    @Salacious-Crumb not for about 40years. And whoopee, whizzer and chips, tiger magazine with Billys boots ( magical football boots, was my favourite)
    I guess Viz is the adult version of those childhood staple comics for gen x'ers.

    For anyone who watched WWF in the 80s or 90s, the legendary ring announcer, Howard Finkel has died. Apparently he came up with the name 'Wrestlemania'.

    I can't upvote a death but Dennehy was still appearing in The Blacklist as recently as last year.

    The highlight reel just shown on the BBC would have seen Norman have a very short career in the modern game.

    @MiketheSnow The famous 1975 tussle between Norman Hunter and Franny Lee. They were England room mates:

    Bruce Allpress - a constant part of kiwi tv and movies for a generation (and father of Michael Allpress of Allpress Coffee fame)

    Will always live on in NZ from this alone though.

    Really sad. Cool band and his keyboard sound was very distinctive and clever. RIP

    @JC Fuck, saw them when they were here in Feb. Really good show (the "new" lead singer is an arse - jokes about CWC final had cups thrown at him - and he reacted like some tough guy which he clearly isn't).

    Great band and Misex were fantastic too.

    "Dig up" - nice, well sort of.

    Yeah, and he was bloody brilliant too. Steve Balbi, a kind of Johnny Depp lookalike character. Would go and see them again anytime.
