    That is really too young to die.

    It's been announced that Burt Kwouk has died. A fine actor in many classic films
    Including Bond.

    Sad news with the passing of Burt Kwouk. Infamous to Bond fans as Mr.Ling in Goldfinger and Spectre 3 in You Only Live Twice. And of course as Cato in the Pink Panther series.
    Rest in Peace.

    I know I'm being morbid but with 2016 becoming such a terrible year for
    showbiz deaths. I'm dreading looking at this thread someday to see the name of
    one of our beloved Bonds.

    I'm certain each of the 6 Bond's will reach 100, so we are safe for another 11 years until Sir Rog turns 100 in 2027. :)

    Kirk Douglas is still alive at 99 I think.
    Doris Day still kicks ass.
    Dame Edna still is get it going.

    But yes @Thunderpussy it has already been a tragic year. Very tragic. I'm still not able to listen to Prince, it hurts too much. And that's only one of so many that have gone far too soon this year.

    As a big fan of Peter Sellers I of course know Burt Kwouk well. So sad to hear this news. RIP.

    Oh man Burt Kwouk is part of my childhood, love the Pink Panther films Kato is a immortal character. No doubt he lived a long life though I am gutted, R.I.P Kato.

    The Nunchaku and Kendo stick scenes are priceless.

    John Griswold passed away this Sunday at 65.

    He had been suffering Alzheimer since some years ago, so his wife had to sell his amazing collection: http://www.auctionsappraisers.com/asp/searchresults.asp?pg=1&ps=500&st=D&sale_no=440

    He was, of course, the author of this great book about Ian Fleming's work:

    A Bond Fan. Rest In Peace.

    A salute to Mr. Griswold. It's always sad to see those go who realize the great scholarship that can be derived from digging deep into Fleming's works.

    Sad to hear of John Griswold's death at the age of just 65. Literary Bond fans owe him a great debt of gratitude for his Bondian tome.

    Tragic news from the world of motobikes -

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/36447935

    With the passing of Luis, that's three riders to die in 2 weeks - a rider died following an incident at the North West 200 and a rider also died during practice at the TT.

    At least they died following a dream. RIP.

    Yes, more sad news. I live not too far away from where the North West 200 is staged every year. Deaths like this hit the local community hard. Malachi Mitchell Thomas, 20, from Chorley in Lancashire, died at the recent North West 200 event.

    Yes, I thought you did @Dragonpol. Well, being a Northern Irishman road racing is in your DNA.

    Sadly I've only been to it in (I think) 1998 and 1999 when I was still a teenager. Not a massive bike fan but I respect those who are and it certainly helps NI's economy through tourism.
