Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted December 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 7, 2018 RIP. Did the "Tour De France" theme Channel 4 used for years too. Sometimes they go retro on the ITV4 version and play it for a bit. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 7, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 7, 2018 Not a household name but Peter Boizot passed away. He founded Pizza Express so it's a good chance you've eaten in one of his restaurants (well, they're a Chinese company now but you know... he's credited with bringing pizza to the mainstream UK appetite. He was 89! I believe he was also involved with Peterborough United, a 'foot-ball' team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 13, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 13, 2018 Genuinely gutted about Pete Shelley. "Ever Fallen In Love" is one of the all-time great tracks, and "Homosapien" was a staple part of my DJ set for the last year or so I was still at it. I saw the Buzzcocks at ATP back in around 08/09, wasn't expecting much, and they absolutely killed it. One of my favourite gigs I've ever been to. Â My favourite story about Peter Boizot is from how he used to live in Jersey. A friend of mine, who passed away earlier this year (in his mid-60s), was also from Jersey, but knew Boizot from drinking in Soho. IIRC, the first Pizza Express was in Soho, the second was in Jersey. At some point, he was over visiting the Jersey branch, and the taxi driver mentioned that he was sad that they'd stopped doing dough balls, and when Boziot got to the restaurant, he insisted that they start serving them again, so for years you could get them in this one branch of Pizza Express but none of the others.

One of my favourite gigs I've ever been to. They headlined a night at the Godiva festival (A free outdoor one in Coventry) a few years back and everyone I spoke to agreed they were incredible and the best band of the weekend. Â Even a brilliant set from the Happy Mondays the following night didn't top it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Days used to get repeated all the time, as did the other HD spin-off, Mork and Mindy. I've never seen L&S on either terrestial or sattelite TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with Big, Awakinings (a film I can’t put myself through as an adult) and A League of their own. Great body of work that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 22, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 22, 2018 Fuck, Paddy Ashdown gone. Worked with him quite a lot when I was a caseworker for a Lib Dem MP and he was one of the nicest men I've met in the sordid world of politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Lovely story. Â My family knew Paddy quite well, met him a few times over the years. Â A completely genuine chap, kind and interested even though he could probably snap you like a twig. A great loss, if only because there aren't many politicians of his substance left.

Magnum Milano Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 June Whitfield passed away today at the age of 93. Â Forget Absolutely Fabulous (and I'm a tad too young to remember Terry & June) so will always remember her most for her role in one of my favourite Carry On's, Carry on Abroad.
