Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

The King Crimson and Bucks Fizz lyricist Peter Sinfield has died, aged 80.

King Crimson and Bucks Fizz are unlikely bed-fellows, but Pete worked with a lot of other artists.

He also provided the words for Greg Lake's perennial festive hit I Believe In Father Christmas, which first charted in 1975, and for Celine Dion's global smash Think Twice. ....... Although in was kept off the top spot in 1975 by Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Sinfield said radio station plays every December meant it kept him in royalties that he estimated were about £20,000 a year.

John Prescott punches out

86 is older than I was expecting. Lots of "political heavyweight" comments in the news which is a kind of way of saying he clearly ate a lot of chips.

Or because he famously punched someone, like a heavyweight boxer? Combo of the two, maybe. Was also known to be quite boisterous. It’s used quite often in politics to mean someone with a lot of influence, though.

My Dad always used to tell me that we were related to him, but I can't remember how. I'm sure he was just bullshitting me.

Normally it's because you have a shared ancestor.

Indeed he does @SupaModz can you please update the first post?

Seems very appropriate that Dimmers retires as champion.

Martyn Brown has passed away at only 57. He was one of the founders of Team 17 and if you're anything like me, you would have loved some of their games on the Amiga.

57... no age.

Team17 might have lost their way a little bit since their glory days, but they were a big part of my formative years! Sad news indeed.

He'll spend eternity trying to complete Alien Breed 2 with a friend.

Jimmy Carter has gone, giving people some almost last minute points.

Jimmy Carter https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce98937nrqrt

Multiple points for many people but Dimrill had him on the list as well so he's still ahead with 2

So points for
Davpaz
GazChap
Grim...
& Dimrill

Nothing to celebrate about his life or ‘work’, but Jean-Marie Le Pen has exited, stage (far) right.

How do people feel about a 2025 thread? The dead pool thing was very much Dimrill's baby

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 26262

He’d want somebody to take on the task and keep it going.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38716

Indeed. I shall.
