Celebrity deaths always come in threes

Steed's checked out:

Val Doonican gone at 88

Two people who many would have thought went a while back. Robert Vaughn and Peter Vaughn said to be shitting themselves

Sherrif Omar gone.

Famous for his support of Hull City and his adoration of Ken Wagstaff

Sir Peter O'Sullevan
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper
Cilla Black

Not only befitting the faces more so of the 80s, but they appear to have died in popularity order, from most loved to absolute fucking cunt

If I remember rightly, Cilla Black was a Thatcher lover.

You do remember rightly, Tone. Someone effectively said on Twitter as they flew her body back to somewhere in the UK that it will be the first time she didn't make the airline staff's lives a fucking total misery, the snotty cunt.

She wasn't liked, no matter what Jimmy fucking Tarbuck says.

We lost George Cole since I was last fulminating. The Winchester flew its flag at half mast (Liverpool Town Hall inexplicably did this for Cilla Black)

Fuck me....where to start!

Dennis Healey
Hugh Scully
Gordon Honeycombe
Geoffrey Howe



Lots of the letter 'H' in that list too.
Harry Houdini should be thankful he's already dead.

Richard Davies and Jim Diamond for the double hat-trick, Tone.

Jim Diamond sand "Should've Known Better" and "I Won't Let You Down" and the theme tune to Boon

Richard Davies you'll know as any number of Welshmen including in Zulu but most instantly memorably in Please Sir

Richard Davies isn't dead!

Was put on to it by someone I'd consider reliable, Tone, and someone has killed him off on Wikipedia too.

Would love a steretypical "I'm not dead, look you" from him if that's the case

Still can't see it Bert.

Would think ONE newspaper would have reported it by now.

That is odd, Tone, because he was down as demised on the 8th on the same page last night. Mark Gatiss (League of Gentlemen) tweeted as much as well and the (independent) Coronation Street blog has posted as much too.

It's Sue Townsend all over again

He's no more dead than we are mate.

Tweeted by a writer friend of his* and apparently made @BBCBreaking as well, Tone.

Am with you, though - I'd have expected at least one media source where there's an indelible mark.

The world is apparently getting on it...



*Bloke who was Frankie Abbott in Please Sir

Richard Davies dead again on Wikipedia - Alzheimer's appears to be the cause

Nicer piece here http://tobyhadoke.com/doctor-who/richard-davies-welsh-character-actor-rip-1926-2015/

Meanwhile, Michael Meacher dies, 75. Sitting MP and one of the last four in the house (Ken Clarke, Denis Skinner and Gerald Kaufman) who went back to 970.

Yep, he's definitely brown bread Bert.............Cory Wells of the band three dog night makes up the trio.....Mama told me not to come.

Pat Eddery dead at only 63.
He was a superb jockey in the 70s.

Helmut Schmidt the former German chancellor checks out......who will number three be?

Turns out Eddery drank himself to death.

Alf Garnett gone.

phil taylor , motorhead now theres a live band worth seeing

Motorhead?......I'd rather watch wood warp.

Harry Ormesher as well, who might not be a familiar name to many but was a Page 3 photographer (meh), Liverpool FC's official photographer (hmm), a common name on the photos on the sports pages of both the Liverpool and more importantly, Pink Echo (on the street by 5pm, full of scores when the games only finished at 4.45) (social history, yay) and who later turned to breeding racehorses and bred Sir Percy who would win a Derby

However, Tone, you may recall him as a co-owner of the Iron Door club in Liverpool... His son Bradley is a professional photographer too.
