maryportfuncity 10,013 Posted April 18, 2010 I used to like him on That's Life. Cyril Fletcher ! I know I was being silly, it amuses me! Amuses me too, particularly since the odd-oder was like some old MP and the MP is more like some perenniel television 'character'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,019 Posted September 3, 2010 I take it he couldn't stomach Cameron... Dunno about that. Being as Big Cyril wanted a return of the death penalty and spent most of the late 70s trying to encourage Ted Heath to either defect to the Liberals or set up a new centrist party, with the Con/Dem Nation, you could say Smith died happy. Or at least as happy as he could have been without a chip cob in his hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,019 Posted September 3, 2010 And surely Giulio Andreotti has to be the next political figure to die. How the fuck can a man have a stroke on live television at the age of 91 and still be pottering about 18 months later? Presumably Satan's not finalised his induction schedule yet.

I've sent out emails and everything saying he was a miss! Not sure if this is significant, but (assuming it was DDP) I didn't get an update. I sent out three batches of emails before I went to bed last night and planned to send the other three this morning. I'll explain the reasons for my cock up in the email... Bloody database. Bloody mobiles. Bloody Google... EDIT: On checking, the database is fine, it's when you add titles to names that it decides to jiggle it around. I may well consider removing 'Sirs' and 'Dames' and what not so as not be confusing to me and others... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
