Dave 'Hairy Biker' Myers, 66

Shame. Such a nice bloke.

 

[Dire Wolf]

RIP. Behind one of my favourite recipes of all time in the Hairy Dieters Cook Book. He and Si King, both lovely blokes.

 

[Lupo]

We have spoke of them a fair bit this week as we're travelling Newcastle and the North East and visiting some places they've covered. So sad and gutted for Si too, they had a wonderful friendship

 

[Langers]

Gutted about this. They always come across as really genuine guys, and from a cooking point of view, I could barely cook anything until around 10 years ago and their books were some of the ones I used to teach myself. Really enjoyed their programmes too.

Such sad news, RIP Dave

I don't particularly cook., but have always watched their programmes. Really sad news.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I had a couple of their books in the cookery collection that sadly didn’t travel here with me. Good recipes and easy to follow. I also enjoyed the programmes a lot. Shit news.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just seemed a really nice bloke (they both do), such a shame.

Apparently he was a make up artist in the 80s and was responsible for Adam Ants white nose stripe!
Couple of ex punks have from bands have mentioned it in their tributes

Tony Green, the darts referee, scorer, amateur player, commentator and star of ITV’s Bullseye, has died aged 85 after a “long battle with Alzheimer’s”.

I was fortunate enough to have met Tony several times in the late 70s. A genuine guy.

The impact DBZ had on me and my male peers from '96 to about '04 was unbelievable.

Rest in piece, Toriyama-san, you grumpy genius.

Paul Alexander 78, known as polio Paul, he contracted polio aged six, had to be put into an iron lung to survive, where he spent the next 70+ years, qualified as a lawyer and ran his own law firm

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That's absolutely mental!

It's somehow simultaneously incredibly depressing and incredibly inspiring!!!

What's almost worse, is that he looks like Alan Brazil.

 

[Keef]

While I’m here, Phillipe de Gaulle 102, was the last surviving child of Charles de Gaulle

 

[Lupo]

What's almost worse, is that he looks like Alan Brazil.

Was about to say the same!

Probably more mobile than Big Al
