jp11801 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Man this sucks, RIP Gregg. I have seen the ABB more times than any other band and they never failed to hit the note! Man 69 is just too damn young to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Sawyers Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 RIP John Noakes. He is probably only known to Brits of a certain age, but he was one of the presenters on a Children's magazine programme called Blue Peter in the 60's and 70's, and was a must watch (it is still running!) Noakes was known as a high risk guy - on one show he climbed Nelson's column with the pigeon shit cleaning team. Up a set of wooden ladders, including an overhang at the plinth. With no safety gear, harness, hard had etc - and wearing the 70's fashion statement of bell bottomed trousers. Died at age 83 after a battle with Alzheimers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-40083025 And this has the Nelson's Column sequence.

HemiSam Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Oh no.... Iconic figure in my early years. So good at that twisted role and series. Worked for me in the early '70's. Godspeed, Adam... HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 88 years is a pretty damn good run. Adam West was one of those dues who became cooler the older he got. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 RIP Adam West.....and yeah, he got even better with age. I think he both took himself too seriously AND was self-deprecating all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Sawyers Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 RIP the 12 confirmed dead in an horrendous fire in a 24 storey block of flats in London. Fire broke out in one flat, and rapidly spread to others. A refurbishment was complete a couple of years ago, including an external cladding, which turned out to be flammable. No sprinklers, single stairwell. Not in a third world country - in London. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/14/fire-24-storey-grenfell-tower-block-white-city-latimer-road-london Many dozens in hospital, the rest escaped in night attire.

Craig Sawyers Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Death toll has risen to 17, and likely to rise significantly further (some floors are still smouldering with local fires still burning). 37 in hospital with 17 in critical care. Astonishingly there seems to be no good data about how many people were in the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 So sad and so avoidable. I hope that contractor does prison time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Apparently the contractor had that block of flats on their website as a selling point for their services. They have since removed it. Someone, or possibly several will be prosecuted for certain. And since this is "social housing" it is managed by a company wholly owned by Kensington council. So heads will also roll in public office too. A litany of corner cutting, incompetence, and not enough money. Currently getting on for a hundred not accounted for, although to date only 17 have been confirmed - the news just gets worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
