How sad is this. He was only 19 years old. I never knew of him but feel absolutely gutted for his family..

Francois Kablan, RIP

Is there many you would shed a tear over though?. I am dreading the day Sir David Attenborough leaves the planet.

I won't know until it comes. Very sad when his brother died, he was a big Chelsea fan.

There have been a few deaths that surprised me how sad I was. Patrick Swayze oddly enough. Never someone I considered I liked. But very sad when he died.

I met her through work in Ditchling (where she lived) about 25 years ago. Everyone at work told me she was a nightmare to deal with but she couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.
She did so well at 103, as well as singing almost until the end.

A friend of mine worked in a shop near where she lived way back, and said she was a bit of a 'stuck up b itch'!

So I guess opinions differ.

That's what I was told at the time, stuck up and difficult to work with. Complete opposite to what I encountered, thankfully. I do remember my colleagues wondering why I received different - just probably caught her on a good day

You're not wrong, Notch and John D will be peeing their panties after reading it though.

I don’t believe that for one moment. You have a friend?

An imaginary one I suspect Mottie.

One of my favourite photos of him - you don’t see players doing this these days!
