All the leads dead from that now- Ed Bishop and Mike Billington died a few weeks apart ,a few summers back.

Ed lived up the road from me when he died, in a village called Atherstone, famous for its free-for-all pancake day mass football match.
Was also the voice of Captain Blue

And was unforgettable as the US newsman, Jay Garrick, in the TV version of Whoops Apocalypse!

"A man carrying a banner saying 'The world ends tomorrow' was arrested for leaking information."

Tut, tut! Don't start throwing the toys out of your cot - what WOULD Mama Turney say?

Guilty by association, eh Warren? Bit harsh methinks...

Anyways, RIP George. Top bloke in UFO especially, honorable mentions for his roles in Get Carter, The Detectives and CATS Eyes.

No you have it wrong the Krays were OK.warren zevon rip wrote:

In which way exactly were bullying psychopaths "Okay," Stevie? Is Peter Sutcliffe okay, because he loved his old mum? Was Fred West fine because he only killed those he considered part of his family?

This idolisation of the criminal, the nasty, the cowardly is pathetic. They are parasites who feed off ordinary people, and use violence to enforece their will.

I was referring to them being OK that they only hurt their own not Innocent people.

Sorry i never bought into this "only hurt their own" tosh

They were out and out ruthless villains

And the point remains, Fred West only killed and had sex with those he considered "his own." Does that make him okay?
