Ah, a eulogy!

In many ways, he touched us all.

Speak for yourself! He never got his paws on me!

He's in heaven now with Michael Jackson.

Heaven?

Ok, who else here didn't get Jim to fix it?

Well, he was a devout Catholic.

Make of that what you will.

I'm sure if he was a devout Catholic, he didn't do any of those things you suggest in the thread header.

< Whistles Nolan Sisters tune >

No Catholic would ever do such a thing.

Anyway, he will be remembered by many. Often with a shudder.

Remember him this way

Or touching up a 14 year old Coleen Nolan on TOTP in front of millions of viewers.

Guess it made a change from touching up corpses of 14 year olds.

I was surprised to hear this, it seemed like he was going to live forever.

Anyway, I await badtouch rumours from places on the internet other than here. Might be a couple of hours.

He was one of those people who always seemed to be the same age his entire life.

I only have a second hand experience of Sir Jimmy (thank god). My mum took my grandma to a Leeds hospital for her appointment about a cataract operation. Sir Jimmy was in the waiting room and my mum felt that he was decidedly creepy. However the old ladies there seemed to enjoy his presence and being entertained by him.

That's a bit of a rubbish story isn't it.

Oh well.

He raised around £40 million for charity over the years. Which is a lot more than I'm likely to do. About £40 million in fact...

Not that it excuses the "alleged" stuff, but still.

He was very quiet in recent years.

Phone broke?

Sim'll fix it.

I was surprised to hear this, it seemed like he was going to live forever.

The witch refused to share her blood.

I once saw him eating a fuddruckers burger with his mother

Has anyone fucked him yet?

Your mum.

His mum.

He and the Duchess can be together again at last.

On twitter:

FilmFan1971 @hankinshaw My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

@Hankinshaw I am going to drink until I puke

Mate, you might want to delete the RL names there.

Aah, you already did.

#26 yeah, quickly realised i'd pasted them.

Another post on Twitter:

RIP SirJim A great man with nothing but love in his body.

No organs or blood or stuff?

Now then, now then... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WSsyfjytJA

This on Twitter:

Thank you for the tracksuits. An archive to be proud of.

He was devoted to his mum.

Just like the Krays.

And Mark Thatcher.

D'you remember back in the 60's when he made that record "Ahab the Arab"? That suddenly came back to me

was he really a corpse toucher?

He claimed to have been the first DJ to use twin turntables, the entire hiphop community is in his debt.

He was a staunch supporter of Margaret Thatcher and spent 11 successive New Years with the former prime minister at Chequers!

http://gu.com/p/332vt/tw

I remember Ahab the Ayrab, LadyDi. It was a very stupid song, with racial stereotyping which was offensive even in those far-off times.

Wasn't he called in to talk to Charles and Di and try and stop them from divorcing?

I'd have jumped out of the window

Wasn't he called in to talk to Charles and Di and try and stop them from divorcing?

It takes some imagination to think of SirJim as the answer to a failing marriage. Or perhaps we've misjudged him.

Perhaps the Queen misjudged him?

He fought over one hundred professional wrestling bouts losing nearly every one of them

Let it all out, LadyDi. Tell us what really went on.. ;)

Oh I wish I knew. I hope no cigars were involved

I want a sinister charabanc.

He was devoted to his mum.

As a mum, I find it sad that this is so often the sign of someone odd. Somehow it shouldn't be.

What is this sinister charabanc business?

It's bit odd when you're 80 and she's dead

GPWM

GPWM?

He kept all his mum's clothes in the wardrobe after she died and left her bedroom exactly as it was. That's a bit odd.

So that means <does some maths> that back in 1967, the Summer of Love and the Beatles and Top of the Pops and all, Jimmy was already 40. Phew!

Grief does strange things to people.



Wearing his mum's clothes and keeping her corpse exactly as it was would be a bit odd.

GPWM GOOD POINT WELL MADE

Thanks Electro

Within minutes, MINUTES of the news breaking on Sky @ 3pm there were fulsome tributes from Dave Lee Travis.

What more epitaph would you want. And Diddy David Hamilton has just been on.

Its the main damn story on there. Suppose they're trying to make up for not going big on the death of Betty Driver the other saturday.

Sky man Ashish Joshi has said, "There was really no bad stories about him At All", a universally kind and loved man, then.

Although Nick Highams on BBC in the pre-packed obit does mention that Jimell was mysterious and essentially a bit odd.

Colleen Nolan did actually appear with him when he was a guest on Loose Women a few months back. Not awkward at all.

Let's not forget internet poster TheP (RIP)'s friend who snorted a line of coke from Saville's engorged member.

Will it get menioned on Have I Got News For You?



Leeds poice were called to his flat @ midday, and have announced there were no suspicious circumstances to Jimells death.

The cops always announce this whenever a much loved Octegenarian celebrity dies

Fare thee well, Sir Jimmy.

You really wound up some people just by being you.

For that, and your charitable work

I salute you.

I bet The Guardian are relieved they closed The Talk. It'd be a nightmare having him die at the weekend with no moderators.

Dead person ≠ lawsuit shirley.

Colleen Nolan did actually appear with him when he was a guest on Loose Women a few months back. Not awkward at all.

she probably figured that she's safe now she's no longer 14

Heh!

I bet these two had loads to talk about:

Garrick

What about that video in which Auberon Waugh denounces Sir Jimmy? (Or am I misremembering)

Where from? JB Sports.

I don't see why he can't still use it.

I wonder if someone will go as gadaffi with a stick up the jacksy?

Something very wrong with Jimmy Savile.

My ex was a nurse at Leeds General, and lived in Roundhay not far from him. She said the rumours about him and cadavers were rife, and nobody trusted him. He worked as a porter (voluntary) but he gave everyone the creeps.

I spent one boring day on a train with him up to Glasgow and back filming a BR ad back in the 80s. He was someone who couldn't hold a conversation at all. All he did was talk: either about himself, or make some naff joke. What a tedious, tedious old twat he was.

Narcissist, too close to his mother, worked around dead bodies and children, never married (or had a lover), kept a shrine to his mother (had all her clothes dry cleaned once a year for Chrissakes!)...AND a disc jockey.

One of the weirdest fuckers ever to make it onto the telly.

Everyone has a sexual outlet. I dread to think what his must have been.

Looking forward to the TV film of his life. My bet is it'll outshine Kenneth Williams and Frankie Howard as all the dirt comes out at last...

He claimed to have invented the disco.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15507863

ITV news described him as a loner, says it all.

ITV news described him as a loner

That's nearly as bad as the neighbours saying "He kept himself to himself".

Why is it so many male celebrities (esp lonely, fucked up ones) have such strange relationships with their mothers?

I blame Oedipus.

Has there ever been a good media week for loners?

I wonder whether, given Sir Jim's sterling work at St James's in Leeds, someone will sing St James Infirmary Blues at his funeral:

I went down to St. James Infirmary,

Saw my baby there,

Stretched out on a long white table,

So cold, so sweet, so fair.

Radio presenter Paul Burnett told Sky News...

'He did a lot of work as a porter in the hospital that he collected money for. He would go there at night and work as a porter and I think he loved the people that he worked with

Physically

heh.

