    ruth bader ginsberg, 87, cancer related. member of the us supreme court for 27 years.

    this leaves an important vacancy that may not be filled until after the november 3rd election. whether the vacancy is filled by the "left" or right will be critical for many years to come. the most recent appointee from the current administration, john roberts, has confounded expectations many times already by voting with the progressives, leading to fears from some quarters that someone has dirt on him.

    apologies for political references; it concerns someone involved in politics. many legal positions in the us are either elected or appointed by politicians.

    Sadly Lee Kerslake Drummer with Uriah Heep and Ozzy Osbourne passed away this morning after a long battle with cancer. Worked with our own Trevor Bolder in Uriah Heep for a number of years.

    He actually died at the end of August, but I didn’t want to bump the old thread, Shiro Kishibe, who played Sandy in the cult TV show Monkey has died aged 71 (that show always reminds me of Chinese takeaways, as it was always on while we ate ours on a Friday night).

    Actually heard on the wireless on the way home from watching (juniors) football game...

    Had a few Gore-Tex jackets over the years, though lots of other alternatives now

    It's topical now amidst all the furore over BLM, but Monkey taught me a life-long lesson about the importance of representation. My best mate at school was of Japanese heritage and whilst he never let it get to him too much all he'd had for ages was the inevitable people singing 'Turning Japanese' at him, or probably equally inevitable various mis-attributed Chinese chop-socky references to 'Ah, Grasshopper' from Kung-Fu, or The Water Margin. Then this appeared on the telly and suddenly he had something from his parents' culture that we could all identify with and celebrate. And we all loved it, even the attempted bullies.

    RIP Shiro Kishibe - your influence reached north Hull and made at least one lad's life much better.
