I was lucky enough to see "Burn This" with John Malkovich & Joan Allen at the Plymouth Theatre on Broadway 7 times. Needless to say it remains my favorite play off all time.

I heard about this through a friend. That's terrible. Still not enough information yet to know if he was shot purposely or not.

Perhaps it was an assasination...

Rappers don't get assassinated.

They get regulated. Or laid down.

^ Bloody hell, was he only 56? I've always thought that Eddie had been kicking around for decades!

Aside from Hoyer tankers, Stobarts are the only HGVs I notice. For me, this is the most high profile and genuinely sad death of the year so far.

 

[Martyn]

Hoyer tankers

 

[Ian]

^ Yeah, I was going to set up a topic several years ago called "CFers everywhere!" for people to post photos of signs etc that remind them of CFers. For example, the Hoyer tankers and the Leighton Road sign in Southampton. I couldn't be arsed in the end, but I may do it one day (unless a goon gets there first).