Oh dear. Didn't he do a lot at Stoke Mandeville too?

I'm conjuring up some awful thoughts here

He went to Stoke Mandeville after being asked to leave the Leeds hospitals. Where, apparently, they kept a VERY close eye on him.

When my son was in Leeds General we spent a lot of time there with him, and one of the nurses on his ward told us a few tales about wonderful man-of-the-people Jimmy Savile.

http://twitpic.com/77lw5x

Apparently Savile had an injunction preventing this picture apparently of him with children at a Jersey care home being published.

All this innuendo is shocking. Doesn't anyone have any reliable links to show he really bummed corpses, or something?

'A' Jersey care home, or 'the' Jersey care home?

That I don't know (but my first thought was the Jersey care home)

There surely can't be that many care homes on Jersey

A quick google reveals:

"I once interviewed Larry Grayson for a local radiostation. After the interview, Larry says to me 'Doyou know the truth about XXXXXX XXXXXX? All that workhe does at the hospitals - well it's all a front.The real reason he's happy to help the hospitalporters is because he likes to fuck the dead.'

"At which point Larry Grayson does an impersonationof XXXXXX fucking a dead body, while repeatingthe words 'fucks the dead, fucks the dead'

"Larry then sits down leans over to me and says 'hewon't be able to fucking fix that if it ever gets out!'"

Bronski Beat and The Communards won't be the same without him.

I think we can all now fill in the Xs without fear of libel.

Is it possible to fuck someone who's dead? I would have thought rigor mortis would be a bit of barrier

Vendor - possibly the care home

http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t507589/

Not clicking on a fascist link, I'm afraid.

Sorry - hadn't looked where the link went

Try this

http://www.thelawyer.com/jimmy-savile-turns-to-fox-hayes-for-action-against-the-sun/131780.article

Leeds-based firm Fox Hayes has commenced legal action against The Sun newspaper on behalf of TV personality Jimmy Savile.

Savile, the star of children’s television favourite Jim’ll Fix It, decided to start proceedings against the Rupert Murdoch paper after a series of articles linked the former Radio One DJ with Jersey children’s home Haut de la Garenne.

The police are currently investigating the care home after human remains were found at the residence where children were allegedly tortured and sexually abused.

I'd be more willing to believe it was true if they called Wilfred Bramble by his real name, Wilfred Bramwell (I think but it's def not Bramble). As he was arrested for importuning (lovely word) in gents toilets, it seems likely he prefers men to little boys

didn't realise it was fascist until I read it

But didn't it turn out that the "human remains" didn't actually exist? I was listening to something about this on Radio 4. The whole thing was either made up or a big cover up

I'd only heard of him vaguely and I can't find much on the net about these rumours at all. But here is an interview with him, in which he denies all biblical knowledge of corpses and kids.

http://www.independent.ie/unsorted/features/kids-cant-be-kidded-they-smell-the-truth-511693.html

He claimed to have invented the disco.

In the 40s and 50s, the musicians union was very sniffy about people playing records in public without hiring musicians, Jimmy Saville solved the problem by hiring bands and not bothering to let them play.

And he was the first 'dance hall' DJ to use two decks so he could segue records smoothly. But he fucked corpses, so it's a bit 'good news / bad news' really.

Macman told me the sad news with the words: "Guess who's found himself face down on the slab tonight?"

I went to see Jim'll Fix It being recorded on a school trip when I was about 14.

Is there a doctor on the forum? Back to my question:

Is it possible to fuck a dead person?

In the You will Die thread, yumyum says that dead people groan etc and expel a lot of body fluid. Then I think rigor mortis sets in PDQ

Rigor mortis peaks a few hours after death and then gradually wears off over about 2 days.

Odd things can happen soon after death as motor nerves spontaneously fire. Sitting bolt upright in bed is not uncommon, and plenty of noises.

Rigor wears off again though, you can't keep a stiffie forever.

so to speak

From notoriously reliable Wikipedia; Rigor mortis (Latin meaning "stiffness of death") is one of the recognizable signs of death that is caused by a chemical change in the muscles after death, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff and difficult to move or manipulate. In humans it commences after about 3 hours, reaches maximum stiffness after 12 hours, and gradually dissipates until approximately 72 hours (3 days) after death.

(my bold)

so, pot of lube and you're in.

Of course it's possible to fuck a dead person. Dead people sigh rather than groan, in my experience, but that's a perfectly valid response when your corpse is being fucked by a creepy old man.

erm, apparently.

< rattles jewellery >

I didn't realise rigor mortis wore off. Heck!But doesn't decompostion start pretty quickly?

Not in a mortuary setting, I wouldn't imagine. But keeping bodies in cold storage will obviously slow the rate at which rigor wears off.

I'm thinking about this too much, aren't I?

Apparently he sat with his mother's corpse for several days after she died. I have really bad thoughts going through my head now. Thanks threadsters!

It's a service we provide, Wibbs.

He insists it was because the ground was too frozen immediately after her death to dig a grave.

I'm not going to comment, I know nothing about these things.

Sexy?

hahaha

And he was the first 'dance hall' DJ to use two decks so he could segue records smoothly

and many rappers have copied his garish tracksuit and 'bling' jewelry image, he virtually invented hip hop

- liven things up

+ be the last straw for many posters

Going back, it's not about libel. I do know the law. It's just if it involves other people - which it could well end up doing - the paper would have had their work cut out.

I'm tempted to have another Mail invasion to see what they do.

GU Rock Lives

Opaz – 01:55pm Jun 12, 2001 BST ( #16 of 17)

It’s last at night in a fashionable area of downtown (sorry, Spon) Leeds, well-dressed people out on the town scurrying about on their way to expensive French restaurants. A slender leg is emerging from the open door of a black cab, we realise that the leg belongs to Poobie, whose face we can just make out in the gloom of the cab’s interior. She is wearing a long luxurious fur coat and a diamond necklace and is holding a cigarette in a holder in one hand. There’s a man in the back of the cab whose face is entirely in shadow, although tendrils of long white hair are just visible, as is his arm stretched over the back of the seat, holding a large cigar. We realise it is Jimmy Savile. Across the street, Shadrack lurks in a shadowy doorway, looking as if he might have been sleeping rough the last few nights, his dark suit rumpled and stained, a bottle of beer in his hand. The driver of the cab appears to be Boog, wearing a sinister smile.

From comments on the DM:

About 6 years ago, my wife and I were having a weekend away in Scarborough.... bumped into Sir Jimmy in an Italian Restaurant on the seafront.......he joined us for dinner (we picked up the bill!!) He told us stories of his life which will probably have never been mentioned or published....... greatly memorable experience..... hugely eccentric and direct..... a truly wonderful character in every way. Very sad to hear of his passing today. RIP Sir Jimmy. God Bless.

I'm guessing charities will benefit a lot from his will

From comments on the DM

I think Abdullah Ibrahim Mohammed al Saleemi Bisha Mohammad's warm tribute said it for all of us:

Nice to see ya to see ya!!!

Not the first time today that Sir Jim'll has been confused with Brucie.

Tight old bastard, what a rotten trick to play. He was loaded.

Yep. I thought so too.

Only slightly? I've just ruined my keyboard.

I just watched BBC News at 10 and "a fan" placed some flowers outside his house.Just the one fan (middle aged woman)

I saw that too, noticed they said he was one of Britain's "well known celebrities" as opposed to "much loved" which is how they refer to Brucie.

Celebrities are well-known by definition, no?

They may have said entertainers

He will haunt the dreams of children forever.

In what way was Savile entertaining?

The same way a particularly nasty horror film is.

About 99.8% of children worldwide would draw a picture of Jimmy Saville if asked to draw a picture of "the nasty man".

I bet it wasn't just the combination of roller-coaster motion and sticky fairground fare that was discomfiting those Boy Scouts.

I wrote in to Jim'll Fix It when I was a girl, asking to ride showjumper Eddie Macken's horse Boomerang, or possibly Pele, anyway whichever one it was who kept winning everything at the time. I wanted of course to make him (Eddie, not Jimmy) fall in love with me and make me his wife. My only other hope of being Mrs Macken was to become a successful showjumper myself.

I didn't get on Jim'll Fix It and I didn't get to marry Eddie Macken.

#149 - I know the feeling mancurse. (it was Boomerang).

Pele was great too though.

Did you love Eddie too, Anti? I learned much later that he was a right one for shagging around - we probably could have had him, you know.

I grew up in Aylesbury too, and my mum was an occupational therapist at Stoke Mandeville. She met JS on many occasions, and said he was a very difficult person to talk to, but the children really loved him. He just didn't seem able to relate to adults, well, live ones anyway.

No mention of necrophilia, but then MaA is someone who doesn't believe in blow jobs either.

Anti, he sounds like Micheal Jackson, not being able ie living in a child's world

I dont' like Brucie either

MaA is someone who doesn't believe in blow jobs either.

That raises just too many questions.

A friend of mine worked at Stoke Mandeville for a while. She says Savile had a room there, for which he paid no rent, and he worked as a volunteer porter.

When I used to go over to Norn during the school hols to stay with my peasant cousins I frequently lied to them in an attempt to come across like some supercool cat telling them I had been on Jim'll Fix It. My tales spanned the full romantic gamut of going on a rollercoaster and eating shit loads of ice cream sundaes (i.e. lots of exotica unheard of and unseen in Norn) and meeting John Conteh and Norris McWhirter et al. I even fashioned a Jim'll medal out of a bar of Shield soap, tinfoil and some ribbons using a pen knife and flashed it out of a bathroom window to the congregation of gullible ginger cuz-tards below who all worshipped me as "oldest cousin".

In reality I was far far too working class and savvy around paedos to ever get near Jimmy Saville's rape chair.

HIGNFY got quite interesting. I wonder whether this will ever feature on an outtakes show: http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/rogerb/jokes/HIGNFY.

Meeting Norris McWhirter was like touching the spear of destiny when you were 8.

45491/TVs-Sir-Jimmy-Savile-is-fixed-in-hospital.html

TELLY legend Sir Jimmy Savile was last night in hospital recovering from a bout of pneumonia.

The 84-year-old former Jim'll Fix It star and Top Of The Pops presenter was taken to Leeds General Infirmary, where he has often done voluntary work

Ah. Google said it was updated 2 hours ago and the date shown at the top is Sat, 29 Oct 2011.

Gosh. On the BBC website, nearly 50% of the comments posted have been deleted by the mods for one reason or another.

garrick - OK, watched the link. What are you saying?

The ringed fingers in the bath splishing splashing. Eeeek!

He was hot wired into hell.

The young Jimmy Saville looks quite normal. Clearly either gay or a dabbler, but I certainly wouldn't have him down as a corpse-fucker with his own room in a hospital.

This thread is disturbing. I used to think it was all just, rather dark, GU japery. Now I don't know what to think. Could charity man Sir Jimmy really fuck corpses? I mean, who fucks corpses? That's just fucked up. Is it a Satanic ritual thing? Does he love Satan too?

Only the internets knows for sure.

Seriously weird. My comment on garrick's link now predates his posting of the link. Go figure.

Sir James on his mother from the Guardian Obit:

"When she died she was all mine. She looked marvellous. She belonged to me. It's wonderful, is death."

Shudder

my girlfriend's story; when she was a glasgow busdriver in the 80's, she met jimmy saville. he took her hand and she thought he was going to kiss it, but he licked it! she mentions his rings, too

Great Sun comments...

aufdeutsch

Why hasn't he ever married and had kids?...its not normal is it?

Maybe because he looked after his mother "The Duchess" There isn't a law (unless Labour Slipped it in somewhere) that says everyone should get married and have children

Jim'll Fuck it?

To give him credit, no one can say he was one of those who took advantage of his celebrity status by shagging everything that moves.

References to "Savile" and "necrophilia" on places like David Icke and other nutters. Maybe it's not true at all...

Fucking wow. To CQ with that one, I reckon!

Why thank you

According to a few swivvel eyed webmongs Sir Jim seems to have some unsavoury links to everyone's favourite black Tory Derek Laud.

Have any of the Sunday papers printed any sordid details of his alleged etc?

Give them a week to get a decent feature together...

Maybe an opinion piece by Louis Theroux on the bits they couldn't use from filming the documentary...

God I wished I'd never started looking into Saville's touching. All manner of mouth breathing websites written by ex care leavers in blue comic sans are now begging to be read and Hollyoaks is on.

HIGNFY script largely fake according to this:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2000/jul/21/i
nternetnews.theguardian

An ex girlfriend of mine met him on a school trip when she was about 14, although none got the Coleen Nolan treatment she said the considered opinion of her classmates was that he was a right old pervert.

No one died.

Whatever you think of anyone, this is the most strange comment I've ever read.

"Why hasn't he ever married and had kids?...its not normal is it?"

Shall we do a quick poll straw and see how many people we know who aren't married and/or don't have children? Is it really that freaky?!

And it's it's you twat.

All this bad stuff about Jimmy Savile is unsubstantiated internet gossip. Amazing how some people love indulging in it.

to be played at his funeral? I don't think so ...

http://youtu.be/NBJgY4u9EtE?t=1m9s

because Savile was such a creepy nonce

Did you read that somewhere? The internet, perhaps?

All this bad stuff about Jimmy Savile is unsubstantiated internet gossip

The gossip predates the internet.

It doesn't mean it's true though, does it? He did appear to be a bit odd, but being a bit odd doesn't automatically make him a toucher, just as keeping yourself to yourself and being a bit of a loner doesn't automatically make one a serial killer, although obviously, it helps.

Keeping a dead mum in the living room? I wouldn't have fancied showering in his motel.

Mother's not herself today...

I just had a look at the Icke forum and by page 9 it's fully established that he was a murdering paedo nonce with senior connections to the CIA, FBI, Mossad, The Knights Templar, The Illuminati (natch) and virtually ran the BBC. He got away with his crimes against children, nurses, animals and fashion because HE WAS JUST TOO POWERFUL!!

The stuff about not being able to bury his mother because the ground was frozen doesn't ring true.

That might happen in Siberia where the ground freezes deep down but I don't think that cemeteries in the UK rely on a bloke with a shovel to dig graves.

