Significant people's (not celebrities) deaths

John Sykes, guitarist with Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy

Bertrand Blier, French film director dies at 85.

Witnessed Les Valseuses on the gift that was Channel 4 as a young teen, which inspired an ongoing love of French Cinema that gets regularly indulged in since. Thanks for letting me know that we didn’t have to endure a lifetime of Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie onscreen.

Hold your horses there. He’s still pulling a plough around the fertile fields of Donegal. Spray painted a whole new colour.

As a Laois lad said when we were directed to play Leitrim in Ballinamore, we might find Shergar when we’re up there.

i thought shergar rebranded as sarah jessica parker

RIP. Had a few belters

Tony Martin passed away I see the other day. Bed of heaven to him. I’m sure there’s a good friend from mayo waiting to welcome him who’s not long there himself

Probably not too far wrong. My aul fella was close friends with Leo McGirl, owned the Ratoath Inn for a good spell. The family had a colorful history between the lot of them I’d know of.

John Clarke, Marian Finucane’s husband

I’d say the two of them smoked a fair amount.

Husband I think. Did a nice documentary a while back. He came across well

Jo Jordan of Dublin Housewives ā€˜fame’

Came across very well. It was lovely to see how much both he and Marian loved each other.
