    As a child I could never understand why he didn’t he zip the obnoxious fluffybunnies mouth shut and rip of the tab . Also the lbgt I/furry community would have a field day with that bear if it was on tv today.

    Looks like he was just as nice off camera as he was on

    Rainbow host Geoffrey Hayes dies aged 76

    Rainbow host Geoffrey Hayes dies aged 76

    Presenter of long-running children’s show and actor in Z Cars dies in hospital

    This has done the rounds on the interweb for years but funny as fuck. RIP Geoffrey. I'm 100% convinced they all ran a train on Jane after this episode.

    That's hilarious. I'm ashamed to ask if that was real or a pisstake. It was the 70s, they probably could have got away with it

    Fairly sure it was a pisstake that was never aired. Even the 70s had some form of standards haha

    Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris would disagree

    Bill Cosby too although he was better at it in that he didn't get caught for ages.

    My understanding was that it was filmed as a joke to play at a work get together. Certainly never went to air but found its way to the public.
    Still funny as fuck.

    I'm with @jegga on this one. Not a particular fan of her views, but she did what she did honestly and openly, and provided good quality challenges to keeping Councils and CCO honest. Good for her for standing up for her beliefs.

    @nzzp John Banks and her showed a lot of class in her final weeks . Interesting her partner managed to remain fairly anonymous all this time.

    Maybe not the bank balance, unfortunately. From just last month:

    Maybe he’s only mostly dead. Take him to Miracle Max and he’ll be right as rain.

    Ricky Jay - probably the worlds best close up magician ever.

    If you can find it, I highly recommend the recording of his broadway show "Ricky Jay and his 52 assistants"

    *edit - A full movie lenth documentary about him is on youtube at bottom of this post

    He flew dive bombers off a carrier during world war 2 and was shot down once .

    That’s pretty bloody badass imho .

    Also responsible for one of the all time greatest sledges in response to the amoral Ted Kennedy

    His speech attacking George Bush senior in 1988, for example, would have been deadlier delivered by someone else. “As the [Reagan] administration secretly plotted to sell arms to Iran,” he asked, “Where was George?” Republican bumper-stickers replied: “Dry, Sober and Home with his Wife”.
