The Belgariad was my first Fantasy book and series. I'm currently reading Belgarath the Sorcerer. He had been retired for a while, but this is sad news.

He hasn't been retired that long - his latest book came out in 2006. While the last few books he wrote were crap - "The Dreamers" series was among the worst fantasy I've ever read, on almost every level - his early books were great. He will, indeed, be missed.

Ed McMahon comedian and Johnny Carson's sidekick on the tonight show

Ed McMahon is part of a lot of my memories from when I was a kid. I remember trying to stay up late enough to hear him introduce Johnny. Now they're both gone.

Kodachrome

I will only make one argument for this wonderful film. My father was sent to Antarctica in 1956-57 as part of Operation Deep Freeze 2. He took quite a few shots using Kodachrome. For the last half century these slides have sat in a drawer. Absolutely no care was given except that they were kept in an old slide box. They look as good today as they did then. These slides have been forgotten about many times, sometimes for longer than a decade, but when they were re-found, they were always just as good as before.

Kodachrome

Ooh, bummer. It was my second-favourite film, back in my "real" photography days. Mostly Ektachrome for speed, but Kodachrome for lush colour.

Wouldn't Ectochrome be what you use to take pictures of ghosts?

Mollie Sugden

He was 97. Looking at him throughout his career I never would have thought he'd live that long. I'm going to have to take Patton down off my movie shelf and watch it this weekend.

For those of you who knew Mollie Sugden Wendy Richard died back in February.
