Really really sad that anyone suffering from depression gets so low that death is preferable to living.Quote:

Good actor . RIP
Just seen that Brian Trueman died on the 1st September. Maybe not a well known name but if you're my age (50) he will have had an influence on your childhood. He was a writer, broadcaster and voice actor responsible (writing and/or acting) for things like Chorlton and the Wheelies, Jamie and the Magic Torch, Super Ted, Dangermouse, Count Duckula and many more. He was 92.
Can't believe that, we were just talking about him the other day when my grandson was watching Danger Mouse. Count Duckula was genius.Quote:

Just noticed Tony Soper died a couple of days ago. Naturalist, author and broadcaster he will probably be remembered mostly for co hosting Animal Magic with Johnny Morris back in the 60s but was a staple, certainly in kids Natural History TV right through to the 80s. I was 9 when my uncle bought me my first one of his books (Discovering Birds) as he tried to convert me into an avid twitcher along with long days out at Martin Mere! I was hooked up until I hit my teens when other things became my focus in life!! I regret that now I have lost so much of the knowledge I gained from his books and my uncle, but I am still pretty good at identifying waterfowl and waders.
David Graham, the voice of Parker from Thunderbirds and, apparently Peppa Pig's Grandpa.
Also the Daleks in Doctor Who.Quote:

He was the best, comparable with the likes of Richie Benaud, Bill McLaren and Dan Maskell.Quote:

Alex salmond passes away
George Baldock, 31 year old footballer who had played over 200 games for Sheffield Utd before moving to Greece to Panathinaikos, found dead in his swimming pool
Can’t see it confirmed anywhere except the red tops and Daily Mail bit apparently Liam Payne from One Direction has died after falling from a balcony in Argentina. So young.
He’s been absolutely off his face for weeks now. The internet has been awash recently with videos of him absolutely ****ed on drink/drugs on an almost daily basis.Quote:

Liked the majority of their songs. Took my niece to see Harry Styles and was genuinely amazing, such a natural entertainer.
My wife saw on X that TMZ had photos of his body after the fall. I find that absolutely disgusting. How do they get away with doing stuff like that?Quote:
