Port Said Red Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 2 hours ago, Super said: Insane. What a legend. RIP. A few years back they gave her an episode to herself, like an Alan Bennett monologue or one if those Talking Head things. I am not a fan of any soap opera but I thought it sounded like an interesting idea, so I watched it If you get a chance to see it (maybe as a tribute?) I can recommend it, it's an acting masterclass, she is simply stunning in it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) The news of Nigel passing away came as a real shock to me. I love watching Speedway and Nigel was the main commentator for the Grand Prixs and British fixtures. He knew his Speedway. He loved this sport. He was also a fantastic commentator.

Im still in shock with this, a lovely man I had the pleasure to meet on a few occasions through my involvement in the sport of speedway, the speedway world and others have a major loss to deal with. I can't speak highly enough of the man 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad, although I understand he had early onset dementia of late. I remember Mike, long after his prime days, coming into our village pub and just thrashing everyone at 301, round-the-clock and cricket etc, but not being in the slightest bit flash or arrogant about it. It was a rare evening that one, and I was happy to buy him a pint. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
