And of course...
RIP Peter Ustinov. I don't get upset when celebrities die, because I don't know them, and what's the point in getting upset over someone you don't know dying? (unless of course it's lots of innocent people being needlessly killed, but that's a different matter to rich old men and women passing away of gout or whatever)- but there was a definite touch of sadness when I saw the news last night that Ustinov had departed this world. A big man in every sense of the word, he was revered in Europe for his talent and intellect, and loved in the UK for being funny, which says a lot about us. If there's a heaven, and I doubt it, I like the idea of Ustinov quaffing cocktails with Niven and various others whilst regailing everyone with outlandish tales and insightful thoughts in equal measure.
