Gav Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) The brilliant Michael Parkinson has passed away aged 88. Does anyone know the one film star he failed to have on his show? He tried his entire career, but this A-lister refused. Edited August 17, 2023 by Gav 1 Quote

arbitro Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 14 hours ago, DeeCee said: That reminds me of the story of Billy Connolly when he was a guest on Parkinson (I think) along with Rod Hull and Emu. Hull made a move towards Billy Connolly and as quick as a flash he said 'if that thing comes near me I'll break its neck and your arm'. 1 Quote

It was definitely Frank Sinatra Gav. Parky is on record as saying he is the one he regrets having never interviewed.

Ianrally Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 Bruce Guthro lead singer of Runrig died a couple of weeks ago. Only 52 years old. Quote
Dreyski Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 Matthew Perry, best known as Chandler in Friends, gone at 54 after apparently drowning at home. Quote

Sounds like he had a heart attack and happened to be in the bath/jacuzzi. Not the most surprising premature death tbh but he battled his demons hard and also tried to help other sufferers. RIP Quote
oldjamfan1 Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I'm hearing that Rovers fan Birdy has passed away. Probably one of the most recognisable supporters around for many years, and he even lived within sight of his beloved Ewood Park. RIP Birdy, at least the last game he saw was a cracking victory. Edit: I see there's a thread devoted to him in the football section. Good stuff. Edited November 8, 2023 by oldjamfan1 Quote
bazza Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Yes. I've just found out the sad news. Alan (Birdy) Birkbeck has died aged 74. When we were in the Prem we used to go to the Aqueduct pub after games into the tap room and that's how we got to know Birdy and his wife. R.I.P. Birdy; Rovers' famous supporter.

GaryC Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 Met Terry Venables once, me and my wife were in London and we saw him in the food court in Harrods, not a glamourous story but was a nice bloke 1 Quote

It’s a miracle he made it as far as 65 tbf. I saw him support The Jam in 1978 with his band The Nips (full name, The Nipple Erectors). RIP Shane 1 Quote
oldjamfan1 Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Dean Sullivan, better known as Jimmy Corkhill from Brookside, has also died in his 60s today. He was seeing a woman from Darwen back in the day, he could often be found in the pubs up Bolton Road. RIP Quote

Upside Down Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 Pleased to see that war criminal Henry Kissinger has finally died. Sad to hear about the rest. Amazed Shane McGowan made it to 65. 1 Quote
Backroom Mike E Posted December 1, 2023 Backroom Posted December 1, 2023 I remember Laurence Fox pontificating about the censoring of ‘faggot’ from Fairytale of New York, and Shane told him to ‘Fuck off you herrenvolk shite’. 🤌🤌🤌 1 Quote
