Mark Tyndall from Rochdale

I am sad to report news of the death of Mark Tydall.

 I heard via Jim Stridgen that he died a couple of weeks ago of Cancer. he was 62 .

 His funeral was last week.

 I first met Mark in the mid-80's at Rochdale Turkish Baths.

 A good lad.No harm in him at all. Very sad news

my " end of the year " message :)

Last night I finished reading this cracking book . I can highly recommend. R.J. Ellory's " The Bell Tower" (2024 )

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/204024382-the-bell-tower

 A very well written and easy to read style ( think Stephen King without any of his Acid Flashbacks! ) 

It's set on Death Row in Florida Maybe not the best book in the world , but still the best American Crime Novel i have read since James Ellroy.'s " The Black Dahila" 

 Talking of James Ellroy, i include a photo i took of him ten years ago at a Talk in Manchester. More photos here of that night are
