Cramps Singer Lux Interior Dead At 62

Bloody hell. That's a real shame. Because he looked like he'd died about 30 years ago, there was always that feeling that he'd go on forever. I'll sadly have to remove The Cramps from my list of bands to see if I ever get the chance. :(

Miserable harridan Wendy Richard.

i thought she already was

Poor old Wendy Richard (not 'Richards' as stated on the BBC subtitles in the  gym) to be forever remembered as 'Pauline from the laundrette' by many. To me she'll always be the lovely Miss Brahms who made even that brown uniform sexy. She was also in Carry on Girls and had a number one single - good effort!

To me she'll always be the lovely Miss Brahms who made even that brown uniform sexy.

Ditto, one of my very earliest crushes was cheeky Miss Brahms... along with Sugar Kane Kowalczyck, Calamity Jane and errr Floella Benjamin.

Incidentally, Pauline Fowler's descent into horrid lonely shrewishness so closely echoed the personality of her own mother, the dreaded Lou Beale, that it was actually kind of brilliant.  Richard was quite correct not to allow Pauline to remarry.

And I know her politics stank, but I wasn't voting for her.

She'll always be Miss Brahms to me.
Happy memories from childhood when TV was worth watching.

At only fifty-nine and still running the London Snickers, Floella shouldn't be crossing the finishing line on this thread any time soon.

...Floella shouldn't be crossing the finishing line on this thread any time soon.

I should hope not!  I hate this bloody thread and its catalogue of the inevitable, but I can't stay away.

Ah Floella. She's appeared in The Sarah Jane Adventures, don't you know.

Randy Bewley, guitarist for the seminal Athens band Pylon, died yesterday at age 53.

Pylon was the first band I saw when I moved to Athens in 1989, reopening the Georgia Theatre.

Kelly Groucutt, bass player with ELO, died last week aged 63 from a heart attack.

It's bloody never ending isn't it?

I will always remember Wendy Richards from when she got her jugs out in one of the carry on films, cant remember which at the mo.

And, uh . . . Run, Fatboy, Run.

Think you might be thinking of another Eastend matriarch there, vzzbux.  I've heard rumours she had an unclad role in A Cockwork Orange, but if she did I never noticed her.
