Oh dear

It seems that that wine-imbibing chef Keith Floyd has died.

(His death is much more affecting to me than Swayze's, having watched many, many more hours of him.)

...that was a somewhat bizarre way to learn Patrick Swayze had died...

Oh, I'm sorry. PS's death seemed to be all over my FL, but I suppose that announcement was only a few hours earlier. KF, on the other hand, is a greater influence on me, and I wanted to mark that.

Swayze's death wasn't unexpected - he was known to have pancreatic cancer, and that's one of the ones where unfortunately very few people survive for very long. Floyd, on the other hand, has sort of faded from our screens, and I don't think many knew he was actually ill. (Though given his notoriety with the bottle, a long old age did seem unlikely.)

Well, it's just this was the first post /on/ my FL, and I've never heard of KF, so it was just sort of weird.

And yeah, not unexpected. Just an odd way to learn it. :)

Oh, and an OTT PS - currently enjoying Pretender's Crown. Just how many genres are you trying to mix?

All of them. A hundred years from now it'll be Lit'rachur. :)
