That is really sad, loved those guys and their program. Actually thought the guy was getting better as he had been on tele,  shocked at the news. Very sad.

Always liked watching them. Plus being fellow bikers makes it doubly sad.

RIP

This one shocked me, thought he was still practicing law up until very recently….Not the most well liked man up here, due to his introduction of the Goods & Services Tax 35 years ago, but a very well respected lawyer. Like the Donald, married a European-born beauty

Just learned about this 2 weeks ago. Mum and I really liked The Cleaning Lady, although it always struck me as a show that wouldn’t last more than a few seasons. She asked me when S3 would begin, then I saw the news.
 

He was basically the second most popular character, don’t see why they would continue on without him

Saw them in 1990 when they opened for The Pretenders & U2 at Wembley Stadium.

 

Loved The Pretenders. One of my favorites back in those days.

 

Check out the drum action in this version. Unreal.

"Dip in the road"    hoooo yeah

 

 

"Middle Of The Road"
 

The middle of the road is trying to find me
I'm standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me
Well I got a smile for everyone I meet
As long as you don't try dragging my bay
Or dropping the bomb on my street

Now come on baby
Get in the road
Oh come on now
In the middle of the road, yeah

In the middle of the road you see the darndest things
Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits
Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids
Oh man I don't mean a hampstead nursery
When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world
The babies just come with the scenery

Oh come on baby
Get in the road
Oh come on now
In the middle of the road, yeah

One...two...three...four...

The middle of the road is no private cul-de-sac
I can't get from the cab to the curb
Without some little jerk on my back
Don't harass me, can't you tell
I'm going home, I'm tired as hell
I'm not the cat I used to be
I got a kid, I'm thirty-three

Baby, get in the road
Come on now
In the middle of the road
Yeah

Steve Harley singer with Cockney Rebel dies at 73. R.I.P

RIP Steve.

My thoughts go out immediately to his brother Ian. Such a Nice chap and we spent many hours in NEP talking about all sorts of shit and particularly how Steve's "funny voice" was just a random idea before recording "Smile".

I think he lives in Hua Hin now...If I was there I'd seek him out for a pint but of course he has greater things on his mind now ..

Does he dress like that and carry a candle?.

He dresses much worse, and more often than not, he has something gripped firmly in his right hand.
