Oh. For a brief second I thought that read Floyd Kermode.

Bill Millin, the D-Day piper.

Crikey! magazine, which was devoted to UK comics of yesteryear

It was a great read, I'm sad to see it go 

[SmallBlueThing]

Re Crikey, it never recovered from the Borders collapse, did it? Even my local newsie, which had managed to get the issue that was sold through borders, completely failed to get me any more after that. A real shame.

Shame about Crikey - it was kinda like my Radio 6 - I didn't actually get it myself, but I was really glad it was out there.

[James Stacey]

Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens

[HdE]

Satoshi Kon, anime industry figure responsible for the movies Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers and paprika, and the TV show Paranoia Agent.

Pancreatic cancer. He was just 47.

[I, Cosh]

Laurent Fignon, winner of the Tour de France in 1983 and 84 has died of cancer at the age of 50. I just read his autobiography last week (an infuriating, entertaining read) and I didn't even know he was ill.

[Kerrin]

Sad news. I was surprised to hear of his passing as well Cosh. 50 is far too young.

[ThryllSeekyr]

Mike Edwards the founding member of ELO killed in freak accident as giant runaway hay bale smashes into his van.

His music was very familar to me.

[Something Fishy]

That freaked me a bit as i drove past some bails up there the other day and commented to my wife how high they were and i wouldn't fancy one of them falling on me.

Poor guy. RIP.
