Sir Edmund Hillary - the first man to conquer Everest - died of a heart attack today aged 88.
He looks kinda like Shane MacGowan here, with a longer face and (better) teeth. Anyway, RIP to him.

I bawled my eyes out. poor Jack!Abdul Latif
Mr Latif's Newcastle, UK restaurant, which used to be called Rupali, enjoyed a high profile in his last years. There is where Latif offered the famous dish - Curry Hell - free to any customer who could finish it. The restaraunt is also featured in the Guinness Book of Records for the world's longest-distance curry delivery - from Newcastle to Sydney, Australia.
He became a renowned local businessman thanks to his talent for publicity and regular appearances in cult adult comic Viz.

Emily Perry (28 June 1907 - 20 February 2008) was an actress.
Born in Torquay, Devon, England, she is best known for her recurring role as Madge Allsop, Dame Edna Everage's long-suffering, silent "bridesmaid"; she began playing the role at the age of 80.
Perry ran a children's dancing school, The Patricia Perry Academy of Dancing, for twenty five years. As an actress in her own right, her filmography is limited to her appearances with Dame Edna, except for a 1995 appearance, in her late eighties, on an episode of Last of the Summer Wine as "Mrs. Broadbent". She appeared as herself in Night of a Thousand Faces (2001).
She retired in 2004 and took up residence in Brinsworth House, Twickenham.
p.s. prayers for Carol Barnes, though I suspect she may not make it
