    Aviva Stadium, Dublin, 24 November 2013. Richie McCaw's All Blacks looked like they'd fall at the final hurdle in their quest for the perfect season.

    My abiding memory and uplifting memory of that game (apart from the result) was watching Clive Woodwhinge's face on TV after the game. Looked like he'd been eating lemons laced with wasps.

    I'm not surprosed. I've been at a sports lunch with Brian Moore and he's a really emotional, heart-on-his-sleeve type. Good bloke too.

    Liked his writing, disliked his commentary. Not really a fan but agree, too young and horrid for his family.

    Sad to hear.

    This tune always filled the D floor back in the day, me and other wiggers trying to be “Gangsta”. Clever dude.

    RIP.

    Another one who I could have sworn died years ago.

    I need to get up with current affairs instead of trawling the net for memes.

    Well worth a read and watch for the memories. Robbie Coltrane: a totally singular talent from Cracker to Harry Potter – cerebral, physical and unforgettable

    Forgivable as she seems to have been on the screen since movies began...

    Didn't even know she was British and was Dame Angela Lansbury.
