Fair comment. But this just seemed kinda raw. Someone who was a 'real' leader of the free world (unlike the current klutz-in-chief) gunned-down in plain sight. And here was the car in which he took the bullet. And when I saw it, it was only 30-odd years after it happened.
Hard to describe, but it felt wrong to me.
Bobby Ball passed away at the age of 76. Covid related according to reports.
RIP.
RIP.
Wales, British Lions, and Llanelli legend JJ Williams has died at age 72.
One of the greats of an era of Welsh rugby that will always be remembered by those that witnessed it.

It always seems to be the better half that dies first in a double act. Bobby Ball, Eric Morecombe, Ronnie Barker, Orville.
Still around but suffering badly from piles!
wasn't the case with Rod Hull, he died when he fell off the roof but emu escaped with a broken neck.
Hah. R deC and Nookie were also on the bill at that Cannon and Ball Show.
Not very PC now, but funny at the time.
That was the first time ever that a draw between Manchester United and inter Milan caused hull to go down
I knew somebody who saw R deC and Nookie live (this must have been late 1970's) Apparently one of Nookies eyes popped out and landed underneath the chair that R deC was sat on. He was scanning the stage for it unaware it had settled beneath the chair where he couldn't see it.
The audience were howling and R deC was getting more frustrated by it - she said, no doubt hampered by the fact he was already half cut when he (they) took to the stage.
I did. You ignored me you twat.
(PS. Having now consulted The Oracle, she reckons it was '82?).
What a star .

James Bond snub: Sean Connery’s devastating blow as milkman exposed
SEAN CONNERY would go on to become one of the nation's most beloved James Bond actors - but before his fame, the star was working as a milkman where unearthed accounts reveal he was dealt a crushing blow.
Obviously Sean Connery was the absolute personification of James Bond. But one of favorite roles for me was in Last Crusade as Indy's dad. We all know his attributes as a serious, action film actor. That showed just how versatile he was, that he could take on such a comedic role and make it look so good just shows how legendary his acting abilities were
If anyone has ever heard/seen the Eddie Izzard sketch on Noah and his ark (played by Sean Connery) I can just imagine him doing it to perfection.
RIP Sean Connery. As an actor, brillaint - obviously as Bond but you're right on all those other counts.
I've never seen The Man Who Would Be King but keep being told its a cracking film and to make the effort.
One of my absolute fav films has to be "The Hill", he was brilliant in that too.
