I found out about good old Fluff at about 7 this morning - it's been on my mind all day to do an obit. Bless him - he was a peach and I loved his chart countdown commentary - it defined my child and adolescenthood - not 'arf! Apparently a very nice man and had no idea what an icon he was. Bless him.
He shared the same Twickenham OAP nursing home with Norman Wisdom (for a bit). They should've got together to do an act, or even better still, a podcast.
Doctor, I've got this awful problem. I keep thinking that it's still 2006. Do you think it's because I'm trying to avoid confronting my present day anxieties?
Now then, now then. Let's all stay calm & concentrate... Ready? Bob. Bob? Are you with us? Look, everyone's really sorry they didn't ask about the operation.
Oh well, great minds think alike ...
ReplyDeleteA top bloke, despite having pioneered Brentford Nylons and Barclay James Harvest.
...aaaah, Brentford Nylons - I'm sure I used to have one of their singles B. ......
ReplyDeleteNobody has yet mentioned his marvellous performance in Absolute Beginners. So I will. He gave a marvellous performance in Absolute Beginners.

ReplyDeleteBloody hell....did he croak? He was about the only thing worth watching on telly for a while there in the 50s. Him and Jack Jackson.
ReplyDeleteI modeled myself on him and still have the nylon shirts to prove it!

Betty - This is weird. So do I. What's going on?

ReplyDeleteMark my words, I don't think England are going to qualify for the European Championship in two year's time.
ReplyDeletehas anyone else noticed that the links to other bloggers have all been mixed up?
Something very odd is going on. Maybe I will wake up tomorrow and it will all have been a weird dream.
Eng vs Croatia I mean. Bob's blog has always had a tendency to oddness.
Bob. BOB (taps screen)
ReplyDeleteStray, if you can't raise him, then...
