What a blow yesterday was......2 great men have left the rock.....Love Arthurs C's reccomendations that man kick the oil habit. Anthony a fellow Isle of Wighter was also a great inspiration to those whose iives he touched.
Goodbye, Art! I worked at a computer company that had his letter on our wall, pride of place in the front lobby (he was one of our customers, before portable computers were popular). A great man.
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison

Arthur C Clarke was one of my two favorite science fiction writers (JG Ballard is the other). Thank you for all of it, Sir Arthur; you pointed me toward a lot of marvelous things.
Two great men. Arthur Clarke died at the age of 90 and in Sri Lanka, where he lived because he wanted to explore the see and loved diving. I think he had so full life that he passed away happy and peaceful. Bur Minghella was only 54 and that's such a pity. "The English Patient" was a film that shook me and change my conception about love, I'll never forget it. RIP.

Also that he was a self confessed paedophile who liked the place for the easy access it gave him to young boys. From Times Online: "Clarke had allegedly told a newspaper reporter that he did not know how old his sexual partners had been, but that “most of them had reached puberty”. Asked whether it was morally wrong, it is claimed that he replied: “No. I mean, it depends on the country. You can’t have absolute morality.” I wonder if Gary Glitter and Micharel Jackson will pass away "happy and peaceful"?

Awww no Kev...really? Sometimes you shatter so many of my illusions.
Brief but feels demeaning in some way. Head of BBC drama, put the British film industry back on the map.
Sorry mate - it wasn't Mr Minghella I was trying to demean. I thought the questioner was being a bit contrived in their slacker approach - if someone truly didn't know who they were a quick google would have solved the problem. I bow to Anthony's importance and reputation. I hoped the bit about A C Clarke and the monkey books might have indicated I was being a bit flippant. Respect my friend.
