    Len Deighton has died. Or is it just a clever ploy?
  • EnochEnoch Shipmate
    That's another name whose 70 year post mortem copyright period I'd unthinkingly assumed had long since already commenced.

    As a youngster I hated "Bomber" as it was so unpleasant but as age has mellowed me I've realised that it's probably one of the truest-to-life portrayals of the bomber war from both sides there is. There's a lot of shit you don't realise as a naive teenager.

    Wasn't on anyone's list, but worth noting the passing of Chuck Norris at the age of 86.

    Did anyone have Scottish rugby international Scott Hastings?
  • SandemaniacSandemaniac Shipmate
    Or former England cticket skipper MJK Smith?

    Too young, and too much tragedy for one life 💔

    Indeed.

    A sad loss - he was so good every time I saw him.
  • HedgehogHedgehog Shipmate
    Yes. That loss hurts. He had such a great way of presenting devastating lines in a calm matter-of-fact way.

    RIP David Hockney - a great artist. Not sure if anyone had him.
  • SipechSipech Shipmate
    No. Have looked through my spreadsheet and double checked the thread. Between the 150 individuals nominated, we've only seen two departures so far this year, and they were a day apart from one another, back in February.

    Several people did have an elderly gay Yorkshireman who worked in the arts, but they all thought Alan Bennett would go first.

    Alan Greenspan is now serving God instead of mammon.

    Hopefully serving God, anyway. He was a Rand fan…
