This site - does anyone know how to set up and manage a new one? Can't do any worse than whoever claims to run this thing!

I think someone did try it years ago, but I don't think it got off the ground.

It would be a fairly popular place if run right, but the zoomer that owns it has run it into the ground for a lot of years now.

It can't be long before it is totally dead, it is struggling on life support at the moment.

Norman Tebbit arch-Tory enabler now on his Da?s bike for all eternity. 94 apparently, or is he of the Undead?

Arguably the worst of the cabal of c*nts that made up the evil hoors cabinet of the 80s.

Undoubtedly one of our edgier reactionaries will climb out of the bunker to acquit the fcuking societal butcher of the nastiness in which he was a leading proponent.

Far more important than some nasty neo-con politician, and far closer to home, I was shocked tonight to hear that former Keith winger Mike Winton died on Sunday, in his mid-70s.

He won multiple trophies with the Maroons, including three consecutive Highland League Cups (1973-75) and three consecutive Highland League titles 1979-81. A Reds connection is that the first of those League Cup triumphs saw Doug Rougvie win his first senior medal as a loanee to Keith.

Mike played cricket for Keith CC and was a very gifted golfer too.

He was a good pal (he was married to my cousin until her death 14 years ago) as well as a Maroon hero.

The town will be in mourning for one of its own.

Dave Cousins (80), front man and creative force behind Strawbs, since around 1967. An admirable writer, band leader, and performer.

Stop killing my heroes whoever you are.

Connie Francis, 87.

My Ma was a huge fan.

Remember her records being played when I was a kid and possibly one of the five reasons that I have a very eclectic record collection.

Ozzy Osbourne, 76. Lead singer with Black Sabbath.

Was it two weeks ago he did the final Sabbath gig.

I don't like his music, but undoubtedly a huge influence in music.

RIP

Ozzy Osbourne, 76. Lead singer with Black Sabbath.

I'm normally a bit "everyone has to go sometime", but this one makes me really sad. What an inspiration - musically, not necessarily as a role model!

He has left an incredible catalogue of work - both from Sabbath and solo times - that shaped so much of what came after and will continued to be enjoyed for many years to come.

Thanks Ozzy, you were legendry in my eyes (I managed to avoid the reality show period )
