Isn't that clip in one of the Reeling in the Years from the mid 90s actually?

If you say so.

Ok; I say so.

Like yourself, the name rang just a vague bell. But your post reminded me of the clip.

Gotta love it, in death Gusty Spence is applauded for trying to bring a terrorist organisation he created towards peace. Marty McGuinness hails from the other side of the divide with a pretty similar background, and some sections of the media are making him out to be the devil because he wants to become the next McAleese! R.I.P to him and also to David Croft. He co-wrote such shows as: Dad's Army, It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Hi-De-Hi, Are you being served? 'Allo 'Allo and Grace and Favour. Some pretty cracker shows to be honest!

They were weak shows with Dads Army the best if them. Are you being served is one if the worst things ever committed to tv.

There's a difference between an obituary and a reaction to application for the role of figurehead of the nation. But then, you knew that. It made me laugh to see someone defending McGuinness by wilfully ignoring obviously pertinent information though: thanks for the chuckle.

There was always a chance that this was coming when he didn't show up to the I-phone 4S launch.

A computer cunningly disguised as a Drummer boy. Genius.
