The reaper suddenly realised it's December tomorrow and he's still got a long way to go to hit his annual targets.

Pushing for that Christmas bonus

Is sad he died but the last few pics we saw of him in hospital i did not think he would survive was surprised he was allowed to go home last week. But that was obvs a last wish and not wanting to pass away in hospital.

RIP Shane

I'll take endless "Fairytale of New York" plays over endless Mariah Carey thank you very much.
That said I never hear the radio and I rarely watch broadcast TV so it's not too hard to avoid the worst offending Christmas songs these days.

RIP McGowan though. What little I know of him I'm actually surprised he made it to 65.

Kissinger can strawberry floating rot.

Alistair Darling had impressive eyebrows.

They used to match the rest of his face. Everything aged except the eyebrows:

This is the kind of anecdote in the wake of a celebrity's death that gets to me.

In 1989, NME got Shane MacGowan, Mark E Smith and Nick Cave together in a pub. The interview is mental.

Mark E Smith was such a nobhead. But very funny.

Ryan O'Neal, for any fans of Paper Moon or Bones. Shame.

His death has really upset me. I've been watching videos and reading all the obituaries; there's his letter to Birmingham on iPlayer atm that brought me close to tears when he visits his old school and gets all the kids laughing at his silly poems.

He was a real one for sure. I'm devastated.

Loved his acting, really sad loss.

Real bad one, that.

[Skarjo]

Young too, 61 is no age these days.
