Greg Allmann.

Of the Allman Brothers. General nice guy, talented and influential musician, and one time husband of Cher. Fat lot of good it did him, still dead at 69.


Yes, I know a lot of you won't have heard of him, but I haven't heard of of other people who die.

I think we know that after many years of before and then one final taxation, that in the fate that awaits us all. ::) ::) ::) Our brains are not geared up to think about it on a daily basis, where we are all naturally positive. :y :y :y

The art of living is having a thoroughly enjoyable life, through good and bad times, while you put as many notches in your 'birthday post' as possible. :y :y :y

Another notch in Gixer's, Jimbob's and my 'birthday post' on the same day next month. I hope I live as long as, the oldest man on the planet, 160yo Lord Opti as I will only be 100 years behind him. 8) 8) 8)

Agreed  :y

That young lad has known pretty much nothing but suffering all his life but still managed to smile and leave a legacy (not counting the money raised for cancer)  of happy memories for the people who knew him.

Also a big pat on the back for Jermaine Defoe who has put so much time into making little Brads life a little happier over the last few months.
I work with a few lads from the north east on a regular basis and one short arsed, smoggy bastard lad's sister is friends (real life / not Facebook) with Brads mother.
Lets just say the press has only reported a fraction of what Jermain has done for that lad and his family  ;)

Hmmm, not sure. Problem is that most current presenters are just so damned boring. Read the script, read the autocue, toe the line . . . . . Brucie could do it off the cuff, or if it wasn't off the cuff, he was really good at making it look like it was. I still recall Sunday Night At The London Palladium with fond memories., and that's not like me.

Good. I like cantankerous. I love it when an old guy exposes an inept interviewer who's just churning out mundane questions. He did actually make me laugh back in the day.

Thing is, if a 70/80/90 year old man is in bed with a young woman, does it not make him feel bad and a bit creepy to know that she is probably feeling sick to her stomach at being there, but is willing to sell her dignity for his money / power/ influence ?
The biggest part of the thrill is in the chase (as far as I remember from all those years ago  ;D) and someone in his position lost that a long time ago.
Ive read stories where he would take rich / famous buddies to the mansion and tell them to take a look around at the girls, who were there like livestock in a cattle market, and pick out whichever one they wanted for the night.
I'm not remotely prudish, far from it, but that makes my skin crawl a little bit.

Couldn't agree more Albs . I'd argue all day that the seventies was the best music decade .....ever . I'm buying a lot of cd's off Ebay ( Music Magpie ) replacing all my vinyl and returning to these artists from that era and listening to their lyrics,chord structures and harmonies just highlights the total absence of musical depth most ,if not all, have today.

Mid 60,s to mid 70,s for me. After the mid 70,s very few people of interest came along. SRV, John Mayer, and that's all I can think of.
Before that there were countless artists / bands who were enormously creative, and masters of their craft.
The creativity died and the corporations took over, everything became bland and derivative, and eventually we ended up with an industry, which is run by people like Simon Cowell.

Don't think all the blame can be set against "corporations" ,,, when I were a "yoof" there were folk clubs, jazz clubs, R&B clubs, even things called "youth clubs" where aspiring musicians could try things out and/or learn their craft, as well as listen to a very wide range of music. All these places have no gone, so just where do the young of today learn to be creative or try things out ?? even if they wished to?? in their place we have youtube/twitter/spotify etc etc etc.... all prepackaged because thats what todays youth WANT

Yep, and remember the days when us teenagers where being shoveled what the adults of the time (1950s) wanted, nothing we we could identify with.  Then, bang, it happened from the late 1950's; music for teenagers by teenagers, or at least those in their early twenties.  Before it had been Bing Crosby, Sinatra, Como, etc., then it was Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis, Holly, and THE BEATLES!! :-* :-* :-* :-*

No longer could adults tell us teenagers what to listen to, with our own (pirate) radio stations, Luxembourg, then Radio 1.  Now that trend is still there; the kids like what they like and it is a mistake if anyone too old tries to tell them what to listen too.  Even Simon Cowell must now watch his aging step!  He will soon be a dinosaur as the kids lock on to something else; the next music revolution 8) 8) 8) ;)

Your kind of proving my point Nige. In the early days of pop / rock music, to be successful you had to start in youth clubs, coffee bars, pubs, etc. cutting your teeth and learning your craft on the job.
Now, you would probably attend a stage school, where any creative talent you may have will be drummed out of you, then do an audition for X factor or similar, bypassing all those stages where craft is learned, and the wheat usually got sorted from the chaff along the way.
I don't think its like this because todays yoof want it. Todays yoof don't know what it was like previously, and if they did, I'm sure they would want that instead.
Even more serious minded musicians don't follow the old routes these days, partially because, as you say, the small venues aren't there in great numbers any more.
Instead they will learn how to produce their own albums via their computer, at home, and then release it on the internet.
Nothing wrong with that in itself I suppose, but I wonder what happens when they become a bit of an internet sensation, and then have to start performing at gigs.
Even the big stars of yesteryear disappoint me now. They usually play the O2, because it has a lot of seats to put bums on at £100+ per seat, and thousands of people sit in this soulless place watching the artist on the screens at the side of the stage, because they are so far away they are too small to see.
The audiences applaud politely at the end of each song, until its time to go home. It aint a rock concert like I remember rock concerts.
Almost every memorable gig Ive been to has been at a small (1500 max.) venue.
The only exception being Roger Waters at the O2, as he seemed to have worked out how to make the place feel small.

