Never any joy in the death of anyone, but does his death really warrant being the lead story on the BBC website?

Yes. I'll remember him far longer than Mandela for one.

They repeated his "Anne Packer" commentary in the Tokyo Olympics tonight in one broacast, people forget she and her hubby Robbie Brightwell were the Posh and Becks of their day. They produced quite a good footballing son too, played for Man City I think. Wonder what Brooklyn will achieve..

There were 2 Brightwells that played for Man City. Ian Brightwell was the more well known, but his brother David also played for them.

Indeed, would be alarmed but it is just part of the game of life I suppose?

Usual quality today from the Sunday Independent including homage to David Coleman form the fabulous Martin Kelner.

Also a quite wonderful Palindrome in their 'New Review' supplement, courtesy of Palindromelist.net

Revered now, I live on. O did I do no evil, I wonder, ever`?

Brilliant!

Seasons Greetings all

What has our Des been suffering with? Very glad indeed to hear he's on the mend.
