I convinced my brother the line from the theme tune was 'she'll kick you in the knackers like B.A Baracus' and he got done when he sang it in school.
RIP

Just seen that. Likewise, a feature of my childhood. 70 is no age.

Look, I am now old. I have earned the right to make bland, nonsensical statements like my parents used to.

Late to the party (ha pun not intended) but I always think these people died years ago. It's a bit like finding out most of the cast of Dads Army were also still alive well into the 2000s, like Clive Dunn, who was just a young guy playing someone really old, and doing it rather well. |

Jesus, I pulped a load of one of his books just last week, then found out he was heavily drinking during the whole of Supersize Me a couple of days ago which explains why his liver results were so bad, and then this!

Yeah I only heard about that recently too, it's why no one could replicate what happened to him with Super Size Me.
53 still no age though.

Ahh, Super Size Me. The documentary where he developed major liver problems while dining on Big Macs and completely failed to mention he was also an alcoholic. Still, RIP.
EDIT: or what cubby said. I should refresh after having the tab open for an hour.

Ah, I hadn’t heard that before. That’s depressing.
I’m curious to know now if that means eating your weight in McDonalds is actually not that bad so long as you aren’t washing it down with copious booze. Can someone do a redo?

Didn't he film himself crying while eating the first meal?

Quite the sleazy sexual predator too by all accounts, I hope he made peace with all that in the end

Rob Burrow has died at 41. Not unexpected but very sad. Bit of a local hero round here, former rugby player for the Rhinos who’s been campaigning for years for MND awareness, the Leeds marathon is named after him.

Sad news, MND is horrible but he always seemed to be cheerful in public, fuck that disease.

I met Rob Burrow in Florida once and we talked about rugby league for a bit. He seemed like a thoroughly nice chap
Very sad news

RIP Rob. (I know we like to jokingly invoke the, "That's no age" line, but 41? That's just awful.)
And yeah, fuck MND.

Ah shit. RIP Rob. Did a huge amount for MND research and awareness with good grace and humour.

Hesitate to ask because it’s probably insensitive, but was that ever linked to head trauma?

A final message from Rob Burrow:
What a fuckin' badass.
