Jet black, but very funny and yes, really quite brilliant. (Watched it just now on Netflix USA courtesy of the 'Hola' Chrome extension, negating the need to watch my 'acquired' copy.)

And how fucking good is Robin Williams, I guess the pathos and sadness he brought to the role makes more sense now, but then again he carries the elation of the ending 100% convincingly as well.

The film is only five years old as well, so he clearly had the good stuff in him right until the end.

R.I.P. Mr Williams - gone too soon.

The thing that got me about the way this was reported by the Beeb:

Quote:
Lord Attenborough had been in a nursing home with his wife for a number of years, BBC arts editor Will Gompertz said.


Since when did the BBC start referencing its own staff as sources in articles? If someone internal knew the information, why would they credit them? Seems a bit odd.

Its a fairly standard position that they take to pad out articles when the deceased wasn't on twitter, leaving them low on material.

I've just read Richard Attenborough's obituary and I didn't realise what a thoroughly decent bloke he was.

I know people big up the dead but he sounds like he really was well loved and did a lot for his fellow man without shouting from the rooftops about it.

Glenn Cornick, original bassist with Jethro Tull. Great player, and if I remember correctly, had his bass on some kind of attachment on his belt rather than a traditional guitar strap.

Benefit is one of my favourite Tull albums. (Cornick was with them for their first four albums, including Benefit.)

67 isn't that old either :(

Nice to see a generous tribute from Ian Anderson though.

Everyday there's someone asking
what is there to do?
Should I love or should I fight
is it all the same to you?
No I say I have the answer
proven to be true,
But if I were to share it with you,
you would stand to gain
and I to lose.
Oh I couldn't bear it
so I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.
Nothing to say


Every morning pressure forming
all around my eyes.
Ceilings crash, the walls collapse,
broken by the lies
that your misfortune brought upon us
and I won't disguise them.
So don't ask me will I explain
I won't even begin to tell you why.
No, just because I have a name
well I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

Climb a tower of freedom,
paint your own deceiving sign.
It's not my power
to criticize or to ask you to be blind
To your own pressing problem
and the hate you must unwind.
and ask of me no answer
there is none that I could give
you wouldn't find.
I went your way ten years ago
and I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

Actually, it's my absolute favourite by JT. I still play it regularly and it's never lost its magic.

If nothing else, he had a great name.

No I just read the BBC website regularly - so you see things like this

Jeremy Lloyd (writer of 'Allo 'Allo and Are You Being Served?)

I'd also expect a tweet from Chinny when he sees that.

This surprised me. She looked 60 when I lived with my parents and we only had one TV in the house so I ended up watching it by default. That would be 25 years ago.

I missed this too. I just assumed that he'd taken control of the Saville mortuary hotline.

I guess it's all been going on for longer than I'd realised :(

The last thing I remember watching him in is that documentary about Dignitas where he travelled with the guy who was going there to end his life.

Very sad programme, Pratchett himself came over as a marvellous, kind, and dignified man. (As did the guy who'd gone there to die as well.)
