Nor was I but I am on somewhat of a crusade, losing battle it is, to highlight people of substance in a world gone mad with trashy, shallow, useless, celebrity nobodies.

Jimbeaux, I keep telling you, we have very good obituary pages in the good newspapers over here.

And there is a very good obituary programme each week on BBC Radio 4.

I know you do and thanks. I suppose I feel unsure that they are noted by too many on here besides more focused fellows such as yourself. If I am bothering with these type posts, ya,ll holler out and I will desist. ETA: Was this fellow in those notices?

My favourite scientist of all time worked on that project too - Richard Feynman.

I don't know why but that made be chuckle, a mental image of Eric Mc patiently waiting by the radio to find out who's died.

Reminds me of my grandmother. On each visit she would ask my mum things like "do you remember Dorothy, used to live at number 30, her son went to roger manwood's as well, you know, oh you must remember, married to whatisname with the fruit and veg stall..."

my mum, eventually: "I think so, why?"

grandmother "well, she's dead now".

and so on.

edited to add, my great-uncle had an obit in the Guardian, does that count as a good newspaper? I'm not convinced..

I'm not entirely sure you could categorise the passing of someone aged 92 as:

"very sudden, very unexpected"

It's the highlight of the week.

I always breath a sigh of relief when I discover I'm not on it.

He probably died so young due to radiation exposure.
