The R.I.P. Thread

[EpsomWolf]

Never got the Led Zep thing and didn’t know much about any of them apart from the obvious Wolves connection with RP, but was recently told Jimmy Page went to the local school down the road and lived just round the corner from here.

I know he’s much revered but blimey, his choice of partners is interesting, dodged a #metoo bullet there I reckon.

The other fairly interesting Robert Plant fact is he was born in the same hospital in West Brom exactly a year to the day later than the well known Irishman Phil Lynott.
John Bonham is buried in Rushock a small village in between Kidderminster and Bromsgrove

Jim Lovell 97 astronaut,

Ray brooks actor 86,
Starred in the 1960s BBC drama Cathy come home, various voice overs for adverts, but probably best known as the voice of Mr Benn the children’s cartoon in the 70s.

 

[Jack Regan]

And one of my faves as a kid King Rollo.

Also saw him last weekend in one of the Peter Cushing doctor who films where he was basically the action star of the film.

Biddy Baxter 92, tv producer,
Best known as the blue Peter producer for 30 years, she’s also responsible for inventing the Blue Peter badge.
One of those people you thought had died about 40 years ago

My son bought me a Zeppelin biography about a year ago and I read about his childhood in Epsom, I live near the Downs by the way… and the feeling that I got from reading the book was that, by and large, they were not very nice people.

If half of what was said was true while they were on tour, Page and Plant would likely be in prison these days.

flight lieutenant John Cruickshank VC 105.
Was the last surviving WW2 VC winner.
The last RAF VC winner.
After his exploits, the RAF gave him a desk job on his squadron and banned him from flying, which he said that annoyed me, thinking I wasn’t fit enough to fly!

Proper hero.

Terrance Stamp, actor aged 87

 

[Keef]

Among all his other stuff, wasn’t he the Terry mentioned in the kinks Waterloo sunset, Julie Christie was the Julie

 

[Jack Regan]

Terrance Stamp, actor aged 87

Can't beat his shouting at Supermane!

As an Andrew the overemphasis on the A has always annoyed me. Especially when the stupid cockney math's teacher (I had at senior school) lost my GCSE coursework and denied I'd ever handed it in. Meaning I had to redo it all over a weekend, and as a result it was no longer as good as the stuff I'd previously handed in. Wanker!

 

[Keef]

Ronnie Rondell jr 86, actor and stuntman, been in loads of stuff, you won’t recall anyone of them, most famous thing he’s done is a pink Floyd album cover, wish you were here, he’s the bloke on fire!

 

[Keef]

Josef Carof 103, graphic designer, yea I’ve never heard of him either, he got paid $300 in 1962 for this iconic design

 

[Wolf Hunting]

I doubt a wife beating racist like Hulk Hogan would find himself at the hypothetical pearly gates.

Dreadful human being.

Same with Mother Theresa, what on earth is she doing on there!
Absolute fraud and a thief.
Shocking little dwarf.
Sucked in millions and millions and ran those dirty hovels with sick people on pallets and lying on cold concrete floors. Multi use of needles, washed bandages in cold water. Told sick and screaming cancerous patients that God died for you, You have to endure this.. Give me a fucking break. And all the time the millions were pouring in.
Grrrr.

And couldn’t get into a private hospital quick enough when she was seriously ill, and got made a saint in double quick time
