Flags flown at half mast in Liverpool town hall today. I know Knotty Ash very well. Both my girls went to school there.
There’s a good statue of Ken in Lime Street greeting every visitor. He won’t be quickly forgotten.

Sad news about Hawking rip. In many ways he was dealt a terrible hand in life, and so early as well, but he overcome it all and went on to crush quite a respectable amount of puss. Inspiration!

If there is life after death, you would expect his spirit to find a way to communicate with us. It should be easier for him on the Other Side. RIP

There could be a Stannah way to heaven for him though?

You get nothing in this game for two in the dead.
Or something. Doesn’t really work.
Anyhow, Jim Bowen’s gone.

I get the feeling that the Govt are popping off aged celebrities to bury the news about them dropping a bollock over the nerve agent fiasco (& Brexit obvs).
Which well known celebrity will be next…?

About 20 years ago I was on holiday with the family in Centre Parcs. I went off to get some provisions one morning only to be passed the other way by Stephen Hawking rumbling along on his own in his wheelchair. Surreal.
I met Jim Bowen once. He did a ‘turn’ one evening at a tech conference I was at.
Afterwards, he took himself off to a corner whilst we all got pissed. I went over to chat to him with some colleagues and he was a grumpy cunt (and very drunk iirc - well one of us was).
I remember trying to chat with him but he wasn’t interested (I get that a lot) and when I asked him if he had any interesting anecdotes from Bullseye he said "not really, it was just a job*.
Once his ‘act’ had finished he seemed ill at ease in his skin.
Super. Smashing. Dead.
RIP.
