Default Stop the world - pop singer dies.

No weather forecast at the end of the PM programme on Radio 4 as it would have been an act of sacrilege to break into the hallowed words of some wittering tosspot delivering a hagiography of the greatest musician the world has ever known. To cap it all this epoch-making event was top of the news on Radio 4. Well done, Beeb, you cloth-eared retards.
I don't suppose the Met Office cared; they got the money.

On the button Tudor. His music may-or may not-have been fantastic, but I realised he was just another selfish showbiz egomaniac when he had a son and called him Zowie.

Yes, being called Tudor is bad enough, not living in Wales and sounding somewhat Croydon despite the ancestry. And I will *never* tell you my middle name. :-)

That reminds me of the episode of, “What happened to the likely lads?".
When a vicar is reading the marriage bans, Bob Ferris' middle name is
read out has Scarborough, and Terry at the back of the church goes into
fits of loud laughter.

Is it what, hughes? You've left out the comma. Whoops, no you haven't. that was a Pavlovian response - I automatically thought it was Someone Else. Sorry.

It got him some publicity that he wouldn't have got if he'd told the
press that the child was really called Duncan Jones - which he is, but
who would that have outraged?

It could go on for weeks!

The irony is that David Bowie was a big Radio 4 fan or so I heard!