Sorry, but it's really not as bad as that. Yes, there are the manufactured acts, and the "instant fame" routes like Arsefactor etc, but there are still small venues, there are still bunches of guys with guitars and drums driving around in crap vans. I know this, as I go to see them, and when I go to see them I feel like someones grandad! My son plays 
in a small band in London in his spare time, my daughters partner sings in a band on the South Coast in his spare time. Even where I live and in Swansea there are small venues where a band can get a 40 minute slot for beer money, and to flog their CDs burned on their computer at home.

Nope. Good music is good music, whether its from the 17th century or the 21st. It just seems very difficult to find it in the 21st.
Who in the 21st century, even with all its technology can play guitar like Hendrix did in the 60,s ? By now someone should have taken the instrument on to greater levels of creativity than he did,but they haven't. Few can even properly replicate what he did then.
Every new boy band who storms the charts for a year or two are compared to the Beatles, never the boyband who stormed the charts a year or two before them.
Where is there a new songwriter who could hold a candle to Dylan, Neil Young or Randy Newman ?  ? Ed (the plagiarist) Sheeran  ?  ::)

yes most acts nowadays are just throwaway items. im talking my era here but where are the new freddie mercurys,steve perrys or lou gramms.they wouldnt even be considered these days let alone going back to sinatra,matt monroe etc. i go to places today where they have the radio on and it just seems like 1 song all day long. cannot tell where one song ends and another one starts.so bland.i know its a similar feeling for all generations vs their parents throughout the ages but im glad i grew up when i did

Too true! :y :y :y

After the 1980's, by then I had been through the music of the late 50's, 60's and 70's, the appeal of what was available seemed to have nose dived.  Glad I was born when I was ;)

Like many on here it seems I grew up with parents listening to the likes of Mario Lanza etc,they then moved on to Tom Jones,Engebert Humperdink and such,then one day a record was played on the radio and dad said "Now there's a good song well sung" I was gobsmacked it was a song called Bohemian Rhapsody!! Personally I like Mozart,Wagner etc right through to such as Pink today.Two music genres I can't get on with are rap [talking to a background of noise]and jazz[several people playing different instruments at the same time without any of them noticing what tune the rest are playing].

Human themes (experiences, emotions, hopes and fears) are unchanged since the dawn of time. The only thing which changes is how those themes are presented.

Reflect on this a while and revisit other artistic eras outside your own. Then it will all make sense ;)

The celebrity chef and restaurant owner Antonia Carluccio, aged 80

It's not that long since he was on TV. I've been to some of his restaurants, a bit hit or miss. Sometime really really good, other time really disappointing. However, the restaurants tried to provide decent Italian cooking and not just pizza at sensible prices. But, he was always quite entertaining on TV.

Anyone remember the Profumo Affair ? I have to say I was too young to really know what it was all about.

Strange bloke, and to be honest he's looked half dead for many years now. However The Fall were very distinctive, I saw them a couple of times and thought they were pretty good in a strange sort of way.

Funny you should say that. A very rich Christian preacher once told me that in ancient times in the middle east there was a very dangerous mountain track known as the needle, which was the most difficult place anyone could ride their camel. It wasn't impossible to get through, but required a lot of wisdom and experience.

Perhaps a bit of casual research before you opine on another person’s life.   >:(

Parking the inspirational affect he has had on generations of young athletes (although no doubt you would classify their efforts as similarly pointless), he was also a renowned neurologist, publishing a number of papers, a hospital trustee, editor of a medical textbook, and by all accounts a loved family man.

To look at it another way, the longer they live, the longer that they have to carry the burden of what they have witnessed/facilitated/been party too...

If all the staff across the Reich who didn't agree with their roles had made a stand, then their numbers would have been added to the total of those killed. Those who could, ran away, the rest simply focused on their immediate duties as a form of self defense.

There's a 2015 film called Amnesia which explores this idea.

Ah....I see. The girls would deliver the Spitfire for the men to fly.

Yes.  She delivered no less than 400 Spitfires, and 76 other types of aircraft including Wellington bombers.  To do that in unarmed planes with the Luftwaffe always ready to pounce was probably the bravest acts of all those who flew in WW2.  A real women who made all the difference and set the scene for women flying fast jets, the top rated fighters of today.

Amy Johnson was also one of those brave women of the ATA, but that famous flyer died in 1941 somewhere in the Thames Estuary whilst flying a Spitfire, demonstrating what a dangerous job it was that she, Mary Ellis, and all the other ATA women undertook to keep the brave men attacking the Luftwaffe.

He was shot down over Hanoi.  ::)

But it was his time as a POW that he was known for in the Vietnam context, as he was beaten, tortured, spent years in solitary confinement and when he was offered early release when the North Vietnamese discovered his Father a US Navy Admiral, he refused insisting that others who were captured before him be released instead.  :o

RIP.

 Some on here may know of him, Steve Bunney.
He was one of the founders of Autobahnstormers.
Steve died last from cancer last night.
A wealth of knowledge of the pre 1987 cars.
Steve had his second Bitter and multiple Monza,s in his time
He used to be the club magazine editor for several years
In recent times he was the web site administrator
he will be missed by many over at ABS

There's a similar 'expert' here who used to buy cheap but viable Capris and store them.  10 years later he has 50 cars that weren't worth repairing then(most of them were rotten low spec 4cylinder cars), and have been abandoned in a field since. He won't break or sell any parts or restore the few more covetable models because he has no skills or money to do so. Because he's a Capri enthusiast, and these are 'classic cars'

I owned a 1974 MK1 1600XL. It was white with a BVR which was popular back then.

