Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh

Dear Frankie,

Now then, now then,

Thank you for your letter.  Amiga top of the computer world again?  Well here at the Fix-It team we like a good challenge, yes we do, don't we Mr Cigar?  Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh.

So we decided to contact the Amiga owners and ask them to get their act together.

Now then, now then,

But to our surprise we can't find them!  Oh dear.  Don't worry though because nobody leaves empty handed now, do they boys and girls?  No sir.

So, here's your Fix-It badge and I've arranged for you to spend an hour in a hotel room with Angelina Jolie, a can of whipped creeam and a bottle of Viagra.

Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh!

[Darrin]

and just so that everybody knows what we're talking about (and that we haven't gone mad), here's ex-DJ Sir Jimmy Saville:


and here he is "fixing it" for some kid to meet K9:


This was of course back in the days when it was perfectly OK for childrens' TV presenters to be seen smoking huge cigars in front of families at 5pm on a Saturday afternoon on BBC TV while also sounding completely drunk.

for gawds sake !!!

Dear Jim

I know that I started out this thread by asking you to perform the miracle of all miracles by getting the Amiga back on top again. :lol:

But... Their seems to be a more urgent thing for you to fix regarding our fellow Amigans across the pond.

It would seem from the last few posts that a great depression has descended upon them in the good old U S of A. They seem downright miserable and are rambling on incoherently about doom & gloom and politics. I think they must have had their sense of humor stolen or most likely bought from them by the nasty Mr Graits at MickeySoft.

I know their attention span isn't that great over there (TV ads every 5 minutes during progs) but in the space of just a few posts they have totally lost the thread and gone off on an whole other tangent about things that the rest of the world doesn't have a clue about !!! :roflmao:

So please, please, pretty please can you fix it for our terminally bewildered friends over there, to have an urgent sense of humor transplant, I would be only too glad to donate some of mine. :biglaugh:

Thank you Jim (although even this is a much taller order, than resurrecting the Amiga..) :roflmao:

From Franko, aged 102 now ( and starting to feel depressed ) :lol:

PS: DONT FORGET ABOUT THE MIGGY

Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh

Now then boys and girls, what do you think of that letter?

Dear Frankie,

Now then, now then,

Try not to worry too much, because if you had a Kenyan for a Prime Minister then you'd be a bit depressed too, wouldn't he Mr Cigar? Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh.

Yes indeedy.

Now then, now then,

Uhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh-uhhhh-ahhhh!

etc, etc

Anyone who names their kid "Fifi Trixibell" should not be allowed anywhere near the Amiga.

LOL.  There's a link to an old ANN thread too.  Look at this comment from way back (deja vu):

Bio
---

Born in Leeds, Jimmy Saville was the eldest of 7 children. His first job at 14 was a coalface worker, then a scrap metal seller. He used to all-in wrestle two nights a week. His first taste of the 'pop' industry was as an assistant manager for Leeds Locarno (Mecca Club). He later shot to fame on Radio Luxembourg in the 1960's. He was voted top British disc jockey for several years in that decade, by various magazines.

in 1964, he presented the first BBC 'Top of the Pops' music programme on television.

He held a record for running up the BT tower in London, and is well known for running and walking marathons across the UK in aid of many good causes.

He is famous for his outlandish clothes, Rolls Royce, cigar, jewellery and catch phrases such as 'how's about that, then', 'now then, now then', 'guys and gals' and 'eaeh eh eaeh eh'. By the mid 70's he was fronting the popular "Jim'll Fix It" show on BBC1. Jimmy Saville was awarded an OBE.



Jimmy is also well remembered in the UK for his parts in long-running television commercials for British Rail (this is the age.........of the train) and 'Clunk Click every trip' public information films.

Surprisingly, Jimmy was not one of the original team of D.J.'s on the new BBC 'Pop' station, starting instead nine months later. Here, he hosted 'Saville's Travels', a 'youth' chat show where he travelled up and down the country with a tape recorder chatting to people and playing records. In one episode, he climbed Ben Nevis in the middle of winter. Later he presented 'The Old Record Club' (the show's theme tune was The In Crowd by the Ramsey Lewis Trio) on Radio 1, Sunday afternoons until 1987.

A popular personality with one of the highest profiles ever, he has raised millions for charity.
