Is this the same guy who provided the commentary for [[Channel 4]]'s wonderful coverage of [[Sumo]] during the early years, which has now sadly been dropped and replaced with codswallop like [[Big Brother television program|Big Brother]]? --[[User:Phil Boswell|Phil]] | [[User talk:Phil Boswell|Talk]] 11:55, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)

Yes! [[User:Pawnkingthree|Pawnkingthree]] 20:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

::Living with his brother in Australia or South Africa? [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 14:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I am moving this to the discussion page pending further veritication. Lyall's friends are very concerned that more information about this can not be found.

''He died on 25th June 2008 in Australia. {{Fact|date=July 2008}}''

if anyone can find an obituary please let us know.

:It's published in today's (Saturday 26 July) ''[[The Age]]''. I totally missed his death and this came as a surprise to me. It confirms he settled in Ireland but died of a stroke in [[Gympie, Queensland]] <small>(that's pronounced with a hard "g" and rhymes with ''wimpy'', for those who might be wondering)</small>, where his brother Andrew lives. Another brother Craig lives in South Africa. -- [[User:JackofOz|JackofOz]] ([[User talk:JackofOz|talk]]) 23:14, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

== Watson's book "Supernature" ==

As stated in the body of the article, Mr Watson wrote Supernature.

In it he describes such matters as how a blunt razor blade sharpens itself overnight if left under a pyramid.

The clue to the true nature of the contents of this book come from Mr Watson's first name, sadly. [[User:Fletcherbrian|Fletcherbrian]] ([[User talk:Fletcherbrian|talk]]) 17:17, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Correction to the above. The clue...lies in his middle name. Which he later used as his first name. [[Special:Contributions/95.150.224.138|95.150.224.138]] ([[User talk:95.150.224.138|talk]]) 10:12, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
