Working In A Coal Mine
Posted by Mr Drayton on 13 May 2008 - 9:58am.
I work for the BBC in Newcastle.
Newcastle was built on mining and shipyards. Hard, dangerous manual work.
Sometimes working in an office can be a drag, but as I often say, it's not working underground or in heavy industry.
Until now. I'm editing a package featuring Little Jimmy Osmond and I've had to edit Long Haired Lover From Liverpool to fit the interview. Over and over again.
Altogether now: IIIIII'LLLLLLLLLL BBBEEEEEEEE YYYOOOUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR....

Pop quiz
What slight variation on his birthname did John Peel give him on TOTP?
The answer...
...to this poser is somewhere in the darkened recesses of my mind, but I can't find it. I've tried googling, to no avail. So, if nobody gets it within the next few days, can you please put me out of my misery and post the answer?
was it...
...'that little shit - Jimmy Osmond'?
It was...
"Little Jimmy Pellet"
Which is what he has been known as ever since.
Thanks...
...for posting the answer.
Being a short
fat ginger chap once upon a time (I'm still most of the above now, just add tall and balding) my party piece was singing this ditty. (Cringes)
ps Mr Drayton, I fear you make work near an old journo student pal of mine
