Just about to post it.
I always find it strange how he will be forgotten by the generations that come after us. It's rather sobering.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Better late than never, but Patrick Leigh-Fermor never got a mention here. Passed away in June aged 96. Among other things, he walked from Rotterdam to Istanbul in 1933 (writing two highly acclaimed books on the trip 40 and 50 years later) and during the war smuggled a Nazi general out of German-occupied Crete in the general's car, dressed in the general's uniform, with the general in the back, through 22 check points. I don't think the phrase "Ní bhfeicimíd a leithéid arís" has ever been more appropriate.

Joe Frazier RIP
"Smokin' Joe" as he was called and if they cremate him, he will be living up to his nickname He lived in an era where it meant something to be world heavyweight Champion (they were huge world figures) but I'd be hard pressed to recall more than 2 over the past 10 years (perhaps that's just my fading memory!).

I know the rumours you are referring to, but they are just that. It's standard fare when someone is of am eccentric nature to tar them with that brush.
An aspect to the point though that I was trying to make is that when people who are ubiquitous to one generation die like Jimmy, its very rare that they would transcend generations. Eg my brother will gave no idea who he is, or Gerry Ryan or John Peel etc. That's all.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Saville was on TV for nearly 30 years. My gran loved him, my folks knew him and I knew him. Thats at least 3 generations. Just because he didn't reach your brother doesn't mean he was confined to one generation.
His pretty sharpish drop off the scene may also be explained by these, eh, rumours
EDIT; and just to emphasise, these aren't "eccentric" rumours.

Dodge, what point are you making there about what I wrote re his transcending generations? Did you misunderstand what I wrote or are you being deliberately obtuse?
I was making a statement about the tenuous and fleeting nature of our existence here in most cases.
