*Bob* Wrote: Whenever somebody kicks the bucket you're in there with the obituary, like a rat up a drainpipe. So to speak. How utterly charming. The "much-missed" "bob" returneth...with an insult. So to speak.

Why not EDF's own Ted Max? He's young, charming as well as, obviously, funny and polite and he would have anyones "arse on a plate" the moment that they stepped out of line. The poetry would be worth the Licence Fee alone ....

Obviously there are many "Budgie" fans out there. "You vile, evil creature Budgie, you disgust me!...get out of my sight.!"

Is he still in bed at 10.16, the lazy xxxxxx. Thats the problem with our great Country today. No energy, No zest, No vitality.. The poetry is good though.....

...thats pretty much the final curtain drawn of all the major figures behind the popular "Budgie" Series. Budgie starred former popstar Adam Faith with Iain Cuthbertson as "Charlie Endell"and was produced by ITV company London Weekend Television and broadcast on the ITV network between 1971 and 1972. The series was created by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall . The show was produced by Verity Lambert. First Adam Faith and Willis Hall went, then Verity then, this week, both Keith and Iain in a cruel double blow to the Entertainment Industry. "You DISGUST me Budgie Boy!!"..Charlie Endell,Glaswegian gangster....

Where's our resident Poet Maxie now? Still living the dream? Having a dream within a dream? Arise from your lazy slumber oh! ever so "polite and funny" one. Its nearly 5.30AM and there's a big,wide World out there to explore, so what are you doing now? Dreaming The Dream? Plenty of time to sleep and dream when you're dead Gerontius....B) tls exeuent to begin his morning studies...

f.p.

I wish I had never seen this thread as this has just happened in my local Marine Shop. I enter and ask "Where's Brian?". "Dead!"...went into hospital for a hernia op. and, apparently, they gave him the wrong medicine ( I'm told) and he never came round. Same age as me (55) and like most Sarf Londoners he moved out from Bermondsey 20+ years ago, so we had much in common. Fit as a fiddle when I last saw him 5 months ago. n.b. Lesson about "Don't judge a book by its cover" as well. When I first met him I thought he was the most obnoxious and rude Shopowner that I'd met after I asked him about an "incident" near his shop. I got the proverbial "flea in my ear" as,I later found out I was the 100th person that day to ask him! and not buy anything. Got to know him and told him what I originally thought of him and he said "What do you expect? The road was blocked off, I took no Business and yet hundreds came in, only to ask what had occurred!". We got on well after that and now he has gone so suddenly.

Can't we all just get on Guys?;-)

Incredibly appropriate for this thread BBW, I'm afraid. My Jamaican friend, who lives with me, was telling me again only last night, about the profound effect losing her second nephew ( out of 3) to a Gunman in Jamaica has had on her. She has 2 Sisters, the first of which lost her Son to a 16-year-old and the second Sister lost one of her 2 Boys to a 15-year-old who pumped 16 shots into the deceased. These events have changed her life and her, considerably, as she is much more mellow and reflective now. Edited to say that both boys were just 17 years old...

Pie. You can eat the "Humble" version of this but you try eating Humble Crumble, don't work, I'm afraid....

Sounds like you don't keep in touch with this bird, Wolfster...

You are one busy geezer Oz. 3 months and still no reply from you, on a thread you initiated, as well.... In fact that you haven't replied to date, probably means you won't now or in the future, especially with your glorious Summer about to begin:X. In fact it probably means you have forgotten about this thread and could care less if it is still here. In fact it probably means that you will never see this note and I am talking to myself. In fact it probably means that I should go now as this whole comment will be meaningless. In fact I will go now....sorry to have bothered you "Oz" p.s. Forget the last line as you won't see this anyway...

So far one must say this has been a disappointing response Loocher, what a gwarn?

So did the bird complete its nest and what happened to it afterwards? Do you still keep in touch?

You'll be amazed Mick how many people get phased and upset at the most trivial,unimportant things until they start to lose their loved ones and only then does everything get put into perspective. Suddenly all those everyday irritations are completely irrelevant and meaningless. Sadly "some" people have to get to that stage before they learn to take things in their stride.
