RIP Dave Barrett.

The GWR late night phone in was a really big deal in Swindon in those days.  Always came across as a nice guy, but also didn't take any nonsense from the idiots who called in all too often.

Henry Heimlich has died.

That's brought a lump to my throat.

It's what he would have wanted.

Think she was the original "celebrity".  Famous, for being apparently famous although no-one knew quite why.  She had a lot of husbands. When a kid she would pop up on shows like Parkinson, it didn't take long to work out this was all bullshit and not part of the reality of yoof culture.

Parkinson was part of youth culture? Really?
