Thought we could do with a new thread :)

Quite randomly I just remembered that American comedian Emo. Haven't seen him for years.

Thought this was a thread about The Stranglers.

Lost interest

I'm surprised NMH hasn't been on yet

He an Emo fan?  :)

Not since the demise of Rod Hull.

Apparently Leon Trotsky got an ice pick that made his ears burn.

This made me chuckle out loud.

I had a touch of the Trotskys over the weekend

On a similar ilk I wondered what happened to Bob Carolgees

http://www.carolgeescandles.com/

Wonder what his association is.....its a bit of an odd one just to lend a name to!

He took a completely different direction & started a new music scene for the depressed young people.

Another lost comedian is Phil Cool.

Russ Abbott

I saw him about three weeks ago walking through my train carriage near Virginia Water.
He was being followed by what I assume was his three grandchildren and wife. I only realized it was him when he left the carriage and his Mrs was calling "Russell, Russell".

Not "Cooperman" then?

I'd forgotten about Russ Abbott so completely I had to google him.

Cannon and Ball have been on some really really terrible ads recently.

They are pretty forgettable.

Jimmy Cricket

There were some gems on the comedians show - Lennie Bennett, Stan Boardman, Mick Miller.

They do a Christian show now since they became "born again" chistians, my wife did the show catering for them at one show in Yeovil, arrogant pair of fuckers.

Tom O'Connor. I'll name that tune in one!  :)

The twins from Fun House?

Nookie Bear.

Plus roger de coursey.

Ray Allan and lord Charles, the krankies.

Dave Benson-Phillips.

Hale and Pace,Russell harty,Bernie winters and snorbitz

Carol Smillie

Peter Duncan, last thing I saw him in was Duncan dares.

A.L.F, metal Mickey, Timmy Mallet

And theres more :D

Billy Pierce and the guy who could crush a grape.

Legend of kids tv!

Stu Francis

most of these are about to be arrested in the saville peado thing

Damn you both beat me to it with Stu Francis! Apparantly he's doing panto  - Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs in Bolton.

I remember watching Crackerjack with him presenting it as a kid. I feel old now!

Jonathan King

He went to KFC for his 10th wedding anniversary

I'm sure half the people mentioned on this thread are actually dead - hence why nobody has heard of them for a while.

I want to know where Preston Peters is - fucker owes me a grand

rent a ghost.

Pretty sure he's a gonner as well

Here's one for the double thread - Graham Rix

That has just made my day. Doesn't get any better than that. My life is complete.

Andy Crane and Gordon the Gopher

Flojella Benjamin

Black joy!

Chase me ;)

lib dem politician

That was Duncan Norvelle

Died of an AIDS related illness back in 1987

I used to live round the corner from both of them in Ramsgate, Kent. I think they did a bit of TV when Funhouse ended and released an album and then that was about it for them.

Crackerjack ! (I can't believe I'm the first one to do this)

Treguard from Knightmare

Les Dennis

Anneka Rice

keith Chegwin

Hosts the Weekend breakfast show on Radio 2

Oh No he isn't     :D :D :D

Going on the rice theme

Condoleezza Rice

As a ghost, that must have put the willies up him.

David Icke

David Icke is still going strong. Regularly sells out lectures on lizard people and stuff.

She voiced the mayor in a (relatively) recent episode of Chuggington!

Sarah Greene.....

She did Dancing on Ice a few years ago...

Maggie Philbin

Was Russ Abbott changing carriages because of the lack of atmosphere...

Cheggers Drinks Pop...

Only recently realised that he was Janice Long's little brother.

Jasper carrot was another who disappeared. Peter Davidson and his squeeky voiced mrs too. Kids TV presenters Derek Griffiths and Bryan cant?

He had a crap sitcom with his daughter as I remember. Then the glory of Golden Balls.

He sold out Wembley arena last week. He's in this video doing "The non-compliance dance"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyhq6kxd8xU  :nod:

All the kids(?!) that were in Please Sir.

Dostoyevsky

I am also a big follower of Mr Icke. His work on HAARP, chemtrails and FEMA camps in particular intrigue me.

Likewise, he's often bang on the money when it comes to his insight into geo political intrigues. He has been exposing paedophile rings at the higHest level for the best part of a decade, including inviting Jimmy Saville and top ranking politicians to sue him for labelling them as kiddy fiddlers for many years. Just a shame he detracts from his endeavours by discussing shape shifting lizards, as his admirer and fellow conspiracey theorist Alex Jones sadly laments - "that's the turd in the punch bowl".

The kids of Grange Hill (Gonch Gardiner, Zammo McGuire, Pogo Patterson, Ziggy Greaves to name but a few)

Snap, you beat me to it :D I had a big crush on Justine Deane (I was 13 at the time), remember her? She lived on the same street as my relations in West Wickham. She did a Fiat ad quite a few years back.

http://www.grangehillfans.co.uk/schoolreport/justinedean.php

Jasper Carrott doesn't need to work as he is one of the 3 major share holders in Celador ( the company that put who wants to be a millionaire & many more on tv )

I believe Zammo has a key cutting shop in Wallington, Surrey.

Roland ( or Rowelllanndd) looks completely different.

Used to see Trevor cleaver around a bit. Think he lived in highworth.

Reef-great band

Classic one hit wonders Technohead, Babylon Zoo and Eifel 65

King Diamond. But then did he ever arrive.

Who the fuck is king diamond?

Danish rock star from the 80's. Wrote the best Christmas song ever  :doh:

Stop the Cavalry by Jona Lewie is the best christmas song ever, so that's a lie.

Ah-Ha's Last Christmas or The Darkness' Christmas Time(don't let the bells end) are the best christmas songs ever, so that's a lie.

I'm with Dave.

All X Mas songs are shit.

Mistletoe and wine has got to be up there?

The Pogues & Kirsty McCall fairytale of new york is the best ever but Stop the Cavalry is a close second.

you're all wrong, this is the best xmas song ever:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ysfQjKKi70

Had a leaflet through the post today from one of our local theatres, and advertising tickets for various comdians, one of whom was Phil Cool!!

A-ha did a cover of Last Christmas?

Best Christmas song is Nat King Cole singing The Christmas Song, 'chestnuts roasting on an open fire...'

Lee Hurst is another one

What the hell happened to Mark Lamarr, haven't seen him on anything for years. Not that I'm complaining.

i think he mostly writes now. he wrote 15 storeys high.

Sonic Youth would disagree, wants to see his stand up routine.

http://thetownend.com/index.php?topic=4476.0

are you trying to replace Reg?

Nooooooo, I like 15 Storeys high. But I think Lamarr is a wanker. The conflict.
