Excuse me, but I agree with CDV that this topic is a bit morbid for a family forum, especially after the recent tsunami deaths.[V]

I had no intention of being morbid. Every year we see on the tv lists of the famous, and not so famous people who passed during the last 12 months.
I was just interested. Being an expat of over 20 years now some of my boyhood heros would be getting old now.

I'm sorry if I upsed or offended anyone.

Flyrr100, you did NOT offend me at all and I am sorry if you misunderstood me. I just felt that with all the recent deaths in the Earthquake/Tsunami disaster and this being a family forum and all, perhaps this was not the best time to discuss those who had passed on.

Same for me, especialy as the Brit toll goes up and up.
