I used to work with an ex-Wakefield prison officer when I lived up North - Bare in mind if you are in Wakefield you are bottom of the barrel scum and the worst that society has to offer, probably serving 20 years+ - She said namechecked the two prisoners she encountered in her time that made her utterly sick the most in her interactions with them, one being Watkins and the other Mick Philpott

Watkins apparently still received fan mail for years after he was put away

I read recently that he had the audacity to complain he was in prison with the worst of the worst when he got caught with a mobile phone in prison. Talk about a lack of self-awareness ffs.

They only did it cause he owed them a drug debt, not through revulsion of his crimes

Wasn't one of them a drug dealer involved in a mistaken identify murder in Kilburn?

Probably saved the tax payer over £1m had he died naturally in prison.

Rivers left Limp Bizkit in 2015 for several years due to liver disease from "excessive drinking", he told author Jon Wiederhorn for the book, Raising Hell.

"I quit drinking and did everything the doctors told me," he said, as quoted by Loudwire. "I got treatment for the alcohol and got a liver transplant, which was a perfect match."

Well this explains why he checked out early.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere and whilst he wasn’t a celebrity, Stuart Pearce’s son died in a tractor accident last week

Daniel Naroditsky, American chess grandmaster, took his own life at the age of just 29 last week. Had a huge online following for his instructional videos and streaming.

It's hit the chess community very hard, he was popular with elite and beginner players alike. He had been on the receiving end of a campaign accusing him of cheating led by a former world champion, which to be clear was bogus.

It looks like that is what drove him to do it based on some of his last broadcasted comments. What a waste.

Was it Kasparov making the accusations, I stumble across some of his views on twitter and have found his politics to be unbalanced and quite reprehensible.

It was sad seeing her with dementia. She was fantastic in Fawlty Towers, probably my favourite character in the show

By far the greatest sitcom of all time!

Ive seen her more recently in Great Canal Journeys and she's been getting older and worse as the series went on.

Bloody hell, did I dream an entire story?

I could have sworn she died and I remembered John Cleese praising her, which I thought was pretty cool, as they had divorced years before. I remember being sad about it too.

Did I imagine all that? I remember the article and everything and Cleese's comments.

Maybe around 15 years ago.
