Prompted by the passing of TBT, I looked them up and was surprised to see that he was the oldest Goodie. Bill is next in age and Graham is the youngest.

Stirling Moss has also died.

" Who do you think you are, Stirling Moss" that was a remark my Dear Old Dad made one day when I was a learner driver & was travelling a wee bit faster than was legal. Still smile to myself when I think of it.

Was also similarly recognized in our household. When my mother used to drive her two-cylinder "lawn-mower on wheels" around town as if it had six, Dad used to refer to her as Stirling Moss. It was one of his many expressions which has persisted in our familý 20 years after his passing. Even my Danish wife (who has little interest in the English speaking world and none in motor sport - as do I), was moved to make mention of it when she read it in the news in the Danish media yesterday.

Was listening to SEN , Bob & Andy show while driving to pick up my wife.

About Michael Bowden. Wonderful insights into the beautiful man he was and how his children are following in his footsteps.

If you have time listen to it.

A very enjoyable listen.

I liked the bit when Bones Richardson said that he Michael Bowden and Michael Green being University students were amused that Tommy Hafey wasn't interested in talking about anything but footy. Bones said that he was running a couple of laps with Green before training on the day that man landed on the moon. After doing their laps they went up to Tommy who was in the middle of the ground, and said to him wasn't it amazing that man landed on the moon. Tommy said to them do you reckon that will help us make the top four.

Good on you Tommy.

Greatly underrated actor Dennehy. He seemed to start getting noticed when he was older. I like the way he could easily switch between playing good or bad.

This is a shocker. RIP to all of them.

Also snap chat photos doing the rounds, ever who took them and sent them should be ashamed of themselves.

Unfortunately seems like it was the person best placed to help them, the piece of scum that they had pulled over. Instead of helping, he took photos of dying heros and then ran. Complete and utter scum.

RIP to those officers doing their jobs. Hoping that the driver of the truck had his medical episode BEFORE the accident but being reported as after. With the homicide squad getting involved this could get a whole lot more horrible, theirs one thing with it being a tragic accident, something else could be much worse.
