Beefheart fan who it's estimated gave over 10 million to charity without harping on about it too much? I'd say that puts him in the 'OK' bracket at least.

I always liked Bob Monkhouse, too. An incredible brain for jokes. I used to like watching him on TV because as people were talking to him, you could tell he was fanning through his joke-rolodex (Jokodex?) for a related joke. And he'd always have one. What wasn't to like? 'He had a fake tan'. Well, fuck.

He's still managed to make new adverts to raise awareness of ball-cancer, even though he's dead. That's commitment to a cause.

In almost-related news, that will probably be of interest to anyone who knows the subject of this thread; lampposts in the 'student area' of Leeds (sadly, my area) are to be fitted up with movement-triggered recordings of Jimmy Saville giving crime-prevention advice. So, loiter by a lamppost for a while and you'll hear 'Now then, has you-oo my love, locked your - jewelry - up - today?'

As if it wasn't bloody noisy enough 'round here.

Quite clever.

Nope. That is all cancelled out by Game for a Laugh, Beadles About and You've Been Framed.

And Bob Monkhouse - did you ever seen anyone more smarmy? Those pleading eyes... I HATED HIM.

Is great, no?

Why is Jeremy Beadle on the cover of all the papers today?

I mean someone's died - how sad - but come on, He was Jeremy fucking Beadle!

It's not like he found a cure for cancer or created great art or anything.

He rotted minds.

I can only hope the Doctor who told him he had Pneumonia just couldn't resist the obvious - though rather dark - practical joke he could have played.

That'd learn im.




Oh and lay off Bob Monkhouse.

RIP Jeremy. Life dealt you a shit hand.
