Dear Hod,

But Mom - he started it. Very Happy

And actually, shouldn't it be "Sir Jimmy Savile?"

Don't be downcast, grahamb - I thought it was quite good, especially given the reference to Phil_K's post.

'Course I ain't no sheikh Very Happy

Why is it you can't get a thread locked when you want?

How much is an ice cream in Seoul? I only paid 15 groats at the Jubail Industrial College in Saudi. I prefer Bibimbap, though.

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill?

We decided to have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to my friend Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word last to me, and I was Dead, I say...

Dear grahamb,

Not this particular gentleman, I hope:

"Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game."

Regards,
John

Any skeletons in Keith Moon's cupboard, John? He must've known about Savile.

No room for skeletons in Keith's cupboard, Hod; it was full of empties. Crying or Very sad

Dear Hod,

Keith Moon? Don't know. Why don't you start an RIP thread about him and I'll see what I can dig up (so to speak)? Very Happy

Regards,
John