To give him credit, no one can say he was one of those who took advantage of his celebrity status by shagging everything that moves

Pure fucking gold - bravo! Bravo!

He was made a Papal Knight, mind.

Oh God, Play It Safe. That scared me WAY more than Government safety films or Dr Who.

It was all reconstructions of terrfying accidents possible from everyday objects.

The woman whose toddler drowned in the bath while she answered the phone or those kids scalded for life within seconds.

---The uncle of a workmate ended up in stoke Mandeville after colapsing at home. He was unconscious for several weeks, and when he finally came round, was amazed to see Sir Jimmell in the canteen. "Now then Now Then Owsabout" routine ensues. Ailing uncle thinks this is hilarious and a real tonic.

The next day Jimell is also in the canteen and does the same thing again like clockwork.

And again.

And again.

Every day he was in hospital, for about 2 months.

Every day he was in hospital, for about 2 months.

Or perhaps, just perhaps, he was very socially awkward and all the charity and fundraising stuff filled a gap for someone unable to relate to people on any level other than "Now then, goodness gracious, it was Showaddywaddy".

This from the Daily Mail,(just for the record, and JohnIlly)

"Grieving families are being forced to wait more than a month to bury their dead as Britain struggles to cope with the worst winter in 13 years.

Undertakers say the number of unburied bodies has risen sharply since the start of the cold snap - and is expected to grow.

The sub-zero conditions and snowstorms have triggered a surge in deaths and left the ground too frozen to dig up across much of the UK.Digging in: A woman near Aviemore where temperatures fell to -18c

Digging in: A woman near Aviemore where temperatures fell to -18c

Despite the growing crisis, local councils are refusing to clear the backlog of bodies by opening up cemeteries on Saturdays and Sundays. Most still allow weekend burials only for Muslims and orthodox Jews.

According to the latest official figures, funeral directors and registrars are struggling to cope with the bodies of more than 54,113 who have died so far this year.

The figure is almost 6,000 higher than in previous years, with thousands of deaths still to be registered for January and the first week of February.

Yeah but she died in August

Okay I made that up

I met the lovely Piscineaste yesterday and when the news came through we instantly fretted about what was to become of someone grieving in pain for this man..

Our cherished Hankinshaw now has lost an output for his venom. We agreed that Eamonn Holmes needs to watch out now.

What was winter 1973 like? Was it particularly cold?

Also, he was doing bling before most of the gangsta-rappers were born. The Daddy of Bad Taste, in a kind of Liberace way.

and wearing garish tracksuits, he invented hip hop

Pity he didn't invent the drive-by shooting while he was at it.

#213 - it's a clean pic - he's endorsing 2 soap powders!

@ChrisJefferiesCanyngRoad He taught me all he new about perfecting the platinum bob and dealing with media intrusion.

ChachaChazz so funny!

More from that Graun interview:

"I once said to a girl, 'I'm older than your grandfather.' And she says, 'Well I love him as well.' I say, 'Good-oh, but I'm still too old for you', and she says, 'No, you're not because you're ageless, you're you.' Now that didn't come from me, it comes from someone else. So when people say to me, 'Don't you think you're too old to do this?', I say I'm doing what I'm doing cos I'm having a good time and why don't you piss off to leave me to do it."

omigod, there's more:

The creepiest moment in the documentary occurs late at night when he thinks the camera is off, and he talks about the dancehall days. "I wouldn't stand for any nonsense whatsoever. Ever, ever. I never threw anybody out. Tied them up and put them down in the bloody boiler house until I was ready for them. Two o'clock in the fucking morning... We'd tie em up and then we'd come back and I was the judge, jury and executioner. If a copper came and said 'You were a bit heavy with those two guys', I'd say 'Your daughter comes in here, she's 16, she's not supposed to come into town. Presumably you'd like me to look after her. If you don't want me to look after her, tell me and I'll let them dirty slags do what they want to her.' "

An early example of 'zero tolerance'.

From his Telegraph obit:

This led to Savile’s becoming a Mecca dance-hall manager, and by the late 1950s he was responsible for the entertainment at 45 Mecca ballrooms across the country. At that time, Musicians’ Union regulations stipulated that entertainment in dance-halls should be provided by live bands, with records played only in the interval between performances. Realising that the records were invariably more popular than the band, Savile would circumvent the rules by paying the musicians not to perform. His policy of what he described as “zero tolerance” towards drunks and troublemakers revealed him in a somewhat less benevolent light. In later years, he admitted that they would be taken to the boiler-room, tied up and left for a few hours to reflect on their misdemeanours.

and it closes with:

"....a man who regarded it as his duty to brighten everybody’s day, collaring passers-by to whom he was at best a distant memory and regaling them with his jokes and catchphrases, making a beeline for anybody in a wheelchair.

A man who divided opinion without ever appearing to care much what anyone thought of him, he was simply an odd chap. "

Not being able to stop is quite a serious problem if you're in a wheelchair.

Jim fixed it.

How come it never kicked off, at the time, when he groped 14 year old Coleen Nolan on TotP?

You'd think their Dad would have wrung Savile's scrawny neck for that. But perhaps he was too guilt-ridden/compromised by sexually abusing his eldest daughter, Anne, to notice.

http://tinyurl.com/mzvxb8

He got to meet Brian Jones and Julie Driscoll. Wish I had.

Has there been any solid evidence of Savile being anything other than an oddball? Or were any public accusations made while he was alive (as was the case with Cyril Smith)? I ask because "he's a bit odd - must be a nonce" has been the cause of one or two miscarriages of justice in living memory.

Well he's dead now and we can say waht we want about the corpse buggering nonce.

#238 - Well he was presenting a children's TV programme.

I think there's a lot of bitterness from those who didn't get replies to their letters to Jim'll Fix It

garrick92 - 01:50pm Sep 21, 2005 BST ( #47 of 52)

The really amusing thing about it is the number of pre-recorded obits for TV news that various talking heads have done over the years, referring directly to Savile's behaviour and expressing their revulsion and disbelief (over him never getting nabbed for it). I saw Auberon Waugh's a few years back and it is well worth the wait (assuming it is ever broadcast).

Right. When are these going to surface?

I think there's a lot of bitterness from those who didn't get replies to their letters to Jim'll Fix It



Auberon Waugh?

This thread is disgusting and ridiculous. Either substantiate your absurd claims or be quiet and respect the dead. You are making yourselves look ignorant and childish.

Savile did more for charity than nearly anyone else in the country and did more good for this country than the people who smear his name would even conceive of. You are small, mean and insignificant. He was a magnificently generous English eccentric. Respect due.

Are you the Max Gogarty from 'Dad'll Fix It'?

Savile did more for charity

It never seems quite the same when people turn it into a circus and make as much public fuss as possible. There is no law of nature which makes it impossible for someone who puts in work for a charity to still be a wrong 'un.

I am reminded of an episode from The Sopranos where Paulie ensures he donates plenty of money to the church to reduce his time in purgatory for all the murders he has committed. With discounts he reckons 600 years before he gets to heaven. "I could do that standing on my head."

