Such sad news about Ali !

And Mr Benn, such a part of my childhood.

Terence Stamp. aged 87.

Best known probably as General Zod in Superman, I have an appreciation of his Willie Garvin in Modesty Blaise.



Also the Adventure of Queen of the Desert

Ronnie Rondell Jr (88), Hollywood stuntman.

"Who?", you say.

The chap on the right:

Terence Stamp, one of those death notices that have me going,"Wait, I thought he was dead already?"

Much as I loved him as Zod  it was is as Sergeant Troy in Far from The Madding Crowd (Not Fat From The Madding Crowd as the Sky News subtitles suggested)  and as Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert that I will always remember him.

Joe Bugner, boxer.
Graham Greene, First Nations Canadian actor.
Duckess of Kent.

My condolences to the Duck. 

Ooooops ! The 'joys' of having an arm/hand that will not always respond to signals from my brain . Plus of course I should have checked before posting !

Yes I may not understand why people support Trump, but his murder is a heinous act. A young family man cut off in his prime - Tragic.

I would have more sympathy for him if he had shown any concern at the  murder of Democrat  representative Melissa Hortman. Or, if he hadn't tried to organise his followers to bail out the attacker of Nancy Pelosi's husband.

Also:

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Charlie Kirk

Indeed

Given the US right wing has ignored 1000s of child gun deaths. It's hard to care when one of their champions of this policy reaps what they have sown. 

Moderator hat on: 
Please keep politics off the forum gentlemen. A man died. We don't need to go into his views, whether we agree with them or not. Let's leave it there.
Thank you.
Hat off.

What Will said above.

Thanks.

Yes please folks, he was certainly a controversial figure so best not to get into the politics of it here.