It drove like a  lorry but when the cambelt snapped it didn't take the engine with it. :y :y :y

The there was something wrong with it.


Pintos aren't really known for cambelt failures, but only the 2.0l are non-interference. 1.6s might be OK if the belt fails at low RPM. And you can fit a new belt at the side of the road in 30minutes :y

I'm 65 in a couple of weeks currently the oldest serving officer on my specialist unit, took partial retirement at 60 & love it providing I can keep my fitness levels at their present standard & pass my self defence refresher every year I intend staying till 2022 but as we all know the grim reaper has his list & you cannot alter your place in the queue.😀

He always gets his man. ;)

Not always.  He came and had a look at me a few years ago, but whether he missed with the scythe or decided not to swing it I don't know.  :-\

I'm still here to tell the tale which is what counts!  :y

He'll be back. :)

Yep, but having met the Grim Reaper I know he's nothing to worry about.  :y

The police nor the BBC can possibly know that for certain until they investigate further.  He was in her bedroom, so he could have been a burglar, or someone known to her. I hope the police establish soon who the person is in the CCTV footage they have.

But even an image like that being published does help to identify who it could not be, and gives those who may know this individual, and has had dealings with him or her, an encouragement to get in touch with the police.  Often by process the individual meets justice, especially in this case that has stirred up much local emotion.  That makes a big difference.

We hope the police have answers soon. ;)

Lizzie, that clip does not show the true nature of the incident, if you wish to search there are "better" :( clips that do.......

Essentially, Hubert, at 170mph, goes off track to the right and hits the right hand barrier, bounces off it and comes back across the track at 90 degrees.

Correa is on the track and suddenly has a car crossing him at 90 degrees, and can do nothing about it.

Correa is doing around 170mph, Hubert has no speed in the same forward vector, all his speed is at 90 degrees to Correa, so its like sitting in a stationary car and being hit at 170mph... result .. the carnage you see.

Even if he had been in a "cage" the resultant "G" forces on his body would be horrendous and probably fatal. Correa probably only survived because his forward "vector" meant that the "G" forces were somewhat reduced...... essentially he slowed down in the same line (very quickly admittedly) but Hubert was "wrenched" through 90 degrees almost instantly.

Racing is dangerous ..... never, ever, forget it .. :(

RIP, a brave young man.

Correa is doing around 170mph, Hubert has no speed in the same forward vector, all his speed is at 90 degrees to Correa, so its like sitting in a stationary car and being hit at 170mph... result .. the carnage you see.

Even if he had been in a "cage" the resultant "G" forces on his body would be horrendous and probably fatal. Correa probably only survived because his forward "vector" meant that the "G" forces were somewhat reduced...... essentially he slowed down in the same line (very quickly admittedly) but Hubert was "wrenched" through 90 degrees almost instantly.

Racing is dangerous ..... never, ever, forget it .. :(

RIP, a brave young man.

No thanks, that is bad enough! :o :o ;)

Yes, those boys, and girls, know the dangers :'( ;)

Cages are no longer in use in single seaters. The car is built around an immensely strong carbon fibre tub, which the driver sits in.
This has ben the case since McClaren introduced the idea in the 80,s. No doubt it has saved many lives since, but there are limits to any safety device and yesterdays accident was one of those.
It happened up at the top of Eau Rouge where speeds are mind boggling. Watch the F1 race in just over an hours time and see just what kind of speeds are involved at that part of the track.
They know and accept the risks, but its always sad to see this happen. Particularly to one so young. RIP.

Having seen the aftermath, doing the same thing to a road car at motorway speeds is enough to nearly split it in two.  :'(

Ah, right.  I am out of date as usual. ::) ::)

I was also thinking of the Halo "cage", but now realise after some research that it is nothing like I envisaged as it just protects the head in F1 crashes! :o :y

The clip you linked to seems to show the "tub" of one car remaining basically intact, with everything else breaking off around it, just as designed.. the bits absorb energy then break off. thus protecting the "tub". The other "tub" is not in the shot so nothing can be said about its integrity.

The upside down "tub" of Correa slides along on the halo device, which probably saved his life.

10 years ago that would, most certainly, have been two fatalities.  :(

Andrew Cowan. A true legend.

                             Cowan, who passed away in hospital on Tuesday, headed Mitsubishi Ralliart Europe and guided Tommi Mäkinen to four consecutive WRC drivers’ titles from 1986 to 1999. The team also won the manufacturers’ crown in 1998.
He was born in 1936 and raised in the small town of Duns in Scotland’s Borders region, where he became close friends with future Formula 1 world champion Jim Clark.
After becoming involved with his local motor club, Cowan started rallying and in 1962 he won the Scottish Rally in a Sunbeam Rapier, an achievement he regarded as one of his greatest in motorsport. He repeated his victory the following year.
He became a works driver with the Rootes Group and Mitsubishi and arguably his greatest wins as a driver were in the London to Sydney Marathons.
Cowan won the 1968 event, which covered almost 17,000km in Europe and Australia, in a Hillman Hunter alongside Colin Malkin and Brian Coyle. He repeated his success in 1977, over a 30,000km route with Malkin and Mike Broad in a Mercedes-Benz 280E.
He won Australia’s Southern Cross Rallies five times between 1972 and 1976 and the world’s longest rally, the 32,000km South American Marathon in 1978. He finished Kenya’s gruelling Safari Rally in the top four on four occasions and was second in the Paris - Dakar Rally in 1985.

