It was gonna happen some time.

Did she ever tell him the thoughts that surround her and did he ever look inside her head. We'll never know.

What a shame. Mr Irrelevant, lets have a tribute banner for the writer of one of THE greatest songs of all time.

It wasn't only a few weeks ago I learned that he was in a nursing home near here. Maybe I should have gone to visit. My Mrs assesses NVQ's there so I could have gone without any problem.

RIP Pierre. You can sleep in a fancy apartment, on the Boulevard St Michel.

I was watching him only the other night on TOTP 2, singing that very hit.

We do know Mr Snow.. last line of the song is ''cos I can look inside you head'

But what did he find there and how did he use his power

RIP to Mr Starstedt.

The writer of of truly classic song that will live on for a long long time.

Mind you he did know a lot about her, if it was in this day and age a bit stalkerish!

A truly classic timeless song though.

RIP Peter, but I can think of 20 Beatles songs that are better off the top of my head.

But then again we (nearly) all could!

His 'tache was a 60s classic though, better than the Fab Four's Maharishi-era efforts.

Didn't he grow the tache cos he had a hair lip or a scar or something?

Wonder if Marie Claire will make it to the funeral ( or will she have forgotten him forever ? albeit still bearing the scars deep inside ).

Wasn't there something of the George Michaels about Mr Wyngarde?

I believe he liked to make Gents toilet doors more user-friendly by drilling small holes in them - allegedly.
Known to other thespians as "Petunia Winegum", you have to admit he had style. Drove his own Bentley Continental (with rare James Young coachwork) in "Department S".

He was definitely a man of the time and the fashion icon of the day amazingly. He had the Hereford tache long before they became fashionable round those parts too.

Peter Sarstedt RIP