'It never seems quite the same when people turn it into a circus and make as much public fuss as possible.'

who gives a fucking shit as long as the vulnerable are being helped

who gives a fucking shit as long as the vulnerable are being helped

Saville might have achieved more pressurising Government into improving services rather than becoming a professional fundraiser.

"Helped"

who gives a fucking shit as long as the vulnerable are being helped

I do. I fucking hate 'charity'.

• It absolves the state from meeting its responbilities to the vulnerable.

• The poor contribute disproportionately.

• Decisions on who and how to help are made through a vile combination of marketing and OPR and donor preference. So, cash is not allocated according to need but according to fashion and promotion.

• There is insufficient scrutiny of charities compare to statutory agencies.

• Charity itself is a dodgy term - viz the fucking private schools.

Hear, hear! I do support various charities, as it's the only system we've currently got, but I totally support the points above.

Atlantic Bridge was a charity.

What a pathetic argument.

Hmmmm....think you are a little off the mark with some of that Col.

It's perfectly possible to support a high level of state provision of essential services while still wanting to make additional contributions to causes about which one has a strong personal link, particularly if that is going to longer term research which may be difficult to justify on a strict cost-benefit basis. Cancer research, for instance.

And because I am in full-on frothing mode. here's two numbers that make me mad:

Children In Need 201 broadcast fund raising total: £18 million.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_in_Need

In 2011-12 ... Councils are set to cut about £337m of children’s social care services through gross budget reductions of 5 per cent.

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/b43fe1b2-5e32-11e0-b1d8-00144feab49a.html

A telethon will make people feel better. Actually, political lobbying would achieve a great deal more.

Charity is fine in principle. But.

Blank - yes, charity can be fine. (I won't debase the discussion by itemising the specific charities I support and the personal reasons why.)

But the kind of charity-fundraising you describe is a small part of the 'charity' narrative.

Papal Knight Sir Jimmy Savile entertains the nation for decades, is a style pioneer and man ahead of his time, invents the discotheque, lives frugally in the Leeds suburbs, donates 90% of his income to worth causes, works as a hospital porter and selflessly helps the needy. Yet he is pilloried by internet self-soilers and pedlars of mistruths. What a travesty of natural justice.

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

Col2001:

You missed out giving madcap funsters the opportunity to be wacky in the workplace. Bastards.

#253 This.

wacky in the workplace.

Wacky? Yes.

And of course, the trusty old Pay for My Holiday routine:

Hi - I hear you like hillwalking. I'm doing the 3 Peaks Challenge soon, ruining the whole thing for people like you and royally pissing off people around Scafell. I'm really looking forward to it! Can you lend me some of your kit? And will you sponsor me? It's for chariiiiiddddddeeeeeeeee...

I have never understood the logic of sponsored walks.

"Will you give some money to charity?"

"No."

"Will you give some money to charity if a legless ex-serviceman walks to the North Pole?"

"Certainly. Help yourself to my wallet,"

I do. I fucking hate 'charity'.

pathetic

•It absolves the state from meeting its responsibilities to the vulnerable.

No it doesn't. The state should help the vulnerable. why blame charities and people if they also want to help. why should I not donate to the red cross or MSF if they are helping flood victims? why should people die just because you hate the word charity?

•The poor contribute disproportionately.

do you have any evidence?

•Decisions on who and how to help are made through a vile combination of marketing and OPR and donor preference. So, cash is not allocated according to need but according to fashion and promotion.

please explain. can you appy, this to cancer research, MSF, red cross, plus children's charities?

•There is insufficient scrutiny of charities compare to statutory agencies.

maybe, but why attack charities in general and attack good people who want to help others? Is this a reason to let flood victimes die?

•Charity itself is a dodgy term - viz the fucking private schools.

maybe. however you give yourself away here as a heavily chipped person. you don't like private schools so you lump all charities together and say they are evil. do you really not see all the NET overall good that charities do? do you think most people are so stupid that they cannot recognize that contributing to charities helps people out in general?



Mindless support of 'charity' is pathetic. It's even worse when it is used to excuse or compensate for dodgy behaviour.

'But the kind of charity-fundraising you describe is a small part of the 'charity' narrative.'

Well it is the part of the 'narrative' that is relevant to an appraisal of Jimmy Savile, as he was (amongst other things) a major fundraiser for Cancer Research UK.

•It absolves the state from meeting its responsibilities to the vulnerable.

Its the publicity which distracts from the damage government is doing behind the scenes, charity in private (where genuine obviously, not Atlantic Bridge type crookedness) is a useful contribution.

This thread has suddenly become very dull.

No it doesn't. The state should help the vulnerable. why blame charities and people if they also want to help. why should I not donate to the red cross or MSF if they are helping flood victims? why should people die just because you hate the word charity?

Moral blackmail of the most naive kind.

please explain. can you appy, this to cancer research, MSF, red cross, plus children's charities?

It's perfectly clear. You may have missed the thirty-year-old cultural meme about the relative cuddliness of different good causes.

do you think most people are so stupid that they cannot recognize that contributing to charities helps people out in general?

'People' are indeed too stupid to see that charity is too often cover for state and society not doing what it can and should do.

You need to do a lot more thinking about politics and society before you get involved in a debate like this.

Its a fair point.

Enduring some godawful children in need telethon and chucking £24 million in the pot achieves little if we then elect a government which cuts £ 240 million from the budget allocated to those children.

Anyway, doubt if anything new will come out of this little excursion.

As you were.

Speculating on Jimmy Savile's curious life, I believe?

This was a disgraceful, puerile, childish and innuendo-laden thread. And that was how it should be.

We don't want it sullied by UK News type wibbling thanks.

Yeah, more nonce allegations please.

All the allegations seem to be along the lines of "I heard off someone....."

Having firmly believed he was a wrong'un for years, I'm now leaning towards him just being odd.

Albeit very, very odd.

I am slightly disappointed.

Val McDermid wrote a book about a celebrity who helped out in a hospital, was chummy with all the porters, and used his freedom in the hospital to dispose of the bodies of his young victims in the furnace.

I'm saying nothing.

Sir Jimmy had long hair before the likes of Morbid Angel and Carcass. So, he basically inspired death metal. If you think about it.

This thread needs more allegators!

#275

If true it will surely appear in the tabloids within the week. A pint for Mr Garrick if any of this turns out to be true.

Sir Nowthennowthen didn't invent disco shocker:

http://www.scaruffi.com/history/cpt12.html

"When the occupying German troops shut down Paris' dance halls (which were guilty of promoting Jewish and Black music), private clubs began playing dance records for their customers. "La Discotheque" opened in 1941 to play the jazz music that was banned in dance halls: since it could not hire jazz musicians, it was only playing records."

So, he basically inspired death metal.

by dying?

Three Peaks? Skydiving? Pfft. We've had people coming round to our desks begging money to do the Inca Trail.

Sir Nowthennowthen didn't invent disco shocker:

but did the French Resistance have twin turntables and a microphone?

You need to do a lot more thinking about politics and society before you get involved in a debate like this.

I don't think you have thought through your rant at all. Are you saying that because you have a chip on your shoulder about private schools that all charities are bad and do not help good causes?

