Stricken with cancer, Artist Tracey Emin has said she'll be happy to see Christmas.

I may not think much of her Art, but she's a personable, funny working class
lass who survived a terrible adolescence to become a successful world renowned artist.

I wish her well for 2021.

A lot of her art you need to see in the flesh to ‘get it’. I’ve got some pieces that wouldn’t work just as a picture.

Gone out with the cold?

Never got full credit for making Liverpool the club they are today, RIP.

[Cupramax]

Very sad, seemed like a genuinely nice bloke

[Ructions]

RIP Gerard Houllier. YNWA

[PurpleTurtle]

Houllier was only at my club Aston Villa for one season and it was a rocky ride due to lots of injuries to key players.

Despite lots of idiot fans being on his case all season, he still steered us to 9th in the PL before stepping down due to his health issues (arguably related to the stress of the job), a position we have subsequently failed to improve on with the next seven managers.

I always liked him, he seemed educated and eloquent, a really dignified man. RIP.

[RichB]

Very sad news and only 73 which is no age. As everyone has said, he always came across as a genuinely decent person. RIP

[blue_haddock]

Allez allez RIP Gerard houllier

This part would appear to give you a clue:


'the actor who played Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.'

[Eric Mc]

The problem with a lot of Star Wars actors is that they acted wearing masks, hoods, helmets etc. So, their most famous roles didn't make their faces famous.

On the telly from an early age, one of those actors who you see in all sorts of stuff, but can never remember their name. Was in a couple of Bond movies.
Also Summer Holiday with sir Cliff.
