Stephen Hawking dead at 76. Some going for a man who got told at 22 he would only last a few years which stretched out to 54.

 

Do you think he was maybe faking it?

A great innings.

Have they tried his on/off button?

There's a cracking episode of South Park along similar lines.

[Kowalski]

Jim Bowen gone to the great speedboat in the sky.

[BigAl]

Not a very good week to be a "celebrity"

[Kowalski]

First Hawking and then Bowen.

 

Good to see they kept up the tradition of letting the non-darts player go first.

There's a celebrity deaths thread for this sort of thing.

Eric Bristow wasn't a celebrity, he was a proper bloke.

Eric Bristow wasn't a celebrity, he was a proper bloke.

 

That was a shock when I heard that this morning. Darts was essential TV viewing when I was a kid and Bristow was certainly one of the best, his games against John Lowe were legendary.

[RicoS321]

Bristow was certainly one of the best

 

Aye, but was he "gets his own thread" good?

[Lencarl]

I had a quick scroll through the threads for that but could not see it, but maybe the Admin guys could move this to the celebrity death section.

Hardly the crime of the century mate......but done nonetheless

[RicoS321]

A moral and administrative victory for me, once again. Bristow can finally rest in peace.

[TheDeeDon]

Wasn't sure where to put this incase I started off a certain someone    Ex Partick and Hamilton Manager John Lambie popped his clogs today aged 77.

 

He did a fair old job at both clubs, proper old school manager.

It maybe deserves a thread of its own in the football section, but nae chancing it.

[Elgindon]

Ach nae my kind of manager,but a likeable enough chap.Think he was manager at Hamilton when he gave the Souness Huns a couple of embarassing defeats.

  Chain smoked or inhaled cigars hence the rauch voice?.May be what finished him off.

R Lee Ermey 74, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket.

[Kowalski]

Dale Winton!!

Aids?

Avicii

Avicii 

 

Who he ?

Never heard of him.

[manc_don]

Who he ?

Never heard of him.

 

Shite “musician”. I don’t even dare call him a DJ because he wasn’t one. Was not a fan of his music or what he represented but what a fucking waste of life. 28 years old...no age at all, had retired from performing and touring two years back to sort his life out. Suicide apparently
