DonnyTJS Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35273252 Aw, I used to like Junior Chioce. It's where I first heard Hole in the Ground by Bernard Cribbens and My Brother by Terry Scott. along with this absolute classic That's weird. I almost posted Cribbens' 'Hole in the Ground' yesterday when someone posted about Aberdeen airport. So many classics - 'Puff the Magic Dragon' (drug references, my arse), 'Lily the Pink', 'The Banana Boat Song', 'My Boomerang Won't Come Back' and more Bernie: Edited January 9, 2016 by DonnyTJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilser Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Part of my childhood, watching Crackerjack on Fridays and listening to Junior Choice at the weekend. Seemed like a decent guy unlike so many of his contemporaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yeah. Hey, how wrong was aaid? Or, his comment could be perfectly correct and just badly timed. He might be able to use it again in a couple of months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyTJS Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Or, his comment could be perfectly correct and just badly timed. He might be able to use it again in a couple of months? But it wasn't just the wrong DJ, it was also the wrong dog. I was hoping that last night's subtle corrections would be sufficiently sotto voce to spare aaid's blushes, only for you to blunder in and call attention to them. Sad.

Charlie Endell Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 They married when she was 17 - back then I doubt an eyebrow would have been raised but today it would be described as grooming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) He was actually 34 when he met the future Mrs Stewpot - "Stewart could be a somewhat controversial figure, as in his autobiography Out of the Stewpot, he candidly admitted that he had met his wife when she was aged just 13 and he was 34 years-old. In the book he describes turning up at his future wife's parents' house: "I arrived at 7pm and was greeted at the door by what I can only describe as a 13 year old apparition! She was simply stunning," he said. Stewart married Mainwaring when she was 17 and they were divorced in 2004 after 29 years of marriage."

Orraloon Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 But it wasn't just the wrong DJ, it was also the wrong dog. Oh aye, right enough, so he did. But apart from wrong timing, wrong thread and the wrong dog he was pretty much spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Jerry Lee Lewis, who married his cousin when she was only 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
