RIPs

[Orlok]

Peter Falk???
Oh, that's upset me for the rest of the day now.

[Dandontdare]

I want confirmation that Grant Goggans is still alive -he had that profile pic for so long I tend to think of them as the same person!

[Emp]

Peter Falk......guess that 1 last question will have to wait...

[Grant Goggans]

I'm still here.  Bummed, but still here.

[Richmond Clements]

Bummed

It's not all bad, then!

[Adrian Bamforth]

Oh dear, let me send my dearest commiserations to his family. Er, has anyone got a pencil?

[JOE SOAP]

I'm still here.  Bummed, but still here.

Bummed

It's not all bad, then!

ah...prison life.

[HdE]

Well, that's your definition of a double whammy right there.

I knew Peter Falk was getting on in years, and hadn't enjoyed good health, but it was still a shock to hear he's gone.

And Gene Colan... that upsets me in ways I can't articulate.

[JOE SOAP]

A Falkin' shame.

[The Legendary Shark]

Really sad to hear about Peter Falk. I grew up with Columbo and still enjoy watching it today.

Now that he's gone, I dread Hollywood shoving someone like Rich Hall* in a shabby Mac and re-imagining the whole thing.

*Actually, thinking about it, Rich Hall probably wouldn't be so bad - but they'll probably use Owen Wazzock Wilson, Ben Bloody Stiller or some talentless flavour of the month nobody.

Just found out today that  Seth putnam from anal cunt died of a heart attack earlier in the month

[Greg M.]

Ah, Seth... responsible for the best song titles ever written. My favourites included 'Living Colour Is My Favourite Black Metal Band', 'I Liked Earache Better When Dig Answered The Phone', and 'Benchpressing Effects On Kevin Sharp's Vocals'. And of course 'No, We Don't Want to Do a Split Seven Inch With Your Stupid Fucking Band'. What a guy.

[JOE SOAP]

We'll always have that infamous sex/drugs/rock 'n roll photo to remember him by...of which I will not post a link to.

In related news, from today's Mail on Sunday:

"'There's no reason to join West Oxfordshire Conservative Association. Lots of reasons not to... collectively we are not always an appealing proposition... Over the years we have come across as graceless, voracious, crass, always on the take... people don't join because they think we'll beg and steal from them. And they're right."

- Christopher Shale, chairman of West Oxfordshire Conservative Association (fundraising strategy document).