The Opel GT was  a 'mini exotic' back in the day. I have a road test from 1971. It cost £2294. A triumph GT6 could be had for £1272. Rover 2000 was £1675.

I think when established authors start using other ghost writers to collaborate on their later books it seems, to me anyway, that it waters them down somewhat. Clancy,s later stuff springs to mind too. I've read a few of Cusslers books and have found them entertaining Nick.  :y

also Zef Eisenberg Speed record holder died attempting another record.

My goodness, I thought he died ages ago.  Good actor of Z Cars and Softly Softly fame amoungst many other shows.

RIP  :'( :'( :'(

used to enjoy Softly Softly. RIP
92 years old , that's a decent innings , Z cars and softly softly seem a very long time ago ( sadly nearly everything does nowadays ) :(  what time is nationwide on these days ?

I remember his sidekick, Inspector Barlow.

Oh yes, his boss played by the great Stratford Johns :y :y

Remarkable, and so unexpected. I didn't even think he was that old.

Some great rock albums. I do prefer those with Sammy Hagar though.

Don,t laugh, the poor sod who lives next door has it. Not nice to see.
So does my Dad, and his Dad, therefore probably so will I.  Which is why I'm trying to get another track day car together while I still can.

He was on Storage Wars, but then you don't have a telly, so you wouldn't have heard of that...  ::) His family obviously didn't give two shits either as he was missing for two weeks before anyone thought to check his house :-X

Whilst it might not have been a significant passing in the grand scheme of things, I saw it listed in a news feed and thought it worthy of mention, seeing as it's what the thread is about.

I cant believe it either. A bit of a hero of mine for many years. An incredible player. About 15 years ago I stood 3 feet from him in a tiny venue, mesmerised by his skill for two short hours.
He came from Dundonald, East Belfast, as do I. He was left handed but played guitar right handed, as do I. He was a hugely gifted musician - and unfortunately for me thats where the similarities end.

How very,very  sad.
I was only watching some old BTTC videos last week that he commentated on and thought how much more entertaining he was than the later ones were, I laughed out loud at some of his spontaneous comments.
I read his autobiography several years ago and still have it so will revisit his life story.
Murray was one of , if not the , most enthusiastic motor racing commentators I ever had the pleasure to listen to and I have missed his acerbic narration in recent years.
Another Icon from my life gone.

Despite what your personal thoughts are on a particular person, a human being is a human being unless they have committed atrocities.

To say "Hardly worth mentioning" is completely disrespectful.

She actually wrote a couple of books about her constant battle with anorexia.

If being a 'celebrity' helped shed some light on the subject and either thing helped just one other person with their struggle, then that's a good thing.

Even if you disagree with the celebrity aspect, you can't knock her for trying to achieve summat.

I could write something derogatory about self centered arseholes, but instead I would suggest that you should judge people on their achievements rather than your opinion.

His DNA was from the Royal Families of Europe, making him more "Royal" than the Queen, he was a war time Royal Navy commander, who understood discipline and honour, who then went on to loyally support our Queen and our Nation.  But he could relate to the common people, and as we have heard repeatedly, he communicated with then so well, often making others laugh, but always being his own man.

Yes, he is the last of a very special generation and, as already rightly said, we will not see his like again :'( :'( :'(

She actually wrote a couple of books about her constant battle with anorexia.

If being a 'celebrity' helped shed some light on the subject and either thing helped just one other person with their struggle, then that's a good thing.

Even if you disagree with the celebrity aspect, you can't knock her for trying to achieve summat.

I could write something derogatory about self centered arseholes, but instead I would suggest that you should judge people on their achievements rather than your opinion.


Do you honestly think I would listen to any of your utter garbage & constant picking at people's opinions ? It really is about time you took a good look at yourself. Reality " stars" not in my book only my opinion of course.😂😂😂

Yes, she was a real political, and highly intelligent, determined woman who I certainly respected if not supporting her parties, either Labour or as a founder, Gang of Four, Lib Dem.

I remember that incident well back home in Scotland . IIRC It was a 308 Boss Ford Mustang and he literally ran over an elderly woman on the Costorphine Road and killed her  . He had been warned prior to that by the Police about his driving and after being questioned he quickly  left Edinburgh to go back on tour showing little or no remorse for what had occured. He was convicted of the lesser charge of reckless driving although had been charged with dangerous driving . There was quite a lot of bad feeling about it in Scotland .

Not quite that simple. NOTW couldnt prove the Nazi bit beyond all doubt, and he being a clever lawyer had them for breakfast.
Its well known though that as part of his fathers Blackshirts movement in London he took part in fascist marches and distributed leaflets
which told people not to allow black people into their areas as they brought diseases with them when they came into the country.
Probably to be expected when you consider that Hitler was a guest at his parents wedding.
He then reinvented himself as the legal brain behind Ecclestone turning F1 from a sport into the billion dollar circus it became when they took control of it.
More recently he ploughed a lot of his millions into trying to get rid of the free press in Britain, aided by useful idiots like Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan.
An odious character imo, who will be no loss to anyone.  :)

Not at all. Im all for most of the safety improvements.  :y
The nature of the cars - aerodynamics, electronics etc. etc. and the sterile nature of most of the circuits, plus big business and its billions, have robbed F1 of its soul and most of its excitement.
And every time they change the rules to improve things, they make it worse.
The ultra high level of Professionalism has sterilised it to the point where passionate enthusiasts like Frank Williams wouldnt stand a chance of starting a team now, and really great drivers who drove with passion and the seat of their pants (Gilles Villeneuve, Ronnie Peterson for example) wouldnt be allowed within a mile of an F1 car now.
Both the above btw, were killed in horrible accidents, that they would almost certainly have walked away from in a modern car.
Safety could have been brought into F1 without completely ruining it imo.

