I read with much sadness this morning that Lenny 'Joe' McLeish passed away last night, at 10.56pm.


Lenny found early fame with the BBC during the 1950s in hit shows Don't Tell Mother and Pass The Brush, but it was his work on Bird Watch? for Anglia which made him a household name. . A late move to Hollywood saw him earn the admiration of a whole new generation through a series of road safety commercials and as a body double in Predator II.


Never one to complain and always a fighter, Lenny finally 'passed his last brush' after a long battle with thrush outside the Golden Lion in Dudley last night, surrounded by family and friends.


God Bless.

What its not sad news that I've just heard of Lenny McLean's death, Mick?


You don't want his Family to know that that is your attitude or you might get a visit from Lenny's many bruvvers, if you get my meaning, My Son.::o

I don't really think there is any need for that kind of friviolity Young Lady.


Losing Lenny McLeish and being aware of Lenny McLean's death on the same day is not to be mocked....:(

Tone,

You'd better sit down - I've got lots of bad news.


Since Lenny McLean died - nearly ten years ago - lots of other people have too. A busy day ahead for you - and google.


Anyway - this thread is about Lenny McLeish. Please show some respect.



Ps - you did hear about Diana, didn't you?

I was saying elsewhere Mick that, only last night, we got 9 out of the current "Top 10" threads in The Lounge.


Someone spoilt it by writing something totally inconsequential about some irrelevant Subject otherwise we would have been the first to have had a clean sweep since The Beatles back in '66...

I think that's another way of saying TLS, that if we keep boring everyone else they might give us the Lounge to ourselves and then they'll probably set up a seperate section for serious minded people - hey wait a minute.

      I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities

      I don't think anyone wants people who need support not to have it.
