Des O'Connor

Recommended Posts

Very surprised to find there isn't a thread for presenter, singer and comedian Des O'Connor (who turns 89 in a few months). 

 

Des is getting pretty old now, plus considering he has a 16 year old son to look after at his age I reckon that surely has to wear him down. A good candidate for 2021 DL?

Agreed. Des's time has come. I'd also suggest another iconic Desmond, Des Lynam, to join him and for Tutu to stay on the list to make it a triumvirate of Desmonds.  There should be more Desmonds than Channel Four in the 1990s on next year's list.

He looks like a bag of bollocks. Even more so now he’s an old fucker. Worth a punt.

There should be a Des O'Connor v Sandra Day O'Connor v Sinead O'Connor poll.

They've all been serial deadpooling letdowns up until now.

Despite the age disparity I'd probably still go for the mad Irish slut to go first.

Yeah, my bollocks.

It's me age, you see, it all begins to sag and your ears grow big enough to make Dumbo fucking envious.

I am certain I shouted him out in the ideas and possibilities thread earlier this year or even last year.

The last time I saw him, on the Harry Hill show, he looked old, ponderous and his voice was very weak.

He will see 90, though.

Your are not English or you are pretty old.

I've not heard that word for eons, generally, the word used nowdays is 'Slag' which is usually preceeded by the word 'fucking'.

I’m slightly losing it at the idea of all men looking down once they get to a certain age and thinking to themselves “Fuck sake, I’m so old my bollocks look like Des O’Connor”

It’s BOGOF. Though it’d serve nicely as a before-after picture.

I'm going to go out on  limb here and speculate that he is the only one of the male guests that participated in legendary Morecambe and Wise sketches to still be alive, after the sad demise of Brucie, Preview, Ed Wood3 and a few others. There were other male guests like Elton John but the sketches weren't so good. The women like Rippon and Jackson are still going.

Bough, Aspel and Whitmore are still (metaphorically) cartwheeling and backflipping.

Why does that looked photoshopped.

It almost looks like somebody cut out a pic of Des and pasted it to the photo.
