RIP someone or another

RIP AJ.

 

[Knuckledragger]

RIP David Ball, one half of Soft Cell and The Grid.  Everyone knows "Tainted Love" (for good reason) but in my world The Grid was the absolute sweet spot for UK rave culture with pop sensibility.

June Lockhart 😭

[Voltron]

RIP to the other Mrs. Robinson

Later she starred in Dead Women in Lingerie with Jerry Orbach. Dream casting.

He was great even in his late years. RIP JDJ 

[skullguise]

Loved his work with Keith Jarrett for Standards and other LP's as well!  RIP Jack!

[Craig Sawyers]

RIP Prunella Scales, who played Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. Aged 92 after a long decline from Alzheimers.

93 apparently.

^^ Very sad. She was brilliant in FT. 

... and I got to know about her condition over a decade ago and happy that she made it this long. I use to watch her canal boat program all the time. I would just ask my partner, 'Old People on a Boat?'

RIP Prunella...

Timothy West - also a great actor of stage and screen - predeceased his wife Prunella aged 90 in late 2024.

I was lucky enough to meet Prunella Scales around 20 years ago. She gave an acting masterclass to our local pro theatre company, Creation Theatre, that for some reason we got invited to. She was very nice, and was really tiny.

Dick Cheney croaked.  Remember when he was the most evil man in America?

Using a Star Wars reference Dick Cheney is/was Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sideous), Rumsfeld was Darth Vader and Trump is Kylo Ren (A pale imitation wannabe of Vader). Just Sayin’

Within my PLOWED whisky group we have an annual gathering called Ardbeggeddon (which some know about). It takes place in an undisclosed location. Many years ago this became known as "Dick Cheney's Secret Bunker" as a joke for posting purposes. 

I have proposed to the group that the location should be changed to "Dick Cheney's Crypt".

Maybe you can use a photo from his Vice Presidential Library? 

[Grahame]

Time for a (celebratory?) rewatch?

I think to honor his memory, Liz Cheney should run for office again.....as a Democrat.

[swt61]

I don't know that I find much honor in his memory, however I find honor in his daughter. I don't agree with many of her policy ideas, but she stood up to Trump when he trampled the constitution. One of the very few that did. I find that very honorable!

RIP Cleto Escobedo III, of "Cleto and the Cletones" fame.

[Knuckledragger]

RIP Todd Snider, the situation surrounding his death is a bit murky and pretty awful.  He was ill and had been violently assaulted recently.

Rip Rogue Ales and Spirits.
