He tells jokes and tells them flawlessly. The first video I posted is a comedian roast where he turned up and did the WORST speech jokes possible, I think he found them in a ‘how to’ book for speeches, and delivered them knowing he’d bomb just because it would make his friends laugh. He’s also done an interview on the roast, as it is revered, taking about how he just did it instead of pretending it was some grand commentary. just a **** hilarious guy. Not denying it, I just find it absolutely bizarre that I've never heard of him and don't recall him at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who never experienced the joy of a ZX Spectrum - this was the keyboard layout. Every key had 4 or 5 functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmygreaves Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Jimmy Greaves, a personal hero of mine, has passed away at 81. Genuinely, one of the greatest British footballers of all time who I feel has never been cherished as highly as perhaps he should have been. RIP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
