Poor wee Jimmy Krankie.

Jeepers! The wee Krankie has a very big, (if rather oddly shaped and sickly coloured), well, ..., er, ... Krank!

That's one fucked up photo for sure.

Jimmy just told a funny joke about republicans...

Jimmy just told a funny joke about republicans...

More likely a joke about pooh pooh.
Charlie ain't got the brains for political stuff. Actually, he ain't even got the brains to use a toothbrush.
He's got a man who does it for him.

While I never liked Jimmy Savile, there's something very fishy about all these claims.
Not one single official claim while he's alive, and yet forty or fifty now he's dead. ( having coincidentally left millions in his estate ).

If I was a girl who had EVER been around Jimmy Savile, I would now be telling of horrendous abuse. I like the smell of money just as much as the next girl.

How strange, nobody complained when he was alive. He must have had super powers.

You're as cynical as I am, Mr Mack. That was exactly my thinking. There's a line in a Scottish song about the oil industry, "....an awfy smell o money", and that was what started going through my head as soon as this blew up. And the family, who originally said, "lay off - he's not long dead", are now saying how sympathetic they are to everybody, in the hope that it'll diminish the amount of cash that the courts direct away out of his estate.

Doubtless, there will be people who've been damaged by what Savile did, but I don't know how the courts will differentiate between them and those who just smell compensation. And if the losers end up being people who have to wait even longer for surgery because NHS budgets are hit by punitive damages, I shall think that stinks.

Today's update:

"The estate of Jimmy Savile has been frozen in response to the mounting sexual abuse claims against the late television and radio star.

NatWest Bank, which is acting as the Jim'll Fix It presenter's will executor and trustee, said the distribution of his assets had been put on hold because of the allegations.

Savile's estate is reportedly worth £4.3m.

NatWest said in a statement: 'Given the claims raised, distribution of the estate has been put on hold.'

Savile's will, written in 2006, bequeaths his savings and other assets to 26 separate beneficiaries, according to the Financial Times.

The newspaper said it had obtained a copy of the document which instructs that £20,000 in cash was to be shared between 20 of the celebrity's friends, family and neighbours.

It says a further £600,000 was to be put into a trust fund, with the interest shared between eight people.

The remainder - just under £3.7 million before expenses - was to be held by NatWest on behalf of The Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust, according to the FT.

Savile's intended individual beneficiaries include the trustees of both his charities and existing and former employees of Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor Hospital, the newspaper added.

Police are investigating claims that the star, who died in October last year, sexually assaulted individuals at both NHS sites.

Savile's estate was previously put on hold in July after a woman claimed to be his illegitimate daughter, the FT said."

Have YOU ever been in a room with Jimmy Savile? Do YOU like money as much as the rest of the lying bitches?

Then call Macky and Macky on 0100 100 and we'll take them to the fuckin cleaners.

Remember, you pay us nothing, as we negotioate a gigantic fee as costs from the other side, leaving you with fuck-all. But then again, that's exactly what you deserve.

Remember, you owe it to yourself, for what you ( wink wink ) went through !!

I see a certain resemblance to those annoying PPI adverts, and to those equally annoying adverts by ambulance-chasing law firms ...

Oh yes, I heard about that one a couple of days ago.

[Audley Strange]

They knew, there's no way they didn't know, that's far too obvious.

Exactly. There's no real point to the joke otherwise. Who screens these comments before they get read out?
