Christopher Reeve
Aged 52 paralized in a horse riding accident in 1995. Superman no more.
John Peel.
Broadcaster John Peel was the champion of British music for nearly 40 years on his late-night Radio 1 show. He led the way in promoting new acts, from David Bowie, through Joy Division to the White Stripes.
John Peel was, at first sight, the antithesis of many of the bands he loved. Balding, bearded, softly - if hilariously - spoken, he was more like a favourite uncle than a rock fan.
Yet Peel's uncompromising encouragement of new talent transformed the face of music all the way from hippy to house.

Fred Dibnah:
TV steeplejack Fred Dibnah, 66, has lost his three-year fight against cancer only weeks after filming his final television series. Bolton-born Mr Dibnah, who became an unlikely celebrity, spurned treatment to tour the UK on a traction engine as part of a 12-part BBC Two series.
Mr Dibnah cancelled all engagements in September after he was taken ill during filming Made In Britain.
He died on Saturday surrounded by friends and family at Bolton Hospice.

The difference between Germans and Brits.
We just spent a few days in Germany visiting friends and noticed the major differences between us and them.
1, There are 1000's of cyclists without helmets in Germany.
2, We drive on the left.
3, We have demonized smoking.
That's about it!
US Election:
The Daily Mirror lead with the headline "How can 59,000,000 people all be so dumb?
Ken Bigley is beheaded. The Sun leads with the front page headline "BASTARDS". For once WW agrees.
Turtle Soup:
A man sits down at a resturant and looks at the menu. He tells the waiter "I think I will have the turtle soup". The waiter leaves, but the man changes his mind to pea soup. He yells to the waiter "Hold the turtle, make it pea"
