That's really nice. They've gone somewhere where they will be appreciated, and where the public (those who are interested) can go and see them.
Won't somebody think of the hamsters!

Neither did Half Man Half Biscuit lyricist, Nigel Blackwell. This from 'I left my heart in Papworth General' from the mid-80s:

...Down at Stoke Mandeville I bumped into Mr IQ
I said “Hey albino, this is not 1972
Stub out your King Edward and get that small boy off your knee
And melt down your fingerware and get yourself off my TV”

Jim could you fix it for me
To come down and suck out your kidneys?
I’ve got this young brother, you see
Who wants to stay alive to watch Bilko...

I was a fan of him,  Stuart Hall and Rolf Harris.

Did I just like people who were on TV? Or did I just enjoy shows presented by predatory paedophiles?

As Penniless Student Oaves we were avid watchers of "Rolf's Cartoon Time" but we'd still have been avid watchers if it had been presented by Reinhard Heydrich.

We were all fans of Rolf, of course. I remember seeing him at Glastonbury in 190-something-or-other. Well, actually, I had my eyes closed on account of the previous night's overindulgence.

Jimmy though, was nothing if not creeepy, even as a child I didn't want him fixing anything for me. Crap programme too, I'd have rather had a Crackerjack pencil thanks. Is Crackerjack still safe?

Crackerjack. Making a child stand on a box, and have them hold savoy cabbages and other things until they dropped them, whilst an audience of children bayed for blood.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I still want to play Double or Drop  >:(  (Oddly I couldn't stand the rest of Crackerjack though).




A change of perspective is a wonderful thing sometimes.  Both my sister and I wrote to Jim'll Fix it several times.  I spent a long time bemoaning that I never made it on.


Why does that seem a lucky escape now?  O:-)


Tis true that Jim himself was never massively likeable, I remember my mother telling me how I should as he was such a good man, being a volunteer hospital porter and such.


"What's a porter?"  Said I.


Hmm, not sure my mother was clued up to his portering activities.

Ed Stewart, y'say?  The man who met his future wife when she was 13, and he was 34, and who married her when she reached 17?

Hmm...
Getting there...

Quote from: Wikinaccurate
On 2 June 1989, aged 52, [Bill] Wyman married 18-year-old Mandy Smith whom he had been dating since she was 13 and he was 47 years old. According to Smith, their relationship was sexually consummated when she was 14 years old. Their relationship was the subject of considerable media attention. The marriage ended in spring 1991, although the divorce was not finalised until 1993. In 1993, while Wyman was still married to Smith, Stephen, his son from his first marriage, married Smith's mother.

Stewart is strictly an amateur sleaze.

Neither did I!  Nor Max Clifford.

Mind you, I don't like Clarkson either, so it proves nothing.
