Jimmy Saville dies.

Poor old Jimmy has popped his clogs at 84...
BBC News

What a shame, he used to be seen running up and down our coast in South Shields, he loved it here, I think he had an old aunt he used to visit as a child and he kept comming back. RIP Jimmy Saville

Friggin el, Jimmy's mother lived near us, Always had time for us kids, Thats a shock,
I thought the other week it wasnt a good sign being in hospital, We used to see him pushing patients about late at night, He wasnt close to anybody, He didnt want to be, Strange guy on the quiet, Very sad,

what a shame,He will be remembered by many for the work he did for charity. I loved watching Jim'll fix it.

So much for "smoking kills".

He always had a bloody great cigar on the go and he lived until he was 84 !

Good old Jim and RIP.

Janet and me just telling our two about jimmy, I was just saying about how he would glide past us lot in his white rolls, and throw a handfull of sweets out, At the top of consort terrace, His mothers house, First time we all saw real gold, his door handles were made of it, Later he would come up and kick a ball about on his way to the shop, (stanways) for his cigars, I was once gawping through the window of Appleyard & Rippon at the Rolls Royces, When he pulled up in his grey mini van, He said now then now then, which ones yours, I just laughed, He said thats mine over there, He was always buying the things, I had to wait until i was 27 for my first one, Second hand of course, He had a big influence on us poor sods, its out there get it, I told you the story of his musical air horns on his camper van, First thing i bought for my first car, Cost more than the blady car, but i had to have them like jimmy, He's cost me a lot of money over the 50 years ive known him, Worth every penny, Worth every laugh.
He also had a california vw camper, I beat him to that one, He drove to his place in glen coe,
Then slept outside in the camper, ?, He stopped riding about in flash cars early on, He realised it didnt mean a thing, So he always had something normal tucked away, Going to be intresting what he has left, I know he gave loads to charity, Hope it was most of it, Cant see him wanting to pay much death duty, He was canny,
Had a couple of txts from the old gang, Just, "Jimmys gone"

One more thing, This is Jimmy's Signiture £immy $aville, Brilliant,

Well, £immy had a good send off, BBC news showed it was packed in town, People making £immy noises when he went past on his way to the Cathedral, I was at the top of his street, Leaning on the wall, Being transported back 50 years, To when he came past then, Strange how many people i recognized from them times,
Must have thought the same as me,

Well, £immy got burried today, At 45dg angle. Saw on the news, All the mourners clinging to the hill, Like mountain goats, Bet he was falling about laughing,
Hows about that then,
On his head stone - It was good while it lasted,
