I was flicking through the news channels last night and happened to catch a few seconds of BBC Parliament where they were showing the House of Lords from earlier in the day. I saw Norman Tebbit sitting on the red benches - I thought he died years ago, maybe even in the Brighton bombing.
I then saw Betty Boothroyd!

It also seemed to have shrunk as well. Must be the cold weather etc etc.

We've got a round building at work. No-one wants to be located there because the rooms are awkward shapes.

I don't think Sheffieldshire has any round buildings. The registry office used to be round but they demolished that to make way for St Paul's Tower.

Mind you, I can't think of any other cities* with an octagonal building next to a triangular one
* go on, prove me wrong.

I've been in both.
And I've been down Milk Street, which runs between them, and leads to Stygian subterranean car park majesty.

That is a surprise, I thought he went out with the likes of Ted Moult.
Hold on though, did he not appear with Lee & Herring in an episode of Fist of Fun? Or is it just the Rod Hull references in the other thread that have made me think that?

Didn't Ted Moult top himself?

Apparently yes, 'after falling into an unaccountable depressive panic about his career.'

As Buttertubs has pointed out, Chris Rea is still alive. I could have sworn he died ten years ago.

Judging from the picture Butterpops posted in the other thread it would appear that he did.

Wilford Brimley of Cocoon and many other films fame, is still alive aged 85!
I'm sure he died about 15 years ago.

If I remember rightly, in that film he was living in a retirement village for "older" people, yet he'd have been just 50 at the time.
