Ray Liotta checked out. Only 67, I thought he was older.

I'd have sworn he was ten years older.

They took his knighthood off him. Amazing decision when you see some of the degenerates that were retained on the honours list.
That well known Tory supporter Jimmy Saville retained his knighthood up until his death.

OBE not a knighthood. Removing honours is rare but it does happen usually after a criminal conviction as this article shows.

I’ll have to rein in my emotions.
It’s likely to stirrup some sadness.
His death was like a colt from the blue.
I’ll shut up now…

That's 3 fatalities already and the serious racing has just started.

Covid saved several lives at the IOMTT

Disappointing how low down the news bulletin this comes. What are three deaths in a minor sport compared with 'Stressful flight cancellations for NI travellers' (on the BBC NI News website it only just makes the first page)

Was checking it out. Covid years aside, 1982 is the only year since 1937 with zero fatalities!

Probably some Americans looking in saying when are they going to ban people hurtling around an island at 180mph with only Stone walls as crash barriers.

It's their own choice at the end of the day but can anybody else name a sporting event where there is a 99% chance that somebody is going to die?