F1 suffers from the same problem as any other top-level sport. There is so much money involved that the sport, the bit that brings in the money, moves further and further down the priorities.


F1's particular motor sport problems are that single seater racecars are all so similar, and that it's so fast that there's little point in watching it live. The first problem doesn't just apply to each race, but the classes too. There isn't enough visual difference between each formula to justify watching them. The second is solved by television, and that's where the money comes in.


F1's horrific attitude to safety throughout the 70's should have killed it, not so many drivers. And that is the money at work.

The one thing that was really great about F1 in the 70,s was that most of the teams used exactly the same engine. The Cosworth DFV, which  iirc cost approx. £25,000 each at the time.
Aerodynamics were pretty crude and electronics only went as far as the igntion and injection systems, so good engineers could build a chassis and set up the suspension well. Then employ a quick driver, and have a chance of doing well.
Top teams would spend 2 or 3 million quid a season. Back of the grid teams got by on 1 million.
Ferrari had their own superb V12 or flat 12 engines, as did Alfa, but they were usually crap at building chassis, so it was all very competitive.
Last year Mercedes spent approx. £1 million per day running their team, and there is no room at all for clever, passionate enthusiastic independents.
A great shame imo.

I thought Jackie Stewart a great driver of his time.

However, his 'nanny knows best' attitude to safety left me cold.

They should all drive in short shirt sleeves like Fangio and Moss. This would sort the men from the boys..... ;D

He saw 2 or 3 of his friends die every season. He didnt start his 100th and last GP because his young team mate and friend Cevert was killed in practice. Something had to be done. It couldnt carry on like that.
It could be argued that things have gone too far in the other direction now, but you and I dont have to drive the cars, so to me it should be up to the drivers.
No denying that it was a great thing to see Grosjean walk away from his crash last year. Im old enough to remember seeing accidents like that where you knew the driver was probably dead before the medics even got to the scene.
Drivers of old had come through WW2 and therefore had a very different attitude to levels of risk that everyone in the 21st century does.

And it's not just F1 drivers but the population in general. Look at the construction workers who built the Empire State building compared with construction workers today.

It wasn't the risk of the driving that he started with, but the unforgivably poor design of things like barriers(like the ones at just the right height to decapitate a driver hitting them, or that would launch a car into the audience :o ) and the total lack of any medical facilities. Sorting those made little difference to the actual racing, but dramatically reduced the avoidable risks.

This is again a demonstration of just how bad people are at assessing risk. Which is done by multiplying the severity of any consequences by how likely it is to happen. That can make minor but very frequent occurrences much riskier than very severe but almost impossible ones. Which is the argument for basic, but correctly used  PPE; the hardhat is a hinderance without any improvement but wearing goggles when applying drippy, caustic materials above your head is sensible.

Interestingly though, the only thing that stopped Grosjean being decapitated last year was the halo device, which is the most recent safety innovation.
The medical facilities in days of yore were beyond disgraceful. No excuse, even for the time.

Tbh, he was lucky to get near one in the first place. I know a driver who raced against him (and always beat him), who said the media nickname of "Hunt the shunt" although accurate, was just slightly different to the nickname most of the drivers had for him.
He was lucky that Lord Hesketh enjoyed all the partying, and not taking anything too seriously,like Hunt, but presumably also saw some level of talent in him, that laid beneath the surface.

According to our latest Risk Assessment, we only do two dangerous things...

1, is catch covid.
2, is reversing without a banksman.

We aren't allowed to to 2 as it is prohibited by the airport byelaws.

The company doesn't have a policy if we catch covid, yet they apparently carry the same likelihood/consequence ratio.

While I agree caution is necessary, I’ve been working with caustic materials for 49 years and I’ve had loads of it in my eyes, not good I know but my eyesight is still 20/20, the correct way to lay a ceilings on is over your shoulder and a proper tradesmen can do that, if any falls it will not be directly over your eyes. There is no way in hell you could skim a ceiling properly with Goggles on, Believe me👍

I don't think it unreasonable that any couple in a stable, long term relationship shouldn't be entitled to the same legal security as is afforded to a traditional married couple... And that applies whether it's a gay couple sharing a house and cat or a heterosexual couple who have lived together for X years and have three kids.

What I do strongly object to is being told that the traditional family model is completely wrong and a minority group, when it is clear that this simply isn't the case.

I don't think it unreasonable that any couple in a stable, long term relationship shouldn't be entitled to the same legal security as is afforded to a traditional married couple... And that applies whether it's a gay couple sharing a house and cat or a heterosexual couple who have lived together for X years and have three kids.

What I do strongly object to is being told that the traditional family model is completely wrong and a minority group, when it is clear that this simply isn't the case.

Yep...civil partnership. Same rights as a married couple.

