Ooh! Clive James, forgot about him - he is quite unwell and close to end stage.
Didn't realise Olivia de Havilland was still kicking around either.

If I don't really care if Lleyton Hewitt loses does that mean I don't really love 'Straya?
Who is he playing? -

Nah. There are obviously more important things to give a fark about. 😄
I often barrack against the Aus cricket team, coz some of them are annoying bogans. -

Some dude named Duckworth, who's current world ranking is 134. -
Hang on, I just checked, he's playing another Australian so it doesn't matter which one you barrack for.

And Hewitt takes it in straight sets.

So I still have time to get on the band wagon....

Your very well researched list could be better than mine! :eek: -
Rock and Roll is a dangerous job in 2016. Another one tips over. Dallas Taylor, the drummer from Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Jeez, I read the article in a bit more depth, and the band's bassist Tim Drummond died last week as well. Someone add Neil Young to their list

I watch a lot of docos, and yeah, heaps of actors and musos from "back in the day" died relatively young, I'd say mostly coz almost all of them smoked.
I was watching that long Dylan doco a few weeks ago (from 2005 or 2006), and he's about the only one who was in it who's still alive.

Dear Cunz.
Missing you all terribly. Not. I'm over at the TdU doing skids and [censored] in the hills. It's pretty warm over here. That's been nice. I love the theme song "Wheels in Motion". I've been to the Rapha pop-up store for the last three days running. They do coffee that's ok, and it's on the way home.
Driving a promo car tomorrow in the caravan. Should be a good day. We're going up the corkscrew in a car we don't own. SWEET.
I'll drop by with updates soon. For now.... pictures and [censored]: https://www.instagram.com/gplama/

Hi Cunz again!
Huge day in the car on Stage 3. Good mate Cycling Maven hooked along for the ride and caught a lot of it on camera. Should be a pisser of a video. People change when you hand out free [censored]. People become.... ANIMALS! haha
Went to the Zwift/Tiff Cromwell event too. That was ace. Maven got that on video too. He also asked how chicks [censored] on the bike. Top stuff. Can't wait to see the video of that too.
Big storms off the coast. I hope it pisses down all day tomorrow.
Off to watch a birdie ride for one hour tomorrow. Birdies Hour. Or did I misread that? Velodromes. Not fun.
Love to you all.
Lammy
