Minor point NW, but thought she was from Cas ?, used to see her every now and again when I lived there but you are right she spent every last penny.
When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

Always remember reading that at the height of his fame if he got booked to fly to a show he'd always demand two seats: one for him and one for Orville !

RIP Gregory Mertens.

24 years old. Heart attack on the pitch. Died three days later having never woken up.

What a waste :(

RIP Ben E. King :(

You'll all know him for Stand By Me and Spanish Harlem but he had a long career, including a funky disco period - this is one of his classics :

I was saddened to read of Rio Ferdinands wife dying of cancer. Way too young to die. I know Rio went onto too play for Manchester United but we made a decent profit out of him. A time to forget rivalries.

RIP
