Vincent Tan just can't help himself

Malky Mackay defends Moody but new Vincent Tan revelations rock Cardiff | Football | The Guardian
Seems like Vincent Tan's messing with the club is becoming more apparent now. It's just a business to him, and there is no sentiment apart from the lure of money involved. The club is being screwed and they're just beginning to realize it. More acrimony soon....

Obituary - Manna Dey

Manna Dey, 94, the Voice of Many a Bollywood Star, Dies - NYTimes.com
There goes another great. One of the stalwarts of Old India, the likes of which will never appear again. Scrolling down the monster list of his hits, some that transcend time include:
Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua
Mera Naam Joker
Ae Bhai Zara Dekhe Chalo
and my personal favourite, Ek Chatur Naa Karke Singar, with Kishore Kumar, in a movie, Padosan, that featured the inimitable Mehmood and the captivating Asha Parekh.
Manna Dey, 1919-2013. Still lives on.
