Although tomorrow is March, it must be time for another 'Notable Deaths' thread!
I can't remember who died in the past months since the year began, but anyone can kick off anyway! :wink:
 
For those of you new to this thread, web links should be included in all posts.
It's nice to know who you are referring to, if someone hasn't heard of the person (although Youngster Joey did give us more than just a name). :wink:
 
Peter Harvey, 69:

From his Facebook page...

So weird. I bought his latest book - Ash - the other day and was talking to the other Phil at work (I'll let you decide for yourselves if he's real or if he's just a facet of myself I talk to all the time in my broom cupboard) about him.

He's not my favourite author by a long way, but some of his books are favourites of mine and while his writing was often dreadful, the ideas and atmosphere made up for it. I guess he couldn't be that bad as I've read every single one of his novels :lol:
 
I got his first book The Fog when it came out then bought The Rats, The Lair and Domain, my favourite was The Magic Cottage as the house he lived in was very similar to it and the plot vas very weird, he live in a little village called Henfield West Sussex, which was about 10 miles north west of Brighton.
I was convinced The Survivors was the plot for The Swarm though as it was based locally to Thorpe.
 
You say that as if it's a bad thing? Of course, myself, being born in 1995 I knew none of her leadership but I have heard many good things (as well as bad). If it wasn't for her we would likely not have possession of the Falklands, we would have been blown to bits by the USSR too. Of course, school children would have still had free milk, and miners would have houses and jobs, but yeah.

RIP Maggie, RIP.
