Jimmy Saville is still alive...

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

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.

Beard hides scars from when he was attacked in Parkhurst.

Great bit of publicity there for Capital Gold.

Sutcliffe is travelling through time on a magical island!

While also working as a traffic warden...

apparently at first the guys followed police directions to sutcliffe and got stuck in a blind alley in wearside

Just sayin.

He was on the 1976 TOTP last week introducing Eddie and the Hot Rods, insisting that they should go to number one. Bless him, for once!

Is Jimmy Hill still alive?????

That's a chin scratcher.

When Saville does go I'm sure he'll be happy where he ends up. I've heard he loves the dead.

JH xD.

well.. supposedly not now.

I bet whoever bought his underpants at auction is feeling a bit sick.

Ewww

On the other hand, I don't think these allegations are much of a shock to anyone are they? I mean it *is* shocking that these things are said to have happened how and where they did, but all the same, I don't think anyone would underestimate the man's creepiness.

Good piece by Suzanne Moore on the whole mess surrounding Savile and seventies guys' idea of "fun": http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/oct/03/liking-young-girls-not-preference-perversion

Jesus Christ. No longer sure if this guy was real or if David Peace made him up.

Sorry, that's crass.

Also funny, true

The whole of seventies Britain is now beginning to look like David Peace made it up!

Sorry, that's crass.

no, that's exactly what i've been thinking too.

^ display name is very distracting

Well my phrasing was clumsy at least - he was obviously a very real and dangerous guy.

Anyhow, some of the fallout:

I was a bit surprised at all this because I'd heard that necrophilia rumour for so long - a bit jarring to put him into a different (& more real, hurtful) category of foulness.

I mean, how long ago was that Irvine Welsh story? 1994? 1995?

1996, fwiw

More shocked now by the jewish query than the necrophiliac one.

There's also this Have I Got News For You 'outtake', which I always assumed was fake:

http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/rogerb/jokes/HIGNFY.txt

would be an excellent fake if so

Private Eye is going to have an absolute fucking field day with all this by the way.

That transcript is fucking great...shame that HIGNFY is a bit wank these days.

yeah I just remembered that HIGN thing, it's from like 2001 but iirc was pretty swiftly debunked at the time
