    Rip frank

    BBC News - Man behind Frank Sidebottom, Chris Sievey, dies

    Sad day indeed
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        Very sad news
        I remember seeing him at the Hacienda many many years ago.
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          "North West showbiz legend "

          Never heard of him... is this an example of modern day limited talent performers being elevated to a status above their true capabilities?
          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            No. He was always tulip. He had a little run maybe about 20 years ago on late night C4. Otherwise, crap. Rest his soul.

              I saw in the article that it was a 'cult' show - which is usually shorthand for puerile rubbish... and C4- 'nuff said

                How's little frank taken it. He's out of work now!
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                  There you go. Hugely predictable.
                  Desperately trying to be contentious like the bottom-feeding attention seeker you are.
                  Try and come up with something original if it is not beyond you. You are damaging the street cred of Trolls the Net over, you tedious, one-dimensional, slack-jawed little oik.

                    No disrespect but I've never heard of him. Somebody was on about him on the train home last night & I just can't work out what all the fuss is about. He also then started banging on about someone called Ted Chippington. I seem to exist in a parallel universe.
