A miracle he managed to live this long. Talented, but seemed permanently in turmoil.

Carlos Alberto, legendary Brazilian, captain of the 1970 team and scorer of one of the most iconic goals in World Cup history.. RIP

Sad loss to the world of football. RIP.

Leonard Cohen RIP

Clever take on the old Sergeant Pepper sleeve here. I recognise most of these faces. But not all.

That's genius.....still over a month of 2016 to go though, and we may be due a cold spell.

Very well done. There are a few I don't recognise plus I didn't know Garry Shandling had left us.

Heaven seems to be calling so many of our Gifted Genius's back these past months....for me Leonard Cohen was a 'genius' a poet and a bard in the truest sense - Originally a poet and writer of worth before turning to being a song writer and performer.....a sad, sad time...like Bowie he fought and lost his fight with Cancer and like Bowie although mortally ill - he worked for as long his strength and the illness would allow.



This was his last interview September 2016..even then he was extremely ill and knew he was going to die soon






May His Spirit Be At Peace

I loved FT years ago and even though the comedy in it has aged pretty badly (as most comedy does) it still brings a smile to my face.

I don't think it's aged that badly mate. Some of those episodes (The Germans, Hotel Inspectors, The Builders) are laugh out loud for the dialogoue and farce.

You are a hideous arrangotang
