Sven Goran Eriksson has lost his battle with cancer. I say “lost” but I think he probably wouldn’t have seen it as a loss, more an opportunity to encourage people to live life to the fullest, and grab each day with both hands making the most of every opportunity. One thing I’m happy(if that is the right word) about is he was given the opportunity to lead out his favourite team at Anfield in his final days - it shows with all of the tribalism in football, it is actually a very close nit community.
Fuck cancer, it’s a horrible disease. But people like Eriksson go a long way to demonstrate there is life after diagnosis.

I'm not even a football fan, but I just read this and it really hit me hard. I'm not good with death. Well, let me rephrase Close friends/ relatives, I feel nothing Celebrities, I feel like I'm drowning in a river of tears. I'm not crying at the moment, thank god. I need to pull myself together and eat dinner

Sergio Mendes has died. No, I didn't remember him either, but I do remember his song Mas Que Nada. I've always rather enjoyed this kind of bossa nova music, especially sung by Astrud Gilberto.

I once worked with a guy who did a fantastic impression of Darth Vader as if they had used Dave's voice.

He never said "Luke, I am your father."
Quibblry aside, it's impossible to imagine anyone else as the voice of Darth Vader...
RIP to a genuine legend.
