Musings on the byways of popular culture
Just as I suspected, the link to this morning’s BBC news article announcement didn’t appear and neither did the YouTube clip that I posted. Ho hum.

Sad news. I remember him as the quiet and polite dread who accompanied his mother to GP appointments, early 2000s
RIP, Benjamin.
Sadly, a cousin of mine has recently been diagnosed with a similar tumor so I know how horrible it can be to see a loved one’s personality and ability to live inexorably eaten away
I had no idea he had been ill, very sad news.
His Autobiography ‘The Life & Rhymes Of’ is a great read. RIP
Seconded.
