For my money, Kilmer stole the show from Pacino and De Niro in Heat. He had incredible range when you look back at the films he starred in.

RIP

It'll be when Debbie Harry passes over to the big stage in the sky, that I'll finally realise my youth is over.

RIP Clem, great drummer for Blondie and like so may drummers, the unsung hero of the band.

60s singer and actor Mike Berry RIP

Max Romeo. To be honest if I was asked before I saw the news I would have guessed he was dead already, but still.

The devil made him write it.

Actress Jean Marsh, 90.

Joe Thompson, former player for Rochdale (and others), aged 36. Recovered from cancer to play for Dale again after his first diagnosis of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma - and scored a last day winner to keep them in L1 - but after retiring it came back for the 3rd time last year.

That's awful. RIP Joe and condolences to his friends and family.

I had a crush on her at one time; she always seemed to wear mini-skirts. Maybe that's why I'm a leg-man. But great singer of her time, thanks for the memories and RIP.

They’ll have a hell of a job burying Clodagh Rogers given her propensity for popping out of the box

It seems the pope has popped off.

Thought they were supposed to come back at Easter.

As sad as this moment is, at least we get to hope for a repeat of this Lammy magic....

Is that real??

Well I do like to watch topical things when something newsworthy happens, so I’m off to watch Conclave, can’t think of a better way to spend Easter Monday - and best of all, after posting in the trans debate thread, at least this film is guaranteed to have none o’that nonsense in it!!!

Yes.

Brilliant stuff.
And the sort of failure to acknowledge an error that would surely make him a messageboard legend if he were to join

Didn’t JD Vance see him for a few minutes a few hours before he died?

Yep. Clearly been taking lessons from Liz Truss.

Wellens 3-1.

Former Australia batter Keith Stackpole has died at the age of 84.

Now that's a name from 70s cricket, one who would put English bowlers to the sword at times. And he was a leg-break bowler, as was I in my cricketing days.

Normally deaths on here, so just to say that Frank Skinner got married

sh*t myself when I saw his name! Thought he’d gone. I listened to the podcast earlier. Funny way to announce it.
