Benjamin Zephaniah - brain tumour, 65. Sad, only came across him on Question Time, but he was brilliant every time. Gone to the Dub Poetry Corner in the sky.

    Along_the_Wire …saw him speak at a festival a year or so ago, really inspirational fella who’d led a mad life. Very sad.

        Hope he paid all his Bills.

        Invite en route.

        It’s not ideal to have to look him up. Had no idea who he was. Looks like a big fan of the ol’ mince.

        Chocked on a sprout.

        The ‘Godfather’ of avocado toast apparently.

        Bill Granger that is, not SD.

        Too fattening for Moi.

        Jacques Delors.

          Tom Wilkinson down at 75. He was great in many movies, but the first thing that always comes to mind when he is mentioned is Michael Clayton for me.

            alistair thankfully I’ve not seen Full Monty since it was released, and don’t remember much of it.
