Wow we were so into that when we were kids. Interesting the range of things an 8 year old can love. Star Wars, Captain Beaky and 2000ad badness.

Shigeru Mizuki. While I know only a limited amount about manga one of the few books from Japan I absolutely admire and love is Shigeru Mizuki's 'Onward Towards our Noble Death'. The writer / artist has passed away at 93.

Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. (Not Velvet Underground as the BBC website says! Fools.)
Shocked but actually not surprised to hear of this.
It was only yesterday that I was listening to Velvet Revolver. I saw them when they released their first album and Scott was a great frontman.

Now thats a tragedy. I have the first volume of his Kitaro series lined up for reading real soon and as you say, 'Onwards Towards our Noble Death' is simply wonderful. RIP indeed and a career well spent.

Might not be so well known amongst the Southern Softies but I assume all the Jocks will be familiar with William McIlvanney and his invention (?citation needed?) of the modern Scottish detective novel.

Nicholas Smith (aka Mr Rumbold from Are You Being Served?) Aged 81. He always looked older than his years.

Been on a bit of a Sopranos trip of late, so sad to hear of the passing of Robert Loggia. Superb as an old school Mafioso.

And Nicholas Smith. Loved Are you being served as a nipper, and still do when catching repeats. I may be wrong, but wasn't he the last surviving member of the main cast?

RIP, fellas.
