      Another blow for the bond family.....four gone in less than a year.

      Pretty shite actress but had some other appealing qualities obviously. Also in a few 80s Conan rip offs and that 70s show. RIP

              Interesting aside about this song which I was surprised by ...

              Mum had chosen "You'll Never Walk Alone" for her funeral. Which, with all due respect to Gerry, surprised me as Gerry & The Pacemakers was not her style at all.

              So I googled and discovered it was originally from a 1945 Rodgers & Hammerstein musical (which made waaay more sense) called Carousel (which I had barely heard of).

              G&TP obviously nailed it with their release which Liverpool has adopted so well.

              We used G&TP at the funeral because we couldn't track down a decent recording from the show (without spoken lines being inserted therein).

              RIP Gerry.

                                  Marion Ramsey, who played Laverne Hooks in the Police Academy films.

                                  Away from that role, she was one of the finest stage & Broadway actors of her generations

                                                    Longtime home run king Hank Aaron dies at 86

                                                    Longtime home run king Hank Aaron dies at 86

                                                    Hank Aaron, known for his sweet swing that carried him to 755 career home runs, which long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86.

                                                    Hank Aaron was a major figure in American sports, was one of the black pioneers in a white dominated sport, and was the total home run MLB king until Barry Bonds eclipsed him

                                                          @MN5 Well that was a fair assumption. He's looked dead for decades.

                                                          That reminds me of Jimmy Carr introducing John Cooper Clarke on cats. "Dr John is 70 years old but doesn't look a day over died ten years ago".

                                                                It was a listing in the Herald that convinced Thorburn that rugby players north of the harbour bridge needed their own union.

                                                                  Was a long time correspondent to Radio Sport (with Telfer IIRC). I fondly remember his labelling of talk back callers The Flat Earth Society.

                                                                                  I don't recall seeing that he passed away last year, but apparently he did. (Someone will probably discover that I posted about it at the time - but, that's not unusual).

                                                                                  As well as being one of the few NZ forwards to have scored 100 first class tries, he also set a record for the most points scored by a forward on a tour (1968 tour of Oz), which might still stand. He was a pretty decent goal kicker and did the goal kicking on that tour when Fergie McCormick didn't.
