RIPs

I also read he broke his neck as well, when either he or somebody else in feat of strength. I think somebody else was lifting his over his head and he got dropped on his noggin and broke his neck. Had to wear a brace after that. Not sure how he escaped being permanently parylysed.

Sounds a bit fishy to me....

Nope. Completely true.

How did he die, btw?

All I read is that he died!

Cynthia Payne, famed brothel-keeper of the 1970s.

Also, I don't think a link was posted for Warren Mitchell

RIP Warren Mitchell Great actor and Spurs fan.

Sad to hear about Warren passing. Always brought a guffaw to me when I watched his hilarious portrayal of Alf Garnett, getting ripped apart by everyone for his beliefs in each episode.

What, again? He died in April 2014...

Yep. Must be one of those weird 'out of date news suddenly being all over the internet for no good reason' type o' things.

COMMANDO FORCES · 16 November, 2015, 04:00:47 PM

Did he. It came up in my news feed and I followed the link. Wonder how that happened. Ah well, sorry to shock people again!

And film. He played Billy Fish in the wonderful, and personal favourite 'The Man who would be King'.

Farewell Mr Jaffrey.

A friend earlier put up a link to Bill Tarmey (Jack Duckworth) dying and exclaiming that she couldn't believe he had died as she's always been a big fan of his and she was devastated and so on and so on.

He died 3 years ago.
