Terminator 13 Posted March 29, 2005 He will be missed later this year. Got the date, Arnie? I predict it will occur around 15 August - but, of course, it could be higher or lower than a 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest White Hawk Posted March 29, 2005 Yeah, well... I was a little the worse for wear when I typed that one up, I'm afraid. Still - would be nice to see that knighthood before he kicks the bucket. Wow! *reads back* I really did get carried away, didn't I? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted July 4, 2005 Noticed he was 48 on the 1995 list and hasn't appeared since. The man is 77 this year. Probably not a prime contender but let's at least rev up for the future by considering the all important question.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted July 4, 2005 He wasn't without a certain lack of talent. But annoying he definitely was. Larry Grayson was worse. mind you, when he took over the Generation Game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted May 24, 2006 He was up at Buck Pal twice this week. I wonder if anyone else of note was at that over-sixties entertainers' knees up? Now a great-grandfather, Forsyth has six children and lives in Surrey with his third wife Wilnelia, a former Miss World. Another thing I wonder is if the glamorous third Mrs. Forsyth was ever in any way acquainted with the late Mr. George Best of Belfast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Crossed 33 Posted May 25, 2006 Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere (it MUST have been); I did do a search but couldn't find the Celebrity Deathmatch thread. Bruce Forsyth vs. Dick Van Dyke - to the death. It seems a match made in heaven. They both tap-dance, roller-skate, smile a lot, have big chins, like the lovely ladies, have expertly-manicured moustaches, display charismatic raconteur wit and they're roughly the same age, born in 1928 and 1925 respectively. As I said, I'm surely not the first to think of this (I'm about to be embarrassed aren't I? Someone's gonna point me to the Forsyth/Van Dyke Deathmatch thread). Fight to see you, to see you... fight!

Bennett_Cerf 2 Posted May 26, 2006 Hiya, sorry if I'm posting the blatently obvious or am doing something foolishly wrong but this is my first post. I love him to bits and I'm happy he's not snuffed it yet, but surely Brucie is a red hot favourite to peg it soon? How old is he? In his 80s by now surely? I have often asked myself these very questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted May 26, 2006 Bruce Forsyth is 78 and looks to be in fine health. Can't see him going anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted December 20, 2006 Sorry to dredge this up, but I had to register my immense mirth at Claudia Winkelman on tonight's Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two show, at the introduction she said she 'would be having a chin-wag with Bruce Forsyth'. I am obviously very sad and lonely as I found this rather amusing. He's marvellous for his age, isn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted December 20, 2006 Aye, when you consider the first Mrs BF currently resides in Brinsworth House, bet the inmates there watch Brucie - still hamming it up at 78 - with thinly disguised rage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce really does put some young'uns to shame. He appears to have five times the energy I have, and I'm a mere 33. I'm utterly ashamed of myself. He's nothing short of a marvel, bless him. May he last a good few years more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
