Sad news. When Chapman played the Leigh Folk Festival I picked him up from Euston and drove him down - a lovely man.

Sir Clive Sinclair - 81.

Really sad about this one.

Very sad news, never owned one ourselves (Atari 800XL was our first proper home computer) but lots of friends had the 'Speccy 48k' and much fun was had thanks to Sir Clive.

Early part of my teenage years was playing the speccy 48. He could have been the next Bill Gates if he hadn't ploughed everything into the c5. A bit too ahead of his time

Sir Clive also invented the mini TV and the pocket calculator. I knew him from my poker days at the Victoria Casino about 2004 ish. He was a very quiet man and didn't join in with the banter. He had a flat on Trafalgar Square he said. He said he made a fortune on some of his inventions, but also lost one on that C5. That C5 was so dangerous on the road and flimsy. He sold his computer business to Alan Sugar.

You seem to have a story about everyone that dies.

The hallmark of a funeral crasher...

Ha! Yes,My other brother (not Rob Noxious but the other rich one and former merchant/investment banker/ venture capitalist) has a very posh country place outside Bristol - part of a former religous teacher training college,now a posh estate owned by SIS.My sister in law was suprised that I knew why he called his dog Babbage*-she'd evidently had to have it explained to her.

*I remembered reading about Sir Charles Babbage-Victorian mathematician and the founder of modern computing in an old FCE reading exam text.

RIP Jimmy Greaves - a great footballer

Jimmy Greaves | Tottenham Hotspur

We are extremely saddened to learn of the passing of the great Jimmy Greaves, not just Tottenham Hotspur’s record goalscorer but the finest marksman this country has ever seen. Jimmy passed away at home in the early hours of this morning (Sunday 19 September), aged 81.

Greavsie is an absolute legend. Won’t hear a bad word about him.

*was - unfortunately. Yes, I agree. Should be an amazing tribute to him at Spurs today as he played for both them, obviously, and Chelsea.
