The best weatherman there ever was. They don’t make them like that anymore.
Not old Ian…Death has been a real cunt this year…
Bowie, Prince, now McCaskill.
You lot do know that people/celebraties die every year yes? Most of the deaths have been people 70+. 2017 will be the next year to get bad press, you just wait and see!
People die every year??
Shit, you could have broken it to us gently.
2015 list…
cannot believe they put Lemmy right at the bottom, but it is the BBC!
Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s because the list is in chronological order. 
Walter Swinburn, flat jockey. Rode Shergar to a stunning Derby victory in the 1981 Derby - and he was only a lad of nineteen at the time. Can’t say I know a lot about racing or horseys, but it apparently was said of Swinburn that he could have ridden a horse using a silk thread for reins. I liked that.
Michael Nicholson, ITN war reporter, has passes away aged 79.
Dr Henry Heimlich, inventor of the eponymous manoeuvre, has died at the age of 96. What can I say? I’m choked.
You can carry on choking, I just do legs.
Bletch will be here in a minute and you’ll feel his flowery cravat on the back on your neck…
That’s not his cravat.
Yep, and that’s the front and not the back of his neck.
Either way, he’s now properly choking on something.
I was, but it turned out to be far too small to require the Heimlich manoeuvre. I’m fine now. after the very gentlest of coughs.
16 years since Kirsty MacColl was killed.
Sad that her family never had justice.
When I say sad, I mean fucking outrageous.