Having firmly believed he was a wrong'un for years, I'm now leaning towards him just being odd.

but did the French Resistance have twin turntables and a microphone?

Mere detail.

I don't think you have thought through your rant at all. Are you saying that because you have a chip on your shoulder about private schools that all charities are bad and do not help good causes?



KER- ZINGGGGG!

It hardly takes a genius to come up with the idea of playing records in a dance hall. The reason that people didn't do it for so long was that the musicians union was so powerful.

Not sure about your angle, Basil. Lots of people cope with Asbergers in their own way without brokering a meeting between Frank Bruno and the Yorkshire Ripper.

Momentary return to dullness - sorry. As just one example, before the Welfare State, healthcare for the poor was dependent on patronage by the rich. The NHS has made a good job of providing healthcare for all, as a state responsibility. I should perhaps modify my endorsement of col's post by saying that the state should provide core services for those who need them, but there'll always be scope for charity as well.

As you were - back to scurrilousness, please.

I'll start a News thread for wibbling.

This is true betty, perhaps it's being unfair to aspergers sufferers.

What i mean is, was it that he had some sort in built problem with social interaction, which accounts for his completely over the top mannerisms and persona? surely the 'now then now then' stuff was an affectation he adopted for some reason? Perhaps he was just painfully shy?

whatever, the speculation about him seems to be based, rather than on actual evidence, on people saying 'look at this inappropriate comment he made, he must be a corpse fucker'. Well, maybe he is, but then again maybe he just said inappropriate things because he lacked the necessary social skills to judge the nuances of what is acceptable and what isn't.

That's just ill-informed idle speculation on my part, but then again it's not different than saying 'he was a bit odd, he must be a nonce.'

They said the same about Chris Jefferies, of course, his main crime being to enthuse about Christina Rossetti.

"No smoke without fire" is the perennial cry that goes up from the credulous whenever someone's let out of prison after being wrongfully convicted (or wrongfully arrested, as in Colin Stagg).

No, Synth, I've never said anything of the kind, but plenty of newspapers and commentators did, or rather, hinted at it, which is why Jefferies is now, or soon will be, minted as a result of libel actions.

Chris Jefferies does have Jimmy Savile hair, though.

No he doesn't - it's blue.

Aye, not enough nonce jotting.

I thought it was cadaver cuddling that was the suggestion.

When I first heard that the Sir Jim'll had become a corpse, my first thought was that he could go and fuck himself.

He almost died from pneumonia when just five months old but miraculously recovered after his mother, whom he always referred to as the redoubtable "Duchess", went out to the local church to pray to a deceased Scottish nun.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/oct/29/jimmy-savile-obituary?newsfeed=true

pray to a deceased Scottish nun.

Praying to a live one would be a massive heresy.

Has anyone actually checked whether she is a genuine Duchess or not?

RE: The Duchess. Did he keep her in the house right after she died before handing her over when he saw fit, or in a coffin post-embalming as is the custom is some places?

It's really none of my business, but y'know.

Let's face it, he was a good man. A little odd but a good man.

Let's have more scuttlebutt, you butt scuttlers!

My main objection to him was that he regularly ruined TOTP and "Jim'll Fix It" was shit - fully of drippy BBC friendly kids who needed a slap rather than have their pathetic dreams fulfilled. The only one I was remotely jealous of was a kid who got to be Adam and the Ants' third drummer.

At the hospital Christmas party, Jim'll really enjoyed the buffet. I hear he could often be found sampling a selection of cold meats at the NHS's expense.

The trouble with rumours on the internet is that there's so much utter crap typed up by losers that one really needs to be non-committal in either direction until there is proof positive. Of course, plenty of people don't really care whether it's true or not, they just enjoy the sick jokes.

they just enjoy the sick jokes

Yep. We've had some crackers.

My main objection to him was that he regularly ruined TOTP and "Jim'll Fix It" was shit

He was completely shit and like DLT he gave the impression of having absolutely no interest in music. And Jim'll Fix It belongs in the same cess pool of Saturday Night light entertainment hell occupied by Billy Cotton, Val Doonican, The Black & White Minstrels and Rolf On Saturday OK!

Sure he did a lot for Stoke Mandeville and Leeds General but he'd have done a lot more if he'd poisoned his mate Thatcher's tea while she was PM.

My homophobic grandad* used to shout 'he's one of them ' at the telly in apoplectic rage when Saville was on. Since I was 5, I didn't know many of them , but now I am older and do know many of them , I think I am happy to say that they would't have had him.

* racist too - good old the 70s

Dear Jim,

could you fix it for me to have my tits groped by a vile middle aged DJ on TOTP



Coleen (aged 14)

He wouldn't get within a giant cruising lounge of TheGays with that hair.

#317

Don't dis Rolf. Just don't.

Or Val Doonican. Paddy Mc Ginty's Goat, Delaney's Donkey and Agricultural Irish Girl are fucking class.

I bet Thatch is thanking her lucky stars that her mate Jim'll died before her. Eh?

Maybe that is what has made her hang on for so long.

To be fair, while Rolf was and is a top bloke, Rolf On Saturday was indeed shite.

I saw Rolf at Butlins (Bognor Regis) once; he did a two hour set for the kids, then a fairly normal family friendly set, and then told some jaw-droppingly rude jokes for the adults. All original jokes too.

That guy is a fucking legend.

I wasn't dissing Rolf, I was dissing Rolf On Saturday OK.

Val Doonican in that bloody rocking chair on the other hand was shite. And so was Delaney's Donkey.

Someone has to be brave enough to tell the painful TRUTH.

Hands off Val Doonican, if you don't mind.

I have just checked with MaA.

JS was great with kids, he used to do stuff like dressing up in a wet suit and snorkel, climbing in through the hospital windows and then eat their flowers. The kids loved him.

He was also great on the male paraplegic wards, especially when they were having difficulty coming to terms with the fact that they were paralysed.

It was just women he had a problem with.

So, maybe, just odd.

It's beginning to look like the NTT Nonce Jotter will be unblotted by any jottings on the noncery of Savile unless we get something substantial.

I shall write him down on a post-it note though just in case.

"Savile. Wrong'un? Pending."

Not that I really want to him to have done anything, as that implies somewhere there were victims.

A couple that I'm friends with ran into him in Scarborough. Jim'll was very enthusiastic about meeting them, particularly the woman who he persuaded to sit on his knee with much 'Now then, now then. Why don't you come and sit on Uncle Jimmy's knee then, young lady? UhUHuhUHuhUHuHUHH!'

as that implies somewhere there were victims.

I thought they were already beyond noticing.

I just saw the Louie Theroux documentary, the weirdest thing was that he never really broke out of the inane DJ prattle that appeared to be his natural more of conversation rather than a media act.

That didn't really happen. It was just a sexxxy dream you had, 5hats.

I don't recall that bit in the documentary

It's in the DVD extras.

He's only been dead a couple of days and already gone from being a bog standard paedo to King of the Paedos.

but do they anoint him as their king?

"I just saw the Louie Theroux documentary, the weirdest thing was that he never really broke out of the inane DJ prattle that appeared to be his natural more of conversation rather than a media act."

That is just how they talk in ThatLeeds.

