Yep, well into my 50s now, and there’s no chance short of time travel of reconciling anything, so yep, I guess you are right. I guess it’s illusory to imagine anything could ever have been different. After-all my mother is still alive after a fashion, and 53 years of trying hasn’t made us like one-another any better, nor resolved a single conflict… I just need to stop blaming them for what a supermassive cunt I am and move-on, perhaps start running Zimbabwe or some other job better suited to my poisonality than tat-pander to twa… er… lovely people.
Non starter I’m afraid. They expect their presidents to wear full length trousers.
Fuck that, channelling my hatred at my dead fuck of a father is what’s kept me going. He was a particularly vile cunt though.
One less ‘Likely Lad’ now
RIP Bob
Man of many talents
fuck fuck fuck fuck fucking fuck
Whatever happened to the likely lads was absolutely brilliant
Classic comedy
I saw him performing a one man version of 3 men in a boat just a few years ago. Avery funny evening given by a very talented performer.
Apparently a very nice bloke too. Unlike the cunt that played opposite him.
Anyone that can do a ‘one man’ version of ‘3 men’ in a boat, deserves some applause
“when he came back from the greenhouse a caterpillar fell out of his underpants”
david cassidy gone at 67 , multiple organ failure . very sad
He was a presence in our house as my older sister was a huge fan & besides plastering her walls with posters, she went to see him in concert at Maine Road on one occasion. The rest of us found him & his music rather anodyne but his fans were very devoted.
My sister loved him and Donny Osmond,and would go to Heathrow to get a glimpse of either.
We actually went to see him (guess whose idea that was) in Newcastle some years ago. He was just as I imagined he would be - nice guy doing all the old favourites. The audience were a bit scary though.
RIP

Where you a Hippie Guy?
No. I was only 8 when the Summer of Love arrived in 1969*. Our local chemist refused to sell me the Patchouli oil & joss sticks. You’d need to ask @stu about those far off times. He’d remember them.
*I do recall liking Leaving on a Jet plane though
Guy was running around with the Beatnik crowd in the mid 50s,so was probably settled down by the late 60s.
Jim Nabors dead at 87. I remember watching The Andy Griffiths Show and Gomer Pyle when I was a kid.
I wish MY Gomers would go the same way.