It is a funny thing that I have found the men that do have something negative to say about others being gay often have doubts about their own sexuality. The men who are very sure about their male sexuality do not care a damn about those who are gay and what they do :D

Gay crossings in Camden Town, as far as I can see, would not affect anyone. How could it?
But......this new equalities thing where women commentate on football matches is just wrong. If you think Jonathan Pierce is a screamer, you want to try and listen to the screeching when a female gets excited about a scoring chance. I either refuse to watch or, if it's a game I want to watch, turn the sound off.

I prefer watching the women play football. More goals, more end to end action. Plus women are obviously far more easy on the eye....except for those  who bat for the other side. :)

By the way, the crossing is trans, and trans and gay people do not generally rub along together very well. Trans and gays get along about as well as India and Pakistan get on, and the reason why the LGB alliance has been formed leaving trans people with the 'T' to their own 'make believe world'

So.....more goals and more gals makes football more interesting as far as I am concerned. :-* :-* :-* :-*

I could just ignore it, but I will not let someone preach such, touching on, illegal, offensive, and insulting, childish school boy nonsense.  This is one of the specialist areas I advice the police on and therefore cannot just turn a blind eye.

You missed, or ignored, my point... Your perspective is somewhat narrowed in the broader scheme of things.

That's to say the entire focus is based on a handful of minority individuals with very specific issues, whereas the law and services should be be reflective of society as a whole.

All the measures currently presented are an affront to the values that those systems are based on. You can be mindful of the needs of the smallest minority whilst portraying a solid, stable image upholding law and order. ie the traditional 'Bobby'. Consider that most interactions with the Police stem from negative situations rather than the interactions themselves being negative. This is something that has been greatly eroded by forced divisity.

It's certainly opened my eyes... in the wrong manner. The Police have been criticised for job application refusals based on strong gender beliefs, even though the person applying suited all other criteria. The person applying is actually a serving Police Officer with strong gender beliefs but did it as a test. It transpires that there are many serving Police Officers with strong gender beliefs. Also, Political Correctness gone mad when Hertfordshire Police allegedly left a vital point out when searching for a male attacker. The male attacker was wearing a dress.... but the Police were allegedly nervous of issuing that piece of information in case it upset the trans people amongst us. How crazy is that. Trans campaigner Debbie Hayton said in a statement regarding the gender belief, 'the police are there to uphold the law, not to decide which views are acceptable and which views are not.'
Things are being changed to accommodate a small percentage of people. How did Nick W describe them, oh yes, statistically insignificant.

I agree Steve, no matter what I, or anyone else says, the racists. homophobic, transphobic, the ignorant and stupid will always walk amongst us. ::) ::)

As for hurting people;  yes words stated publicly, and as we all have recognised, on social media like the OOF, can severely harm individuals at their weakest point, when they are most vulnerable.  I have seen the results of that, know of the suicides, and attempts to end life.  That should make all of us sit up and take notice of the harm we can do with words, but the way the World is, and has always been, I am not holding my breath.  Just trying in my own small way to assist and advise. :)

No DG, I took your point and expanded it.

The "handful" of people you talk about in fact are 10's of thousands across the "minority" of people.

Just as the Jews were a minority in Germany during the 1930's, these groups matter.  If we cannot protect them with the cover of law and order, then in due course it will overwhelm us all in the evil of white, nationalism, all conformist, supremacy, that has overcome other societies.  Always remember that famous :
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.


That is why we must always protect the so called minorities in our Democracy, otherwise that precious thing, gained by much sacrifice and pain, can be quickly lost as we think only the majority should be given protection, as it was first in Nazi Germany, and even them eventually lost their status to be reduced to nothing.

That is why I will argue for the weak, and the defenseless, as Jesus taught us to do.  Even if people does not believe in any type of faith, it does not matter as the message is still the right way to be. ;)

LZ I would suggest that you and the Good Lord spend a few days visiting the Yumbo Centre together and people watch.

What you will see is several very different groups occupying the same space and interacting with each other in exactly the same way as more traditional people... Some open acceptance and some open sneering. And absolutely everything in between.

You could both learn a lot, but I suspect that the GL will be less surprised :-X

Yes DG, I know you are right again :y :y

It is just that I want to stop the ignorance and stupidity of those who keep attacking what are very vulnerable people, via posts on here or by any other medium. I could just ignore them myself, but what some find as simply a bit of banter can cause real life or death situations, that I witness and advise on, amongst other issues, with Kent Police, and now Thames Valley Police, that could be avoided by a more tolerant and understanding society.  I must do my bit to help that process.

I will now try and stay silent………until the next time! :-X :-X :-X ;D
I would suggest your efforts are futile. In fact, I think your posts just make certain people more likely to continue or, even, raise their game. You are wasting your breath on here, Lizzie, nothing you say will make the slightest difference.
On the other hand, I don't see how anything posted on this particular forum could possibly harm anyone. Except, maybe, yourself.

I agree Steve, no matter what I, or anyone else says, the racists. homophobic, transphobic, the ignorant and stupid will always walk amongst us. ::) ::)

As for hurting people;  yes words stated publicly, and as we all have recognised, on social media like the OOF, can severely harm individuals at their weakest point, when they are most vulnerable.  I have seen the results of that, know of the suicides, and attempts to end life.  That should make all of us sit up and take notice of the harm we can do with words, but the way the World is, and has always been, I am not holding my breath.  Just trying in my own small way to assist and advise. :)
That's why I like this forum  :y

Or Robert Ludlum. You could have any four of his novels to hand, read 100 pages of each in a random sequence and barely notice.


