As I have said bugs it is upto other people where it goes, I don't try to control what other people do or say. If you want to close it close it that's down to you.

It would have helped if you had made it clear what the discussion was about from the beginning Molly, rather than the cryptic title. 

You could also have asked folks to stick to answering your question when responding and not veering off into political discussion.

In answer to your point above - contrary to what some seem to believe, we try to keep discussions open! No reason to close this one at the moment.

Cheers

Bugs the only person that as mentioned politics is you. Me thinks you only want to argue instead of seeing where the discussion would go, and at that I am out of here.

I'm not going.

I saw him speak on a memorably hilarious evening on his "alimony" tour a couple of years back. He spoke briefly about his early life in the West Country, his joining a group of fellow souls and the way he rose to prominence amongst them by bouncing the most outrageous and random ideas off them.

Never afraid to tell a joke at his own expense, he mentioned the way some people laughed at the disability which produced a funny walking style, his sadness at the early death of a pet parrot he'd bought and his bumbling attempts at tact by not mentioning the war in front of a visiting German delegation.

If he wasn't such an obviously self-deprectaing man, one would think his latest TV appearances were a rather pathetic sign of neediness (why else stooop to attacking a police vehicle?).

One of the nicest and certainly funniest men Britain has produced over the past 50 years or so!

It was John Cleese we were talking about wasn't it?

Sorry Moulesy I disagree..

Its the man who revoutionised under water exploration. Jacques Cousteau.  Although deceased, his descriptions of his achievements, films of his life and the enviroment in which he worked, brings life to the procedings. 

I'm not convinced. My money's on Judith Chalmers.

K9 that is one mane I would pay money to see, used to watch his programmes on to and read quite a number of books. He encourage me to take up Scuba diving, what an experience.

Very nice how this thread as gone, really encouraging, far more interesting than what tea do you drink. Appreciate how people have approached this goes to show there are interesting things to talk about.

Ah that well known Canadian "Pet Detective"....how nice to see him in the flesh...
