And the next celeb RIPs are..............

[Nobby the Bastard]

So it's not so much lack of Britishness you dislike as a lack of Englishness?

I knew nothing about the man until I read about his demise.. I now know he shagged Naomi Campbell (inter al) 23 years his senior.

I see the media this morning are well into the 'what a good guy he was' phase of reporting his death. They even paraded his best mate from school and his dance teacher for nice comments. A cynic might sumise that in the background they are also digging up dirt, ready for the ok for the 'character assassination' that will undoubtably follow.

Bless....

Geoff Capes, still the British shot put record holder, two-time world's strongest man, has died aged 75. Budgerigar enthusiast (like James Hunt), former copper, seemed like a nice man and I recall being astonished when he beat a footballer in a cycling race in a late ‘70s/early ‘80s episode of Superstars on telly. RIP.