There are worse authors than any of these though. Stephen King for example.

Tom Clancey's early books were very good. Since he has started collaborating with other authors they are rather formulaic. Larry Bond did a tremendous novel about  North Korea invading the South, think it's called Red Pheonix. Though Bond did collaborate with Clancy too on other titles.

They were always formulaic. What lifted them above other 'airport novels' was his ability to combine a complicated multi-strand story and plot with thoroughly researched details in a way that wasn't boring or forced. His characters started out interesting, but that's because they were already developed. That meant they got less interesting the more they were used. They do a lot of talking because of what they were and did, but his dialogue wasn't up to much.


And those complicated plots started at the just about plausible end of what if? and declined into running out of ideas.

Title: Re: Dead Person
Post by: Migv6 le Frog Fan on 28 November 2021, 15:19:37
Very sad news. He was a racer through and through. He lived for it, and when he finally faced the inevitable and sold the team, I had a feeling he would be long for this world.
He started running his team from a phone box in the street outside his house, and through sheer willpower and brain power built it into one of the greatest teams in history. It had a sad decline, but in the era of teams being owned by global corporations there was no rrom left for someone like him, which shows what the sport has now become.
R.I.P. Sir Frank.

He was  very apologetic, which was nice. Often find with showbiz types the "get out of my way Im more important than you type of attitude".

Funny you should say that Opti, but from an early age I have felt a great affinity towards that period in history.  Very strangely I have had two ‘experiences’ in original Elizabethan houses when…..I can explain in no other way……a supernatural, other dimension, ‘event’.  One was so strong and made me feel sick, I had to leave the property very quickly, with my mother who also experienced what I had at the same time!  So, who knows…….perhaps I was around in that great Elizabethan age! ;D ;)

Yes, I know, the non-believers and those sceptical of such things will not understand it, but I can only recount what happened.  Not the only ‘event’ I have experienced in my life either :o :o :o

Oh yes, like all women did.  With floor skipping dresses they thought their was no need for anything like knickers, as they would get in the way of relieving themselves quiet apart from being unnecessary with no fear of skirts being lifted by accident! Instead they wore a plain white shift garment that was an underdress next to their body, which was washed daily, unlike themselves.  Even the Queen, and that level of society, would wash fully only once per year, at most!! :o :o  Yuck!! :o ;)

In those days everyone smelt, and to us now would smell very badly!  With our Queen Bess though it was her breath in her later life that apparently could knock people off their feet.  That was due to her very rotten teeth due to eating lots of sugar laden foods and treats, as the very wealthy did as they could afford those niceties! :D :D

Correct, later called barber surgeons as they took out teeth, cut off limbs, bled people to cure them of ailments, and generally decreased the survival rate of someone injured in battle from 50/50, to less than 5 in 95!  But there was nothing else that could be done apart from leaving someone to die.  Henry Vlll survived his surgeons attempts to cure his terrible, very painful, ailments, like leg that ulcers that leaked very smelly puss and made him bad tempered enough to have unfortunates executed on a whim!  So Queen Bess’s foul breath and no doubt tooth ache was nothing. ;D ;)

As I said. A little bit less hatred and poison in the world today then.
And according to David Starkey - he never read her books or the TV adaptations of them, because he is a massive believer in facts.

The first link is about her fictional work to write about a prime minister, in this case Margaret Thatcher, being assassinated.  It was never real, but a piece of work of a type that just told about a supposed criminal act, that she would never had carried out.  She was a writer, with an imagination, like all fictional novel writers, simple as that.

As for David Starkey, if he has really never read her trilogy of novels about the Tudors, how can he pass constructive judgement. For a scholar, an historian, to say they have never read a piece of work that falls within their specialist subject is very odd and unusual.  In the academic world, before you can judge you must read and research to match the facts with any fiction.  Especially when in the 16th century there was nothing recorded as we do today, but a series of records based on how the ones who could write wanted to record what they saw as facts.  No one knows all the in's and out's of Tudor hierarchy.  For instance did Elizabeth 1 have the wife of Robert Dudley killed; did that virgin Queen actually give birth to a child?  Questions, questions, and a lot more, that historians will debate until the end of time

We know Thomas Moore quickly rose up in the favour of Henry VIII by impressing him, but then fell dramatically and fatally from grace, all outlined in Wolf's Hall, in perhaps fairly simplistic terms, compared to the complicaticated political matters, including the stubbiness of an absolute monarch, that could fill volumes.

Let's not condemn though the late Dame Hilary just because of David Starkey's opinion.Let's face it she still became a Dame because others, equally qualified, thought differently ;)

I've always enjoyed historical fiction, not because I expect them to be factual accounts of the past, but because you get a gist of what life was like back then. I enjoyed reading the Wolf Hall books and they were proper page turners, but accepted that there was a fair amount of artistic licence.  ;)

The other historical fiction writer whose books I've enjoyed is Bernard Cornwall and many of his books are set in Anglo-Saxon times.  Are they accurate depictions of life in those days? Probably not, but they are rattling good reads non the less!  :y

Even then, keep cross referencing the ‘facts’ as there are often many academic interpretations of what actually transpired.  That is what makes studying history so interesting and enjoyable! ;)

Sad .
listened t them since I was 17 and "The Captain and Me " is easily one of my 5 desert Island discs .
Just recently I was watching Sky Arts channel and the first programme was the history of Jethro Tull and then the same featuring the Doobies.
JT , of whom I also listen to , were mired in infighting ,sudden departures , ego games etc. and it left a feeling of apathy between the former members interviewed
On the other hand the feeling of affection, humour  and support between the current and former members of the Brothers Doobie was a delight .

