Yeah - when those little critters go, it breaks your heart.



Exactly.

I was just watching a video of young dying oiled birds in the Gulf Of Mexico.
Worthing Bazaar - A fete worse than death

I saw that. Poor little things.

The park I walk past on the way to town has played host to a magpie for the last few months. He's been quite a character - keeps trottign along the flower bed and examining you as you pass where he roosts. I was pretty taken by that - unusual behaviour for one of those critters.

But no more. Because yesterday, I was on my way back from town and found him dead at the foot of the tree he was (I presume) roosting in.

It made me think how so many of the creatures we share our planet with are fascinating and amusing - but lead such short lives. Sad.

Oh that's been dead for years!

Back on track with the death of director Ronald Neame, the man behind the lens on The Pride of Miss Jean Brodie, and more importantly, The Poseidon Adventure.

An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

Gone to the big Timperley in the sky

Oh that is sad.

I'm having a brew in my Timperley Bigshorts F.C. mug in his memory. Who's going to look after Little Frank?



Frank's World

Oh no. Sad. I wasn't well acquainted with Frank Sidebottom's ouevre, but I do have a soft spot for his indie medley of How I Wrote Elastic Man, Take the Skinheads Bowling, Bigmouth Strikes Again and Love Will Tear us Apart.

:(

Wish I could say I ever got to see him perform, but I didn't.
STRIKE !!!

Live in Manchester long enough and it was impossible not to! His last appearance apparently was just round the corner at my old local, where he premièred his world cup song "Three shirts on my line"

That's very sad news. I think I was first introduced to the genius of Frank Sidebottom through his comic strip in OINK!

HdE

I'll never forget his rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Was lucky enough to see Frank a couple of times and bumped into him now and the n on circuit in Manchester. and we played against Timperley Big Shortts a lot in our Sunday league (no, he didn't wear the head while playing).

I got Vic Galloway to play Love will tear us apart as the last song on his BBC Radio Scotland show tonight in tribute.  If you've never heard it, do yourself a favour and use their "listen again" feature.

Very sad news.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!
