Re: RIP Jimmy Saville

He did the very 1st "Top of the Pops" in 1964.. I remember watching it

Re: RIP Jimmy Saville
Helluva good guy, a real unsung gem of a bloke who did a lot for others without the lime light. Sadly missed

RIP.
I remember when he did the British Rail adverts back in the 80's.

Every trip!
I dare say there a quite a few on here who can remember Sir Jim's charity fund raising for Stoke-Mandeville spine hospital?
I guess there are quite a few guys and galls (*sorry*...) in green in Iraq and Afgahnistan who are grateful to his charitable efforts.

Re: RIP Jimmy Saville
Sorry to hear Jimmy Saville has gone, he was a tireless charity worker, and brought happiness to many.
Mad as a box of frogs though, and some questions about his lifestyle that were never fully explained. I read a comment from his next door neighbour that was very odd:
"He kept his dead mothers clothes in the wardrobe, one of his many quirks. Another one would be telling my mum that he'd enjoyed her performance in a porn movie. I hope to god he was either joking or mistaken"
He also said:
"I've been Jimmys next door neighbour for the past few years.. Regardless of what might be said about him, he was a really charming and interesting guy who had time for everyone. RIP Jimmy!"

You sound a bit like the gutter snipe press who comment regularly( every 15 mins on Sky News) along the lines :
'He never said a bad word about anyone..'
'We can't find anything negative in life or about his personality.'
'He never married'
His mother was the most important person in his life'
'He was platinum blonde'
Oooh but I bet they tried, I bet they looked for the flaw to sell some copy.
A.holes.
Anyone bothered to cover
(1)
Exactly how much he earned for Stoke Mandeville
or
(2)That he may have been albino...
Is that too much like real life?
I do agree with you on one point.. RIP Jimmy.
I'll attempt to chug my way thru' a Partagas with my espresso after dinner tonite in your memory.Sleep well.

Re: RIP Jimmy Saville
It seems Jim raised somewhere between £35 million and £40 million.
If you do that , you're allowed a few quirks in the machine....

Leave poor Jimmy alone. That means you, and you and you and you.
