Didn't see any of her other work, but Nursie was my favourite part of Blackadder II. <3

Top 10 character for sure, but stuck firmly behind Blackadder, Melchett, Percy, Baldrick, Queenie, Flashheart, and Prince Ludwig for me.

Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stéfano



Di Stéfano scored in five consecutive European Cup finals for Real Madrid between 1956 and 1960, including a hat-trick in the latter. He scored 376 club goals in 524 appearances, 23 goals in 31 National appearances (somehow managing to play for Argentina, Colombia and Spain), was voted European Footballer of the Year in 1957 and 1959 and helped Real win five European Cups and eight league titles.

Tommy Ramone, the last original member of the band


Tommy Ramone, aka Thomas Erdelyi, the last surviving member of the original Ramones died today at his home in Ridgewood, Queens. He was 62 (several sources say 65) and had been in hospice care following treatment for cancer of the bile duct. The time of death was 12:15pm. Claudia Tienan, his partner of 40 years, asked Andy Schwartz, former editor of NY Rocker (among many other things) to make the announcement of his passing.

Tommy and guitarist John Cummings (Johnny Ramone) first got together in a high school garage band called the Tangerine Puppets. When the Ramones formed, he was supposed to be their manager, but ended up becoming the drummer from 1974 to 1978 and producing several of their albums. Tommy was always considered the most “normal” Ramone.

Post Ramones, Erdelyi produced the Replacements Tim album and Redd Kross’s Neurotica. In recent years he’d been playing bluegrass and folk with Claudia Tienan as Uncle Monk.
