Jimmy Saville
T66 - 9/11/11 at 10:30 PM

If your going to leave a legacy of good when you die - then a profile like Jimmy Savilles would be hard to beat.



Much loved by Leeds and all the charities he supported.




Not many givers left in this world...




Yes Ive had a glass of medicinal wine or three , but Im not well.

buried at 45 degrees so he can see the sea,

He really was "an eccentric", otherwise known as a nutter, but absolutely none the worse for all that!

A fine bloke who did a huge amount for charity - not just money, but his own time, plus all sorts of free publicity.

It still is......... but that does not mean it is good for you health.

Still, if smoking cigars means you live to 84, then I'd better start pronto.

Good point.

Also when was he last seen smoking it?

I've just read they are encasing him in concrete, they don't mean him getting back out

Word is hes burried in his jewelery, and its to stop thieving scum trying to get to it, sad indicment of the times we live in and the filth we are forced to share the planet with.

Have you ever read "A tale of two cities" by Charles Dickens? Grave robbers have been around a VERY long time!

Or even Lord Caernarvon (sp?), a well-known grave robber - sorry, archaeologist - who raided Tutenkamun's grave...
