chrisg 630 Posted September 14 t was a race to say what took my mum, the death certificate list went damned near a page but officially pneumonia first. Either way she really did not want to go but in the end her body left her no option. If you believe in an after-life, personally I fence sit, she probably did not exactly make my dad's day, assuming they wound up in the same place ... Great lady in many ways, easy to live with, no...

Rybags 1,116 Posted September 16 That's sad... they're a legendary band, one of my favourites of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scruffy1 797 Posted September 16 noooo... the cars debut album still gets a loud airing here frequently, and they were very much a band of their moment in the late 70's the rest of their work never quite grabbed me the same, but i guess that's how novelty works i must say i didn't think he would be that much older than me, but i guess i was still a youngster when they erupted onto the international music arena rip (and "bye bye love") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rybags 1,116 Posted September 24 Only young too... https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/star-trek-star-aron-eisenberg-dead-at-the-age-of-50/news-story/0af6a5a8a8e47bcae8811221a9629e7d There's not been a cause mentioned but I would suspect it might be kidney related. On another note, it seems News.com is the only of the main sources that bothers to have a proper dedicated Entertainment section on their news page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
