    Billy Graham : thy work is done.
    Hopefully there is nothing #MeToo to be
    revealed about him.

    There'll be more than that about Graham, I'm sure.
    A short period of mourning, followed by a lawsuit-free swarm of accusations and revelations.

    I thought he must have died around 20 years ago as he seemed really old then.
    But he hadn't; he was 99.

    I understand that the average UK life expectancy was temporarily increased during its closure.

    I saw Billy Graham in Haringey Stadium in 1954. The big attraction to my friend & I (we were 12 years old) was Roy Rogers & his beautiful horse Trigger, stars of Saturday morning pictures, who were supporting BG. We couldn't take our eyes off them. No telly back then so to actually see your heroes in the flesh, Americans to boot, was mind boggling! So much so I still recall it all today and I was 76 last Friday!
    RIP Billy & thanks.

    I can remember two of my school teachers attending that when I was attending Parkhurst "prison". They couldn't stop talking about it,
    That was in my non church going days!!!!
    But I'm feeling much better now!

    I was there too. A bit holier then than I am now!!!!! And not a big Roy Rogers fan (although I remember the song about his “four-legged friend”!)
    Slightly belated Many Happy Returns, young lady!

    I must admit to not being a Roy Rogers fan either.Wild West and cars in the same movie didn't register with me. But I'd go anywhere to see The Durango Kid!

    Many thanks for all the belated birthday wishes and to SD for pointing out my 'anniversary'. I hadn't noticed! That 6 years has flown by and I'm so glad I joined to be with fellow fans through all the ups & downs. Your a lovely bunch even the moany ones <whistle> (I tend to be the optimistic sort) but the humour, musicality & knowledge of our Spurs board is superb.
    Thanks again for your good wishes, I had my best present the previous Sat thanks to the laddo's 1.0 which I had the pleasure of watching with 2 gooners <laugh><laugh><laugh> who were visiting <laugh><laugh><laugh>
