Henry Heimlich has died.
That's brought a lump to my throat.
It's what he would have wanted.

Think she was the original "celebrity". Famous, for being apparently famous although no-one knew quite why. She had a lot of husbands. When a kid she would pop up on shows like Parkinson, it didn't take long to work out this was all bullshit and not part of the reality of yoof culture. |
