Lord Lucan RIP
Comments
-
according to the daily mail last week he killed himself & then was fed to the tigers at Aspinal's zoo........ (Aspinal being his best friendg & he went there the night of the murder)
as an aside - I heard a great radio interview with Mark Steele last week promoting his new show, all about him finding his real parents as he was adopted from birth, He found out that his dad wars a prominent gambler in the 70's and was best mates with Lucan.......0 -
I didn't really know the background behind Lucan, just that he was a famous person that went missing. I didn't know why he went missing, so asked people at my work who filled me in. I now know the backdrop etc. But rather than get drawn in by the story, my interest was piqued about titles. I did some research and the order of titles in the peerage of England is thus
Duke
Marquess
Earl
Viscount
Baron

the moment I caught him with his trousers down, he was dead, in my eyes.0

They were one of bands that came out of Brighton behind the Pirahnhas. There are two really good albums Vantage 78 and Vantage 79 with a lot of similar bands like the Golinski Brothers. Some rubbish too but it always was like that.1 -

He's a feckin genius...
How did he come up with the idea of becoming Charlton Athletic's set piece coach and then go missing for 40 odd years!
Fair play M'Lud

Sir Chris Powell is obviously above the list.ForeverAddickted said:

So much disrespect on here
In the words of large addick - not funny0 -
Lets get this straight: Two very old men, both extremely privileged and well heeled. Both think they can do exactly what they want. Neither ever sees fit the visit The Valley. I think I know what's happened here.

That's a suggestion, sure. An alternative would be that Rodney was about the same age as Lucan, had the same hair colour and tash and dressed in that well-heeled suited style that all the Lucan pictures of the time portrayed. Then factor in that in the late 1970s TV pictures were not quite HD on 50" OLED screens and that Specsavers didn't exist ...bobmunro said:
I would suggest the resemblance is passing! I think that eagle-eyed viewer should have gone to Specsavers!cafcfan said:An old boss of mine, Rodney Galpin, was a dead ringer for Lucan. He once got spotted by an eagle-eyed BBC viewer in the crowd at Wimbledon and got arrested! This is the only photo of him I could find, when he was quite old - but you still get the likeness.

RIP. Disgusted by the lack of respect shown on this thread.2

How about we give the respect to the Family of the women he killed.

Could it be that reports of Lucan's death have been greatly exaggerated?

Would be even more interesting if the picture hadn't been pixelated & we could judge it ourselves.
But it seems like the computer boffins knows his onions so will go with that for now. I wonder if the Met will look into this. Nice little holiday over to OZ for a couple of plod.0
