Its the one Im aiming for Not a chance for me, I'm feeling like I'm falling apart already! Same. Although I think my death certificate is just going to say "Couldn't be fucking bothered any more".
As for Rolf, I genuinely thought he died years ago. Turns out that was just his career. Never trust a man with sinister facial hair.
Ah well Rolf, back down to burn in hell, or whatever you call it. Australia.
NOTE: I don't mind Australia at all. In fact, I think it's a rather pleasant country full of wonderful people. |

Of all the celeb peado revelations Harris for me is the most upsetting. He was SO beloved and cherished as a national treasure. Genuinely had David Attenborough level status. And all that time he was pure evil.

Yeah it was a real shocker actually. I mean, you could almost understand with Savile, I mean fucking look at him. Rolf though, he was the quintessential entertainer and I genuinly enjoyed watching his telly stuff in my youth.

Rolf though, he was the quintessential entertainer and I genuinly enjoyed watching his telly stuff in my youth. True but you look at him now, with adult eyes, and allllllll it makes sense. I've essentially put all adults that were directly working with children in shows that I used to watch as a kid under a watchlist. People like him, Saville and Cosby (who obviously didn't abuse children but is still a rapist) all share that same trait of unbelievable moral authority. Absolute cunts the lot of em. |

And all that time he was pure evil. This was the sealer, as if it needed sealing: time.com/3920723/rolf-harris-song-accusers-sexual-assault/It kind of blew my mind that it was all just an act and he was just rotten to the core. You could always tell Saville was a wrong un but Rolf came off as just a genuinely fun and enthusiastic guy. I used to love absolutely Rolfs cartoon club. Mind you, there were rumours of him asking someone to suck his dick when he played at our students union when he was tourning as a retro novelty act, so it probably shouldnt have come as a massive shock. |

I'm glad Nick brought up that song, as it's the first thing to come to mind whenever I think about Rolf Harris (which I try to do as infrequently as possible, although I'm glad to make an exception today).
Pure, unadulterated scumbaggery.

No way Rolf was in the same league or even the same sport as Attenborough, in terms of status.

He was huge for a long time, like Terry Wogan, Noel Edmunds and Philip Schofield.
Attenborough has never peaked quite the same, he’s just gone for the slow and steady approach to being a National treasure.

Did anyone else write into Jim'll Fix It back in the day, asking to be introduced to Michael Jackson?
I think I may have dodged a bullet (so to speak).

Hey, it wouldn't have been all bad - I'd have got on TV!
Probably more than once, now I think about it.

Known he was dodgy since the 90’s, but only because a friend at college had summer jobs at the BBC on reception and was warned not to allow herself to get into a lift, room etc alone with him. The BBC knew what he was like.

Johnny Ball is still alive.
He’s a climate change denier too.