According to the local TV news his body will be on display at the Queen's Hotel in Leeds so that fans can pay their respects.

Make up your own jokes.

Leeds meet, Queen's Hotel, tonight.

Bring lube.

but do they anoint him as their king?

No, but they all sing:

For he is the paedo king!

Hurrah!

Hurrah for the paedo king!

And it is, it is a glorious thing,

To be a paedo king!

...all Gilbert and Sullivan, like.

I bet you are.

Oh, someone who worked with Sir Jimmell a couple of times has just told me something, but there's no way in hell I am posting it from work.

I will do it when I get home....

DO IT RIGHT NOW

We Need To Talk About Jim'll

I will, I will.

On threads about celebrity gossip, there is little more annoying than someone coming in to tell you they've got the most explosive rumour, but they can't say anything or they'll be killed. Wily had better make good on his after work promise or we'll all know him as a charlatan and a fake forever more.

He will be abducted by aliens on the way home. It is now unavoidable.

I'm sure that the local TV news said that his body would be on display. Perhaps the hotel objected to an open coffin for elf 'n' safety reasons.

Will there be any of his past lovers throwing themselves into his grave?

They won't be able to fuck him if the coffin lid is closed.

Hopefully there will be a glory hole available.

"sinister charabanc", with quotes, is a googlewhack.

As is "righteous charabanc".

Any excuse.

This will cause chaos in the middle of Leeds if queues build up.

Hello, am home.

Anyway, I showed the link about Sir Jim being in a coffin in Leeds to my colleague, who seemed vaguely upset at the idea of Sir Jim “lying in state”, and then went off on a rant about him for about five minutes and called him a “dirty old fucker.”

In the 80s, my colleague worked for a certain British board game manufacturer, and was responsible for the marketing on their best selling product – a world famous footy-based gamed that involved flicking pieces of plastic about.

However, it was beginning to look a bit tired and video games were becoming more popular, so they wanted to relaunch it to broaden its appeal, particularly to girls.

They brought in a PR company who hit upon the snazzy idea of combining the 40th anniversary of said game with a national campaign involving footballers and celebs going into schools to play kids, particularly girls, at this game. Chief celeb number one was “Jim”, who would visit a number of schools to “fix it” for the girls to be footballers (geddit? It was the 80s………)

The campaign worked brilliantly. There was plenty of press coverage in national and local media, even internationally, and there was even a puff piece on Blue Peter. You possible saw it.

However, after a couple of school visits it became increasingly apparent that “Jim” was an absolute liability when it came to the attention he paid certain young ladies.

The marketing team from the certain British board games manufacturer quickly developed “standing orders” for dealing with “Jim”, namely that:

When on school premises, escort “Jim” everywhere. Particularly during toilet breaks. In case he ends up in the wrong toilet. Again.

Choose girls who look under 13 or over 18 for any up-close stuff. They were apparently “safe”.

Under no circumstance leave “Jim” alone with any female aged from about 14 to 17.

My colleague said there was loads more, but he then had a bit of a wobble about it and wouldn’t say any more.

I shall work on him tomorrow.

That is all.

Well really. All that and dreadful tracksuits.

Ta for that.

world famous footy-based gamed

Was that Waddington's Dribble and Shoot?

An ex-girlfriend of mine had met him when she was 14 on a schooltrip and she said that all her friends thought he was bit pervey. Plus there is the Coleen Nolan incident.

#380 Aye, that's the one.

Shoot yer Waddington!

Even anecdotal evidence that he had a (truly shocking) attraction to fertile young women and lacked the social skills to deal with that appropriately does not excuse the vileness of this thread. It's the same mentality that gleefully smeared Chris Jefferies.

Never heard of him. Do repeat it.

Come on Max, you know you want to smear Chris Jefferies!

Thanks for giving us gossip properly (and not being a fake and a charlatan), Wily.

Of course, Wily's friend might be a fake and/or charlatan, so remember to keep your mind a little bit open even while enjoying the sick jokes.

Yes, let's all keep our mind open about a creepy fiddlist.

Which is worse I wonder, being goosed by Jimell Fixit or married to Shane Richie.

This is developing into a Savile Row.

Suits me.

You forgot your coat.

Looks like I've been collared!

Fuck off.

Apparently he's going to be 'lying in state' in Leeds. Necrophiliacs, now's your big chance.

Unless he's dressed in his vest, shellsuit and jewellery, in which case he'll be lying in a state.

Really? WHO KNEW?

Captainblack is rubbish at spoilers these days.

Will be buried in his track suit and gold jewellery? With votive objects such as a cigar to aid his voyage to the afterlife.

Jewellery jewellery, jinglejangle, nowthennowthen.

Is Savile noncing up the Nolan on Youtube?

For those who aren't ardent fans of the Nolan sisters, it's at 3.30

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JygLGzNhiD8

yuck

I take it you'd choose the Shane Richie option

Pretty tame, by any standards. Don't DJs squeeze young girls like, all the time?

Like Jonathan King?

Nowadays it's more like ho's and bitches.

Don't DJs squeeze young girls like, all the time?

Very very few of the girls are 14.

That wasn't just a matey squeeze, that was copping a feel.

I'm sure Jonathan King never squeezed any young girls

Jimmy Savile would have done well to have followed his example in that regard

Anyway, whether he was a nonce is irrelevant. He was a DJ, and that is a far more serious crime.

I have to ask, what were the reasons that he stopped working at Leeds Royal?

Perhaps he wanted to take work home with him.

Did he feel dead earnest?

So are the crowds flocking?

I don't think that would really be appropriate even if it is what he would have wanted









Oh sorry you said FLOCKing

Ayethangyew!

There was a mortuary attendant in a hospital in West London who, it transpired, had his girlfriend visit him occasionally on his night shift.

He was fired.

Cool story, bro.

Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere, but this has just made me snigger hugely: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/03/arts/television/
jimmy-savile-tv-personality-dies-at-84.html?_r=2

At Christmastime the children’s present was a trip to a department store to see the toys.

Mr. Savile never married, though in talking of women he often described himself as a Lothario who could never be trapped into staying all night. “Good heavens,” he said in a 2000 BBC television profile, “anything more than two hours — brain damage!”

Information on survivors was unavailable.

Yike!

From above link:-

The coffin, alas, will be closed.

Class.

That's a dreaful article and why do the New York Times care?

Mr. Freeman was one of a rotating cast of co-hosts and guest hosts that over time included Davy Jones of the Monkees and Elton John. This arrangement, Mr. Savile often said, was to avoid overexposing himself.

I agree. Its a fucking crap article.

Bloody Hell, anyone read Popbitch?

I read Popbitch. I was going to cut and paste but then the formatting went all weird when I tried to post it in here.

Yeah!

Apologies for formatting.

