He had trouble telling the time though. Something to do with not knowing where the big hand and little hand should be.
When I lived in Edinburgh I went to a pub quiz once with a few blokes from work in The Waterline in Leith. It was the week beadle had died so I thought a good name for team would be 'Give a small hand for Jeremey Beadle'. After the first few rounds the scores got read out but everytime our score got called out our team was called simply 'Jeremy Beadle'. I'd had a few and at the half time interlude I was at the bar when up walks the quiz master. I asked why not use the full name - people wouldn't benefit from my wit. He explained slowly and calmly that although he didn't find it offensive, some people might, you know people that have one of these. At this point he lifted up a wee deformed hand. I said fair point and ****ed off to the toilets while he got served. I stayed to the end of the quiz and never went back.
