It's never too soon to joke, but only if it's done in good taste.
Yours was!

I liked him in East is East and it's sequel. An Indian man playing a Pakistani. He must have had to swallow his pride!

Well, as we've had the first to pop off, the thread is now redundant!

From the list? A.N. Other famous person shuffling off this mortal coil and joining the choir invisible, while a sad event, doesn't count if they're not on the list.

From BBC "His older brother Richard Sarstedt, who performed under the stage name Eden Kane" - every day really is a school day, I didn't know that! (Most of you have probably not heard of Eden Kane, but some will!)

Fook I am 70 on Tuesday I am starting to worry.

Well, I ask you! Never would have thought they were related.

I couldn't care much at all about most deaths, but I was saddened to read of the death of Pete Chapouris on the 5th/6th. Not a celebrity by any means, but very famous in hot-rodding circles. Most famous for building the 'California Kid' '34 Ford Coupe (as seen the 1974 film, The California Kid and loads of other cool rods through running Pete & Jake's alongside Jim 'Jake' Jacobs.

I have (but then I'm ancient). He sang "Forget Me Not" amongst other things.

And there is another Sarstedt brother, Robin, who had a big hit in 1976 with a version of Hoagy Carmichael's "My Resistance is Low".

Not a lot of people know that.

And even fewer know his real name is Clive
