I heard heart attack in Rome. I didn't realise he was only 51. The Soprano's is my alltime favourite TV show. RIP. Fantastic as Tony Soprano.

Yeah sad but he aged a lot even just during the Sopranos. Not my fav show but in the top bunch, definitely my fav tv actor though. He was amazing as Tony. RIP!

Mick Aston Archaeologist and Broadcaster.

People have criticized Time Team but it's probably done more to promote archaeology and the appreciation of local history in the UK then anything else.

Mick - He knew his stuff.

Has no one mentioned Corey Monteith on here?  For reasons I still don't fully understand I watched the first couple of series of Glee and used to like Finn (not in that way).

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
