...Dammit

...Ian Richardson's just died. No fair.

Great actor, fantastic deadpan voice (yes, he was the perfect pick for Death in Hogfather) and really? only 72? Thought he was older than that.

Papers full of Anna Nicole Smith's death. This is someone I do not care about. Even though she's had a bunch of knocks in recent months. But gah, can you imagine going out with your eulogy being 'former Playmate/Playboy model'? Every single headline I've seen has that in the title. 'Hi, no matter what else I've done with my life, the label everyone automatically puts on me is that I posed nude occasionally.'

Tbh, it's not like she did anything else. And 'former playmate' still sounds better than 'golddigger who married ancient man and then spent ten years after his death in court fighting for his money'.

Shorter too.

NOOOO! Ian Richardson! Just about to start filming for Midsomer Murders too!

I'm far more upset about Ian than about Anne Nicole Who?

Sad about Ian Richardson :( He was marvellous. At least it was quick and apparently painless.

Meh. Glad you posted that, because obviously nobody else did, and if one comments on ANS-WTF one is branded as a callous monster. RIP Ian.
