time favourite films.

I remember him from Private Eye and for the Fosdyke Saga in the Mirror. Only thing in The Mirror worth reading, IMHO.

Bill Tidy

Sad. (But I confess I thought he died some years ago).
Always loved 'The Cloggies: an Everyday Saga in the Life of Clog Dancing Folk.'

Dick Fosbury, the high jumper. I remember we were not allowed to try his technique at school after the Olympics, which was not surprising given we were landing in a sandpit!
