    Not much scope for punnage but, apparently, Lindsay Graham, the not-gay warmongering US senator.

    I thought he was already dead. Wheeled out in a body bag last week? Not announced as he still needs to vote on something

    His wife has gone off to China for philanthropic purposes and definitely not so that they can't turn off the life support until 1-August (until then a replacement can be appointed or something).

    That’s a really sad one. All evidence seems to be that he was a truly lovely man.

    A local hero. A GC, as they say. In Event Horizon, he insisted that a future Australia would have a flag recognising the aborigines instead of the Brits.

    From a bloke on the Twatter...

    I met Sam Neill once boarding a plane. We were stuck in line and i was like "ok..say something..fk do it.. do it...do it" in my head..

    He turns once glances at me... smiles and nods... like "yeah i know you know who i am.." and i just go quiet...then he glances back and just says "ask away..."

    I did the usual "omfg love your work blah blah" and then he asked what I did and then just went into this rathole of how tech and creativity fascinate him and how people do things with computers and then we ended up talking about sheep properties and my life living in the outback... then he splintered off to his seat and mine..

    Then we get to our destination, I get off and my wife is waiting for me with the kids and he gets off after me as he was ambushed with people wanting selfies... anyway I tell my wife "guess who's on the plane" and so she now wants to wait around, he then walks past us, nods at me and says "nice meeting you Scott" and continues..

    The look my wife gave me at that point in time was like "WTF DID YOU DO.."

    Anyway. All i remember was here's one guy who could have just waived me off took the time to chat about nothing and still somehow gave me the "you matter too" vibe.

    Legend. Genuinely sad he's passed.

    When everything feels like it's a going to shit, a nice story is quite the tonic.
