RIP Thread for Notable People

He'd be the bestest pope of all time, many people have said this about him previously, he's a wonderful person, probably a saint and with a jesuital curiousity and intelligence that made him the bestest exorcist of all time, the devil himself expressed relief the the donald was moving out of exorcisms and such like. A great guy...a remarkable guy.

One of my all time favourite albums

And as I've just now learnt produced by Alan, RIP

Yes cheers, it only ran for a decade from 1982 to 1992 or thereabouts, it was immensely popular at the time but is largely set back then, it never had any revivals or that since then as far as I am aware?

And I bet you wouldn't have picked out Woody Harrelson as the cast member who would become a global star.

Frasier kinda carried on the baton, there were some cameos in that from Cheers regulars also.
And having seen the recent Frasier revival, which was mostly mediocre - though some good moments with Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney from Only Fools) - probably for the best.
 
I was sitting in Larry Murphy’s pub in Baggot Street a number of years ago on a quiet Monday night with a number of other regulars when George Wendt walked through the door .
To our everlasting credit we didn’t turn as one and shout “ Norm “
He had been dining in L’ecrivan across the road and Derry Clarke brought him over for a drink , he was very affable and good company.
RIP Mr. Wendt

There was an episode of Cheers in which Frasier had his baby in the bar and was telling everyone how worried he was that the baby hadn’t uttered a sound since birth.

In walks Norm with his “Afternoon, everbody”. Quick as a light, the baby goes “NORM!”

Great memory.
 

No word of a free round from Normie.

Are you sure it wasn't the Rustic Teddy Bear instead ?



Wasn't much of a house-painter anyway. Sure a chimp could do as well.
 
Larry Murphy’s was a great place for celebrities .
Pavarotti was visiting the National stud and then dined in L’ecrivan and again was brought over to Larry’s by Derry where the head barman informed him that he was more than welcome but warned him there was no singing allowed