Jeff Beck, guitarist who started out with the Yardbirds.

I was never a great fan of his playing or style although I tried many times to "get" it  , but his passing saddens me as it's another loss of a musician that I grew up listening to.
He was a great petrol head though and built many award winning hot rods all with his own hands . I was more tuned into him in that field back in the 70's and 80's .
This album cover brought the two genres together in such a perfect way .
A sad loss than many will be mourning tonight .

It took me a while to " get him" but his technique was completely unique, and to my knowledge, no-one even bothered to try and copy it.
Although several, including Hendrix, were influenced by him.
Only Clapton and Page left now from the 60,s generation of great guitarists.
His use of harmonics at the end of the video below is something that Ive never seen anyone do as effectively. Its much harder than it looks.
Also playing the strings while using the volume control and whammy bar at the same time could only be done by him in that way.
Istr he also invented the wah wah pedal.

And yes, most of the time he was much more interested in building his Hot Rods at home than going out on tour.

He was also responsible for Stevie Wonder writing Superstition.
He was recording with Stevie Wonder and they got talking about the different superstitions in England and the U.S.
Everyone except Beck went to lunch, and out of boredom he started messing around on the drum kit.
Wonder came back from lunch and asked who it was playing the drums. Beck said "its me Stevie".
Wonder told him to keep playing what he was playing, and then he started playing that famous funky intro on his keyboard.
Then he started coming up wit words about all things superstitious, and by the end of the session the song was written.

Nothing matches the Pavarotti version of this, but its still great.

David Crosby 81 ( Crosby Stills & Nash )

I was expecting this but to me it is profoundly sad .
I believed DC to be one of , if not the  best singer/songwriters I have listened to throughout my life . I first saw him in 1972 ,City halls Edinburgh with Graham Nash in a set that played way past it's planned time due to the audience refusing to leave . Saw them again at the EPIC CSN&Y 1974 Wembley concert and a further four times since .
All of his songs when played bring back many memories from different phases of my life.
Even his last album " For Free" recorded when he was touching 80 is just superb .
I listen to his music almost daily still and have a few tracks that I go to when a bit of solace is needed .
Just another part of life's journey gone .
RIP David , I can only say ...Thank you .

On reason they are a very rare sight on the roads nowdays is that most of them are being sent around the shale and tarmac ovals of the country being banger raced.

Rallying seems to be dying on it's ar*e at the moment . No RAC , Mintex , Rally GB , very little local action around here  :(

Still well supported over here where the public roads are closed off and used .
We had this locally last weekend , 'tis an annual event .

It normally runs passed my road end but this year took it to new stages so I didn't get a chance to see any of it .
The Irish Tarmac championship is a great series and nearly all are on Youtube .
I seldom watch WRC 1 cars now preferring  WRC2 or European Rally Championship series . The competition in that catagory is wide and fierce and much much more entertaining .

Not just rallying. Hillclimbs, sprints, you name it. Any excuse to legally go fast.
Why I moved to England all those years ago, I can only put down to youthful stupidity.  ::)

Craigantlet hill climb for example,  was 15 minutes away from me.

A lot of happy memories came flooding back when I went back over the years that I listened to him in the afternoon.
When I think about some of his early characters , Sid the manager and Mr angry + he really created a great show .
Another part of life's journey gone , what a shame .

RIP you gave a lot of laughs to a lot of people .   :'(

Jo Wiley said earlier on R2 that he provided the soundtracks of our lives and she was right. He was one of those enduring fixtures that made up part of the fabric of the nation that wove through all our lives.

A true legend. RIP.

Bursting in to sobs as she said it is possibly the most genuine thing I have heard from her.

Don't think I have heard a single show of his that wasn't him giving it 100% and thoroughly enjoying it. Up there with Terry, Paul Gambacini and Alex Lester.

BBC announced a new radio programme for him a few days ago.  :o
He was very overweight for a long time, so may be connected ?

It seems I may have been wrong about this.
Online talk seems to lean towards he took his own life because the Beeb had dumped him.
Time will tell I suppose.

I think his fate was sealed the moment he set foot on Russian soil and it was only a matter of time IMO.

As you say, very brave, and becoming a martyr is one thing, but ultimately he's no good to anyone six feet under.  :-\

If Tucker Carlson is still in Russia, maybe he should do something useful and investigate conditions in Russia's penal system?  ???

Very much indicative of the depravity of russia .
It's impossible not to draw comparisons with the Nazi party in the thirties.
Fear , intimidation ,propaganda ,lies and disimformation plus lengthy imprisonment and death  if one dares to question or  display anything but slavish behaviour to those in power .

A brave man that knew the consequences of his contempt for putin but still led from the front .
RIP.

There was bad blood between Gandini and Giugiaro because both insisted they were the main man behind the design of the Miura.

Steve Harley (Cockney Rebel). 73. Short battle with Cancer apparently.  :(
My kids went to school with his kids, and Daughter was friendly with his son in their teen years.
He came round ours once and entertained us with his excellent piano playing.
I thought he would follow his Dad into the music business, but apparently he became a Solicitor, which seemed a waste.

As an aside, his bass player Paul Jeffries and his new wife were killed in the Lockerbie Pan Am flight bombing on their honeymoon.
