I have a phone number in my phone which belonged to a friend of mine before me, which said friend claims to be the actual phone number of Jimmy Savile. It doesn't work, but my pal swears he has talked to Jimmy Savile on it in the past. There's a story of why he would at least theoretically have his phone number, but I can't remember what it is.

I've gotta rep for the Ripper keeping his trademark hair and beard all these years, instead of shaving and getting a bit of an easier life maybe.

I can't fathom why Jimmy Saville would want to hang around with someone famous for murdering women and carelessly dumping the bodies around Yorkshire

This photo was taken 18 years ago, he might have got rid of the beard by now. Also Saville probably not breaking the law.

Grim Gordon Brown has put his foot down and said that Sutcliffe will never be released.
Great! We can ignore all expert opinions, stop hiring doctors and professionals and allow the tabloids to dictate Government policy. The same tabloids who pay 13-year-old criminals, put them on their front pages and encourage others to do the same.

Why do all the posters on The Sun HYS think that Sutcliffe has never stood trial? Very odd.

saw sadowitz in a pub in ealing once, rehearsing his tour, and it was one of the funniest things i’ve seen (partly because it definitely wasn’t for a lot of the people there). then i went to see pretty much exactly the same show at the royal festival hall (bit weird) and it felt offensive and flat.

agree. there's just something cringe about the whole setup. an audience pays to have someone be funny for them. no wonder so many stand-up comics are assholes. i'm not sure why i don't feel this way about theater. the older i get the more my definition of humor turns to spontaneous riffing among friends.
