A UK TV and culture icon has passed away at 84.
He wanted to join the RAF but instaed was sent to work in the coal mines.
A brush with death led him to the entertainment world.
His charity works are legion and hopefully, he’ll be remembered for them for a long time.
A life well-lived, someone who really “gave back”.

RIP Sir Jimmy

Just so everyone knows…..and does not accuse me of hiding. I have made a formal complaint to Key about Moggys post……..

Don’t worry about it Derek, Lincoln often doesn’t know what Lincoln is talking about anyway.

Ah, But that’s only your opinion, Kev, at least I don’t have to Google or WikipediA everything prior to posting,
You should realise by now, we seldom agree with what we both say anyway.:)
May it long continue.
Jim.

How kind!!:rolleyes: Not that I was aware I had done any urging – merely commented, twice possibly, on the removal of the honour…….
By: Moggy C - 16th October 2012 at 14:15
And Moggy’s the man who has arbitrarily removed his Knighthood. The Knighthood was for the millions he raised for various charities. Whatever the depths of his perversion those acts of charity cannot be reversed.
Knighthood, that was apparently so richly deserved, restored at Mr Hunt’s urging.

Ah – it was meant to be humorous! Sorry, humour makes me smile/laugh. This did not. Still each to his own………….

Two humorous posts on the same page, keep it up (not forgetting this is a serious subject of course). Moggy was correct, in the fullness of time, our meandering about these subjects have no effect on the universe except exposing some of our personal opinions for others to digress about.

charliehunt and I are talking about Jimmy Savile.
I don’t know what you’re talking about Lincoln.
Anyway, well done to Moggy C. Another thread derailed and trashed. You must be very pleased.

Cross posting, obviously.

So I still don’t understand what this means…”No, But I bet he knew a few in the S.A.S. etc who did, on his orders.”.
I think you, DerekF and I are cross-posting, unless you are privvy to information about Savile, not in the public domain.
By: Lincoln 7 - 16th October 2012 at 09:46
Charlie, I realise that, but in Moggies twisted way, he correctly states, both in their own way have “Shafted” folks, Yes, I did go off thread a little, “Not a lot”;)

I have been talking about Savile, as this is what the thread is about. Apart from Moggy’s irrelevant intervention what has Blair got to do with it?
By: Lincoln 7 - 16th October 2012 at 09:38
No, Not JS, BLAIR.:rolleyes:

Jimmy Savile…??:confused:

Perhaps not directly….

That puts him on a par with Gaddaffi and other tyrants. Isn’t this getting slightly out of proportion..?:rolleyes: Yes it is apparent he was a loathsome individual but he didn’t kill anyone!
