Why?
75 years old, our entry for Eurovision.
Has someone at the BBC finally lost the plot?
Or are they hoping he keels over on stage and gets the sympathy vote?
 
I honestly thought it was a wind-up when I saw it...However, it is a joke of a competition where the winner is now always picked on politics, so why not..
 
I think his original name was Arnold or something, and I believe he got his stage name from a 19th century German composer..
 
He has a big worldwide fan following, sold a lot of records, so it might work in our favour.

Arnold Dorsey, worked as Gerry Dorsey before the name change.

Had the displeasure to meet him.
I was having a drink and a right laugh with Cilla and the Barton Brothers in the Planet Suite. (Name dropping or what, anyone else remember the Planet Suite?)
EH turned up, Cilla introduced us, we shook hands.
He then stood in between me and the rest of the company with his back blocking me.
Me being the quiet retiring type, I waited till he leaned for his drink gave him a shove and re-established my position in the company.
He put his drink down eyed me up and down, but thought better of it. :p
The Barton Brothers who weren't in the same league as Cilla and EH in celebrity terms, were pissing themselves laughing.
 
Pleeeeezzzzzzeeeee release me let me go, for I don't love you anymoreeeeeeee.

I drank with them every time they were doing the clubs up here.
Hardly changed there act all the years I knew them, I would still end up in tears when they took the piss.
Best one I ever saw a woman actually ended up near to tears, they took the piss as she went to the loo.
Then told everybody to keep quiet and just watch her walk back to her seat.
Totally surreal but funny as feck.
 
Maybe we could get this guy, he was born in Stoke...

used to get about 5-6 beers before the BB's came on stage. didn't dare get up for a piss.

then repeat the above before the 2nd spot began
 
I saw them once where they were singing a song, and then a big fat lass thought it would be safe to go to the toilet. When she reached in the middle of the walkway right in front of the stage, they stopped the song in mid flow, and just stared at her for a few seconds, before one of them jumped down off the stage, went right up to her, and then asked the audience to thank her for walking down the middle because if she had walked down the side she would have tilted the club...Very cruel but also very funny..<laugh>

I went with them to a workmen's in the land of the unwashed.
May have been Benwell can't remember now, they were cracking anti Sunderland jokes.
They asked the audience how to spot a gay Sunderland supporter.
WHEN NO ONE ANSWERED THEY POINTED AT ME AT THE END OF THE BAR! <rofl>
