    Steve Harley gone.

    Most famous for Come up and see me, make me smile but I much preferred his earlier stuff like Judy Teen.

    Rod Oram remembered as 'brave', 'sharp' and a 'true gentleman'

    A "true gentleman", a top business journalist and a tireless advocate for climate action are some of the ways he's been described.

    The Post

    Met Oram twice and have a book of economic articles he wrote.

    A decent, caring guy with a very sharp intellect and latterly a real concern for the environment.

    Sadly social media trolls are out in force with comments like should have happened sooner only could be better if it had happened on a protected cycleway.

    ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Pays Touching Triple Tribute to Richard Lewis, Gilbert Gottfried and Aflac

    ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Pays Touching Triple Tribute to Richard Lewis, Gilbert Gottfried and Aflac

    Gottfried finally appeared on ‘Curb’ in last night’s episode where he was joined by a couple of old friends

    By absolute coincidence just started re watching CYE again, he was a huge part of it being as awkwardly hilarious as it was.

    RIP.

    To be honest I’d assumed he’d died years ago

    Vaguely remember him at the end of his firs clad career looking like a figure from an old movie town pre war reel.

    Gotta be NZs best leggie.

    I thought he'd died a long time ago too. He had a brother who was an off-spinner didn't he?
