Looks like there will be one less competitor in this years London marathon.
Any memories of the very eccentric Jmmy Savile who has just died aged 84.

Re: Jimmy Saville
It's spelt Savile with one L, that always struck me as odd. I'm not sure whether I liked him or thought him a crank, but there's no disputing he raised a fecking fortune for various charities over the years. Was he eccentric but a good chap, or weird and 'dodgy'?
Think I'll go for a stroll in the trees.

I wish people would stop doing Jimmy Savile jokes. That means you, and you and you.

Re: Jimmy Savile
if memory serves (it was 33 years ago) he introduced Walk On By in 1978 or rather said "now then, now then that was The Stranglers etc" after they had opened the show
