i know-it was in our local paper
i met him once and gave him a polo mint
nice fella-very small and round and very friendly

Well at least we know Prince Philip will have a little music on the other side. RIP Renato

I saved my love, too.

nooooooooooooooooooooo.........

save your love my darlink
save your lurrrrrrrrve
for summer nights with
moon and stars above.....

i know it's bad form and all that, but his jumper was hideous.

Only 55


That's tragic

Ok... this is freaky...

I have just laughed that I knew who Benson was in the RIP Benson thread...

Then I read the title of this thread and thought "oh, Renee & Renato, "Save my love my darling save my love" jobbie"

And it was!

I think I must have the uncoolest pop culture memory recall!

Hey any excuse for me to get the drinks trolley out and my killer high heels

What can I get you?

*tries to remember* Was it a large dry white wine? (Pint of)

Large Dry White wine please Cinds and some cheesey bits.

I can get you the dry white, but Mr Cinds is in bed now and would hate it if I woke him for cheesy bits, will a tube of Pringles suffice?

Well this isn't included on Wiki's dead celebrity page...how remiss.

Renato was only 55? Are they havin a laugh? Oh well R.I.P him, prayers, angels etc etc etc

Pringles will be fine Cinds.Leave Mr Cinds keep his cheesey bits for now.

Crunches on a pringle instead,takes a sip of white wine
R.I.P Renato
