I gave him directions once. He was grumpy.

Madonna devastated

Aw One of those where our generation remember him for something different from our parents (BIRDS vs The Goodies).

I do remember reading he was a bit of a rude cunt though.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Oh no

 

[Ellie]

Oh no

I saw him three times at Prince concerts. He was a mega fan.

The curse of The Goodies strikes again.

The curse of The Goodies strikes again.

What's the curse? That they live until a ripe old age?

I suspect Wendy Richard could have given him a run for his money. Easily the rudest 'famous' i've encountered - and she came up to me! Sour faced old boot.

No, that's Lulu.

We've got the last laugh though because they're both dead.

He approached me. He could barely conceal his distain. I was only 17.

At least Paul Gambaccini was nice, when he winked at me on an underground train at about the same age

When the Internet was a Bit Of Fun

 

[Berly]

I spoke with Bill at length a few times about musical hallucinations, a form of tinnitus he suffered with. He sent me a lovely card thanking me. Rest in peace Bill.

It was different times wasn't it Paul. Different times.

I knew Bill Oddie from Springwatch since I was little, and loved seeing him on the TV. I liked his slightly 'grumpy' side too, bipolar icon.
Oddie and a Goodie, may he rest in peace.

 

[octophone]

That's sad news, loved The Goodies and to have such a brillinat second career with his passion was fantastic to watch.

We're down to one Goodie.

 

[straightorbroken]

I can't remember why I didn't like him. I have a feeling he was prone to a CSF (Cilla Shudder Face) at numerous eateries. Withholding my RIP until further notice.

 

[octophone]

Well, he was biploar and wasn't diagnosed until late in life. It's hardly surprising people have variable memories.

I'll be giving the Funky Gibbon a tribute spin.