Since Popbitch launched in 2000, we've often been asked which celebrity we'd had most stories about. It's not David Beckham. Nor even Paul Danan. "Jimmy Savile", was always the answer. Among a host of strange rumours is this one, the strangest. It involved Mr Savile, a penchant for necrophilia... and access to the morgue at Leeds General Infirmary which, the story went, he was given in return for his charity work. We've been told this story by probably 100+ people - including two DJs, six journalists and a member of the House of Lords - it was even supposed to be one of Larry Grayson's favourite yarns. But most often it was told to us by a Leeds resident, the Rev Goatboy, late of this parish, who always promised to leave the evidence to support this wild theory with one reliable person, on condition we'd only use it after Savile's death. Sadly, none of us can remember who was supposed to have been the guardian of this evidence. So we have none. We'll have to add this magnificent rumour to the pantheon of apocraphal celebrity stories for now. Unless it's you that has the evidence... (if so: hello@popbitch.com, please)

Oh, it worked.

Yay!

Popbitch basically said they are close to getting corpse fucking proof

But they haven't got it.

Losers.

Bah.

Sounds like a dead letter to me

Maybe there's no proof because it was made up by inadequates.

Or because there are no witnesses alive to tell the tale

Popbitch also linked to a bonkers page on David Icke's website, I think some of the people mentioned are still alive. Best not link.

I just read that, completely barmy and has actually made me feel quite ill, how does Icke getaway with it?, I'm scared to even utter a word of it.

A unifying conspiracy theory that incorporates Jimmy Savile, Lord Rothschild, Margaret Hodge and the Kray Twins certainly can't be described as unambitious in scale.

I doubt we will ever get proof that Sir Jinglejangle fucked corpses.

All we have is tittle tattle and heresay.

But, given that he was a corpse fucker, that's enough for me.

If he'd done it at all recently, I'd expect someone to have recorded it on their phone.

Yes - that's right, picture the scene.

Dead men don't do kiss and tell

If that nice nurse at the LGI is to be believed, it predated the use of cameras on mobile phones. He was at Stoke Mandeville for about 15 years, wasn't he?

Popbitch got nothing. Like Garrick I'm staring to think the weird old fucker didint have anything criminal to hide after all.

Listen here, popstar, I saw him in the flesh at Otley market once. The shorts he was wearing were obscenely short. The kind a deviant would wear.

So think on.

Look - I've never knowingly met a corpse fucker, and I've never knowingly met Jimmy Savile, therefore...

Jesus, how long did the nightmares last?

They are still keeping my therapist in fine wines and foreign holidays.

popstar is clearly part of the conspiracy.

No, I'm part of a different conspiracy altogether.

Look, I didn't know she was 6ft under, more like.

Self-deprecation is a high-risk humour strategy for a suspected corpse-shagger.

But most often it was told to us by a Leeds resident, the Rev Goatboy, late of this parish

I do not believe that anyone was genuinely called 'the Rev Goatboy'. That has to be made up.

Er, yes.

Fucking hell.

Towlie, being from Leeds, were your parents acquainted with Mr Savile at all?

Sadly, betty, I am only an immigrant to Leeds, and not a true Loiner born and bred, so no.

Ah right. No chance of him being your real dad then?

heh!

Well no, my mum is alive.

lol @ Towlie

I should hope so. She's only 30 after all.

I had a hard paper round.

I know a nurse who has worked at LGI for many years and she has no gossip, I'm afraid.

I do find it hard to imagine that Jim could regularly roger corpses without anyone noticing, unless he manages to keep them all quiet due to his underworld connections or because they think he's a smashing bloke off the telly.

Maybe he bribed them with gold and cigars. Or offered them a free dedication on the radio.

or he let them sit in his magic chair and handed out unauthorized Jim'll Fix It medallions

Is necrophilia a victimless crime?

So are there any photos of thousands filing past the coffin yet? All I can find in today's press is this:

exclusive_1_3936017

And the only scurrilous insinuation I can draw from it is that Savile was left-handed.

Clearly that's more evidence right there then.

I think that the Lying in State is on Tuesday. Avoid the centre of Leeds.

Fortunately I'm not in Leeds on Tuesday.

I am!

Well at least you now have something to occupy you at lunchtime.

I think that the Lying in State is on Tuesday.

Just on Tuesday? Are there not thousands clammering to file past the coffin? Does it really take that long to fit the animatronics?

Book of condolence?

A Savile book of condolence would make an interesting read.

Horrible flashback to the Ayatollah Khomeni's funeral, I just had. Let's hope the people of Leeds don't allow their grief to overcome them in such an undignified manner.

I'm fairly sure they won't.

The Ayatollah's funeral was ace.

There were a fair few corpse touchers in the crowd that day

... and secret close up TV pictures reveal a blonde haired white dude in a gold lame tracksuit starting the disturbance ...

I might go to view the coffin, if it's not raining, and there's nothing better to do.

Is there free entry?

It better be free, I'm not paying.

Surely there be a charidee collection?

It will be well guarded by the police. You'll need to penetrate the ring of steel.

Take pics and comments from the book of condolence.

DO IT.

Don't forget to shout out CLUNK-CLICK, YOU KIDDY-FIDDLING WEIRDO as the coffin is loaded into the hearse.

Play it safe - shove a stake through his heart

Don't forget to shout

And run after the hearse, banging angrily on the side.

"Is there free entry?"

Hahahahaha.

All these unkind comments... you know he'll come back and haunt us, particularly those of us who have impressionable teenage daughters. All you'll hear will be the faint jingle-jangling of jewellery in the dead of night and you'll catch a whiff of cigar smoke before the words "How's about that then guys and gals?" appear in blood on the walls.

Like a perverted Marley.

Bob, Jacob or Jennifer Aniston's Labrador?

LOL

I am still traumatised by the vision of him climbing through children's hospital windows dressed in a wetsuit.

That's eeven more frightening than Pennywise the Clown.

btw,

The thing about Colleen Nolan must be semi-public knowledge.

I posted on it, because the Nolan sisters themselves (on some BBC1 nostalgia documentary about TOTP in its 70's heyday) were recounting (cheerily, which was even more gobsmacking) how they had to form a human shield round Colleen to stop her being chased round by Savile on set.

Euuuugghhhhhh



Colleen wasn't in that actual interview.



Had no idea about the Auberon Waugh obit though. Tried googling it and not come up with anything.

When Cyril Smith died last year there were fawning tributes from all the papers, and I suppose he's still thought of by most people as a kindly fat eccentric. It took Private Eye and Kevin Maguire in the Mirror to point out there were sworn affadvits that he used to abuse boys in the local care home which Smith never sued for libel over.

*returns from googling*

Oh ok maybe she was interviewed after all

Byline: BY PETER ROBERTSON

"THIS is the moment when a normally mild-mannered Nolan sister almost turned nasty.

Coleen Nolan revealed the horror she felt when she was intimately cuddled by TV presenter Jimmy Savile as a young teenager on Top Of The Pops.

Now aged 43 and a panelist on ITV 1s Loose Women, Coleen says Maureen, Anne, Bernie and Linda - performing as The Nolan Sisters - glowered at the then 53-year old Savile as he held Coleen tightly under her right breast. Footage of the incident was shown on a BBC2 documentary We Are Family, which was broadcast on Saturday, December 6.

Coleen, who had been an audience guest on that 1979 edition of TOTP , a year before joining her family's group, said: "I stood next to Jimmy.

"I was 14, and he was all over me.

"I could see my sisters glaring: 'You touch her and we'll kill you!' "And they would have." "

Nah, they wouldn't have.
