I actually knew who you were talking about before I clicked, not a great loss to the entertainment industry. One can but hope that the devil is black whistle:

The BNP will be saddened by the loss of a spokesperson I suppose. On the plus Bernard did not have any visible tattoo's on neck and he looked comfortable in a suit.

No need to apologise!

I remember him when I was a kid on ?The Comedians? and thought he was funny at the time but then I was about ten. Most comedians are better ?live? than their somewhat neutered TV performances tho.

BTW your emoticons should work now.

You are right Barman, I liked him in the comedians too,is it true I wonder that as a comedians popularity wanes they have to use the shock tactics to build up an audience again?

As you said, I don't think I have lost a friend

I hated him from the day I took a bloke with MS onto a plane only to hear Manning shout " take him off, he's a liability ".. ( he wasnt referring to me )
