Is he really dead this time? I quite like the idea of his family keeping winding the BBC up by telling them he's dead and then telling them he isn't just after they announce it He was, in my opinion, treated shabbily when he was taken off Sounds of the 60s recently due to ill health, when he was saying he was ok to do it Radio will be a ****ter place without him on it, a sad loss RIP

Every time I read the RIP thread I do the maths. I'm sure others do too... Lets make the most of each day.

Panamanian international footballer, Amilcar Henriquez, dies in ''hail of bullets'' near his home - http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...-times/ar-BBzSNO3?li=BBoPWjQ&ocid=mailsignout Nothing remotely humorous in that but, his home is in a place called Nuevo Colon - does that not translate to ''new arsehole?''. I tried to blank out ''being ripped a new one'' jokes but I'm sad to say, I failed. I'm blaming MacKenzieitis.
