The RIP thread
Microwave burgers.
Or winning as I like to call it.
Franz Beckenbauer has passed away.

First Bobby, now Franz. I wonder how many are left from the 66 final besides Hurst.
The person to have won the world cup both as a player and manager. Icon.
Shame that scummy twat from Scotland isn’t here to besmirch his name with snide smears.
RIP Franz, ‘Take me Out’ was a belter
Does anyone miss Cankles?
Thought not.
JPR Williams. Absolute ledge of a Welshman. Very sad news.
Saw that, very sad.
Annie Nightingale brown bread. Her surname should at least get her some additional perks upstairs
RIP Annie Nightingale. Used to have a half decent radio show back in the day.
83, fair play, that’s a decent innings.
ScottBailey bit before my time!
ScottBailey Amateur hour pal!
alistair caught the odd show of hers after the Essential Mix back in the late 90s
Didn’t realise she was that old, though could have her confused with another female presenter.
They’re all the same aren’t they?
think she used to present an early morning show at the weekend, possibly on before Chris Coco and Rob Da Bank
Annie On One or something.
Not to be confused with Annie Smack
Bet she kitchen sinked it right up in her time.
Mixmag caner of the year in 2001 (when she was 60 - respect). Had no idea she was 83.
The thought of having another 15+ years at the coalface (not a euphemism) genuinely excites me!
ScottBailey was she not a type of pioneer for the sort of breaks which became popular in 02-04 ish ?
She was indeed.
Ed to come crashing in with something about the Plump DJs in 3, 2, ……
Actually, at a stretch, I’m a Plump DJ
I was thinking of Annie Mac
Mad_Cyril Jaysus wept, MC
RIP indeed. The great thing about Annie was the amount of music she supported over the years, and the variety of music she played in a BBC radio show for the many years she was there. She was like the pirate radio DJ on a mainstream station based on what she played. She supported electronic music hugely, and I loved her show (whenever it was) after the essential mix.
How I wish I could love a job until I was 82 and then pop my clogs. Annie you are a legend
Good excuse to post this
As it was on her show, obviously
