Direct any legal action towards Paul Bearer

I think Grim Reaper is more accurate.

Pointless bump of arguably pointless thread....

 

Now recovered, Dave had Covid in the summer; his tale of trying to go for a piss sounds worthy of an OFAH scene.

 

"I crawled to the bed. The muscles weren't working and I used the bed to try and stand up so that I could go to where I wanted to get, and also get back into bed, and I couldn't…

"I tried for about a quarter of an hour, trying all sorts of things to stand up so I could walk about.

"My arms wouldn't work and my legs wouldn't work, so being a very creative and inventive person, I thought, how will I get from here to the door?

"You know when you see a walrus if you watch David Attenborough, and they walk on land, they crawl on land? That's what I did.

"But in order to do that, I had to use my head. So now I'm lying face down on the ground, and in order to get to the door - and the arms really weren't working and the legs weren't working - I was using my head to drag me to the door.

"So just as I got to the door, the door opened... and it was my good lady wife and she managed to help me get back into bed. But later on the next day, I got carpet burns all down on my forehead and across the top of my nose."

 'Health update' from David Jason.   Moving well, but not saying anything.

Says his memory is not what it was and is why he won’t be able to achieve his dream of performing at the national theatre. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13974983/David-Jason-health-update-change-career.html

I feel like Jason’s reputation has gone down considerably in the last ten years. Is it just me and my social circles? I only ever hear people saying negative things about the man every time he’s in the media. People seem to think he’s this whining old fossil now and they also think he’s “dodgy”. A mate of mine suggested recently that OFAH is starting to fade from public consciousness and it does seem that way.

Think a lot of it is to do with rumours about his personal life and possibly being a Paedophile and how him Nicholas Lyndhurst don’t seem to get on anymore. I remember at the time it came out about Russell Brand personal life on channel 4, there were people thinking stuff about David Jason might come out too. Apparently according to papers the police are after other really high profile people and celebrities but because of who they are and power they have they keep getting away with it but all will be revealed after their deaths, be interesting to see if anything like this comes out a few months or a year  after Sir David Jason dies or if it’s just cruel rumours. I hope he is innocent but nothing would surprise me.
