Even though I was surprised he was still alive, it was sad to hear of his death!

MellySingsDoom · 12.10.2008, 08:58 AM

Bye bye to Mister Bagpuss/Clangers/Ivor the Engine etc

floatingslowly · 12.10.2008, 09:44 AM

I have no idea who half the threads on this board are about!

Agreed. The Clangers and the Mice on the Magical Mouse Organ were pretty important elements of my growing up.

i heard him on desert island discs a few years ago, he seemed like a bit of an arse hole

That may be so, but it doesn't lessen the brilliance of his creations.

I always assume that it's someone from England that I don't know. I may be right, I may be wrong. I does make me feel better than thinking I'm simply uninformed though.

logically speaking, you could say that if he is an arsehole then anything he creates must be shit.

Yeah, there are always a lot of threads about British twats that nobody outside of their island has heard of.
You'd think they might as well confine them all to one thread.

It's the old 'civilising the savages' complex. Britain may not have an Empire anymore but it's imperialist impulses live on. It's clear that we as a nation can never properly rest until every corner of the globe is made aware of Coleen Rooney, Tizer and Gordon Ramsey.

pokkeherrie · 12.10.2008, 12:10 PM

I know Gordon Ramsey, but not the other two.
Also, without you good people on this board I'd probably never have heard of Russell Brand* or Girls Aloud.

*at least not until that incident where he got fired by the bbc

demonrail666 · 12.10.2008, 12:32 PM

Fear not, I'm sure it won't be too long before Gordon Ramsey turns up in the Netherlands to remind your chefs that until they learn to say 'fuck' at least three times a sentence they'll never really be able to make a decent omelette.

pokkeherrie · 12.10.2008, 12:50 PM

Oh, he's on Dutch television already, plus I think there's even a Dutch adaption too of that programme where he goes to restaurants to insult the manager, the cook, the waitress and her dog.

It's Coleen Rooney and Tizer that I don't know about.

demonrail666 · 12.10.2008, 01:09 PM

Sorry, yeah.

Tizer (Soft drink. Cheaper than Pepsi or Coke. Tastes like soap.)

Coleen Rooney. (Wife of Wayne Rooney. Looks pretty. Shops a lot)

pokkeherrie · 12.10.2008, 01:31 PM

Ah, Wayne Rooney's wife... I should've known that! I didn't realise he was married.
We have a Dutch adaption of her too, she's called Sylvie van der Vaart.

pbradley · 12.10.2008, 01:50 PM

America has more than its fair share of gates.

Unless Postgate engaged in a spectacularly corrupt controversy, he is no gate to us!

Oh yeah, I've seen her. Married to Rafael Van der Vaart the Madrid player right?
