Well, I heard it was Nina Baden Semper of "Love Thy Neighbour" fame, a
"classic ITV comedy" which also featured that lovable character Eddie
Yeats.

It was in fact Colin "Cozy" Powell that died on Sunday.
Colin achieved greatest fame as the commander of the US forces in the
Gulf War. During this conflict he was ordered by President Ronald Reagan
to change the pronunciation of his name from "call-in" to "coal-in" so
that it sounded "more kick-ass - a bit like Conan the Barbarian". In a
similar move, the us ground forces commander Norman Shortass was renamed
"stormin Norman" and the uk ground forces commander, Kevin Smith of the
Royal Catering Corps was said to be a Sir Peter De la Billiere formerly
of the SAS.
Following his brief stint in the army, Cozy joined a number of popular
beat combos namely Deep Purple, Paice Ashton Lord and was a frequent
guest on the uk childrens tv show "Rainbow".
Cozy's former career in the airforce was the cause of his untimely death
as he crashed his privately owned Saab jet on sunday night. He also
owned a Saab car which showed his preference for European makes since in
his own words, american cars were "big, slow, noisy and take up more
space than they really merit - a bit like the american people really"
Cozy will be sadly missed by us all

in partnership with famous mouth organist Lee Oskar 'Born to be'
Wilde, don't forget.

Incidentally, BP's remote ancestor Conan Powell, famous for bestriding
the golden sands with his sandalled feet or somesuch ascended to the
throne 2300 years ago today.

who had the unforgettable hit 'Ain't got no life' in the 60's, and 'My
baby just stares at me'. Her father, Nick Semper, wrote the song 'Deep
Purple' which was a hit for Nina Tempo and Frederick Stevens.

Eddie Yeats of course later became a butler later, and wrote poetry.
