I can't see why that would make a difference, but OK.

I knew there were others but weren't sure who they were, of those I know Jill got a new job recently, perhaps she's just snowed under at the mo, not sure about the other two though.

[MK Chris]

Jill was just one of those people who show up, stay for a bit then get bored I reckon. She wasn't here long. Bonanzoid comes and goes and Chrystopolopolopolous is moving I think, but he wasn't here long either.

[Boboff]

Well with witty banter and insightful posts like these I really they they are missing a trick!

[Yudster]

I love you Boboff. I miss foot-loose, but I love you.

[Boboff]

That's nice Sugar Tits, if only I would read the post so that "Think" was typed instead of "They"

Love you too, although our out of work affinity, has now become our working again affinity (Although the 15 hours a week I do, doesn't actually feel like work!)

Hope it's all good.

[foot-loose]

Oh no....

I think Footloose is dead.

Haha. Aye.

This can be the ressurrection. Resurrection. Resurection.

Rezz Erection.

Welcome back Foots, wondered where you had got to.

Erich Segal: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8469172.stm

I'd never heard of him until now, but as he wrote (or co-wrote) the screenplay for The Yellow Submarine, this gets an 'Oh no' from me.

The voice of Rugby. For me, there are three commentators that it's just not the same without. John Motson on Football, Murray Walker on F1, and Bill McLaren on Rugby. These are three men that love the sport they work on, have a ridiculous amount of knowledge about that sport, and enhance your experience of watching it. You want to enjoy it as much as they do. Rugby lost theirs yesterday, and while he had retired a few years ago, this is still one of my more genuine "Oh no" moments.

It's very sad, but he doesn't half look different without his 'Demon' make-up...

American literary giant JD Salinger has died aged 91. Oh no!

American literary giant JD Salinger has died aged 91. Oh no!

But he wrote one book when he was 14, that was it!

Nah not all. Been a mad 3 months. Johnny's right, i started a new job in October (which i hate to its very core) then went on holiday for a couple of weeks, then was really ill for November and December, and finally getting back into a routine now, as well as fighting with a rubbish internet connection.

[Johnny 1989]

Welcome back Jill

Sorry to hear you've had a tough few months by the way, hope you're getting better now

Actor Ian Carmichael, who played Bertie Wooster in the 60s and (as I know him best) starred in the 1950s film adaptation of Kingsley Amis' 'Lucky Jim', has died at 89.

Musician and composer Johnny Dankworth has died aged 82, announced last night by his wife, the amazing Cleo Laine. A great loss to the world of music. Even if jazz isn't your thing (its not really mine) Dankworth's influence in film and TV music has definitely impacted on all of us.

Oh No!

[MK Chris]

My boss has just been talking about Johnny Dankworth - I wasn't aware, but apparently he and Cleo Laine set up the popular music venue in Milton Keynes, The Stables in effectively the back garden to their house.
