Just about to post the same, Will. Another guy who cheered us all up - John Challis (who played Boycie from Only Fools and Horses.)  :(
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Awwww....frig.   :'( :'( :'(

Bless..... :(

Apart from Del & Rodney...one of the two most wonderful characters from the series.

Marleeene.  :(

Aw.

But , it's rather weird... I have never seen 'Fools & Horses'... just odd clips. From late 80s to smoking ban, I never watched TV apart from recorded Time Team, or some docs.
It was my 'down the Pub' era... and any 'viewing' was late night DVDs... movies, or sets of old stuff... Sweeney, Callan... So... much of 'Brit culture', 90s, 2000s...just isn't there.
Glad that TV got others laughing... some good characters in various shows... and sad to see them going.  :(

Such a great character that he portrayed, with Boycie leading to 'Jaffa' entering the language!

Just too young to have seen him.

But this is a fantastic legacy.

Thanks very much for that Steve H, it is a really good portfolio....don't make many like him these days!

Shows that Spurs CAN actually win trophies...or used to be able to anyway  ;D

Awwww....... :(.......Pants.  :(

Alan Lancaster (72).......the 'original' bassist with Status Quo.

Saw him with the original line up twice, during the 'Piledriver' tour.
The second time I saw them.....it took my ears 2 days to recover.

Phil.




Steve J

Again, far too young :(.

I imagine that I've got the only existing copy (second generation) of that particular tour, on a ten inch reel to reel tape...... :(

The original cassette tape was overwritten by a complete twerp.
:'(

It wasn't me that smuggled in the recorder into the gig. ;)

Cheers - Phil. :)
