    Saw him at White Mare Pool live what a character.
    I've seen Ken Dodd live also they both used their Geordie and Scouse heritage to entertain thousands of people.

    Once spent half an hour in Bobbys company. I was being investigated for tax evasion and summoned to appear in court, I was ushered into a tiny waiting and only other occupant that day was sitting in one corner, I sat down opposite and all I got was a glum stare from "The Little Waster" himself, we never spoke a single word, I got the last laugh I was called first. <laugh>

    Give her an extended show man! If it helps even though Mrs EJK was born in Corbridge, she’s as East Midlands as you can get. She doesn’t get BT either.
