Quite why my wife’s parents would do this to a child is beyond me but nonetheless

The certificate or the haircut?

Came here for this I was also a victim of the 70’s basin haircut

My brother did this swimathon thing, they eventually had to tell him to get out of the pool, otherwise he’d have carried on all day.

I remember the film well. I also remember feeling that if I ate any of the same thing everyday for a month I'd probably wouldn't feel amazing. But 53 is no age - RIP.

No Age. Probably not related to that junk he ate for a month doing the documentary but it certainly gets you thinking about eating that st. RIP.

Probably more to do with the fact he was an alcoholic which caused most of the health issues allegedly eating Maccies for a month.

Still, no age as you say.

Absolutely mad. He only just withdrew from the tournament. Next day, gone!

Richard Sherman. With his brother wrote most of the classic Disney songs…and to which the BBC wrongly suggest Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Yes, he did do that too, but that was United Artists

Plus loads of the songs/music you’ll hear if you visit the theme parks. One of the ‘classic’ Disney production team. I’ll have Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as an ear worm all day.

Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh, dum de dum de dum de dum de…

So many memorable tunes, most of them happy or uplifting. Given I can’t remember any of the songs from Eurovision the other week, quite an achievement to have songs that have lasted 60 years or more and still be ‘current’.

His agent David Shaul told Variety, external he was an "outstanding human being".

He continued: "He would literally give you the shirt off his back.

But apparently not his catalytic convertor.
