Industria ditat Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 5 hours ago, DavidM said: Khalid Abdullah , owner / breeder of some of the greatest racehorses ever A massive name in the horseracing world. He owned some of the finest thoroughbreds of all time and was happy to keep them in racing, not packing them off to stud at the first opportunity. Those who knew him personally, always spoke fondly about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 David Barclay, one of the paranoid, tax-"avoiding" Telegraph ownership brothers. A man 50% responsible for not just ruining a once-quality newspaper, but bankrolling the ambitions of our current Prime Minister by paying him £270,000pa for regular columns of self-serving waffle, occasionally leavened with casual racism.

Old Frightful Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Bearman said: Phil Spector 81 ( Covid) Legendary producer who created the awesome "Wall of Sound". Spent his last years within the walls of a prison. "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer."
