He was only 55

Shocking news.
Got to meet him in Lahore such a nice guy
Only 55 scares the crap out of us unhealthy oldies

He played for Farnham as a 16 yo and came down to Botley for a National Cup game. We had them in trouble at 50 - 4 chasing 140, but he got 30 odd and won the game with their opener.

10 years later, I was chatting to him after England had won the Barbados Test in 94 and reminded him of the game. He remembered our magnificent teas.

The big C finally got the ayatollahs best mate. 48 years old. Young kids. Just awful.

Fuck Cancer

Very sad…

I’m sorry, but that is a fucking selfish way to top yourself. I have a friend who was a train driver and it really fucked him up.

No idea how a crooner became a much loved part of Star Trek, but he played the role so well.

RIP Vic Fontaine ( James Darren) DS9

We watched all of DS9 bout 6 years ago.
Not seen Time Tunnel since i was hiding behind sofas for Dr Who…

You’re an orphan now Luke

I’ve still never seen it. :frowning::smile:

I saw the original and then tried t’Empire one but got bored.

Had them all on DVD when the nippers were little. Generally read a book or kept a loose eye on them when they watched ‘em . Smart phones and the joys of t’internet weren’t really a thing back then. :roll_eyes:
