Monkeys Fist 42428 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 He used to come out with “factoids”, which he used to describe little facts. A factoid actually means an incorrect fact, but his use of it has now grown to the point where everyone uses it, making the word factoid its own factoid. Never liked the cunt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44864 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Ah that's a shame. He was a walking stereotype, but because he was partly responsible for the invention of the stereotype. He's been on the radio up until quite recently so I assume this was very unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20129 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Sad to hear this. He was easy to listen to and grew up hearing him on a Sunday from the kitchen. Not a surprise in some ways. Last photo I saw of him he looked like he had just given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4379 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I used to go to a barbers when I was a kid who was the spitting double of Steve Wright - he was called Verne and was made by the long hair fad of the mid to late 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bored the tits off me, my dad tried to convince me he was funny - I never thought so, personally. But then they replaced him with Scott Mills and I suddenly missed Serious Jockin' and his other shite patter. 19 hours ago, Gemmill said: Ah that's a shame.

Gemmill 44864 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The documentary about him, he was a canny impressive bloke. For all of his bravado, Putin is a pathetic little man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had some very dodgy views of Muslims at one time, aye - however, I think he may have softened on that quite a bit over the years. Amnesty stripped him of his 'prisoner of conscious' title after videos came out of him spouting ultra-nationalist/islamophobic shit from years ago, but then gave him the title back because 'his views have evolved since then'. So presumably, he had an American History X glow up in the Gulag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) He was a braver man than me. He must have known he was going to end up drinking a Novichok cocktail at some point, but continued calling Putin out for being corrupt. Edit - Just realised he was actually poisoned in 2020, and it still didn't put him off! Edited February 16 by Kid Dynamite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The documentary is really good if you haven't seen it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the best team in that tournament and deserved winners, in Europe you had AC Milan with the trio of Dutch in their side Ruud, Van Basten and Rjjkyaard, Inter took the Germans, Klinsmann, Lothar Matthaeus and Brehme. Both won the scudetto with those players as well as the rest of their somewhat talented squads. Sixty three is no age though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44864 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Aye, if you told me I only had 15 years left I'd feel a bit short changed. 10 or 15 years ago I probably would have thought "Ah he's done alright. Could have been worse." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
