Here we go again, out with the usual set of clichés. It seems that Willo, king of self promotion just can't help himself

I truly believe that you don't realise how you come across. You often refer to "people you know" or footballers you have titbits on. I can believe it is all true just remember not everybody does have the same access so try and impart information with humbleness rather than hubris. Just saying that you're stoking the fire. Oh my. Pot and kettle leap to mind, here.

Well he seemed like an odious individual. Just read that link Superfly posted. Awful stuff. I met Cecil on a few occasions and he was the portrait of suave aplomb, a man of erudition and a true gentleman. BULLs***

There are those who are being judgemental about a particular episode in his lifetime.I'm not privy to all the facts but I thought I would re-dress the balance by stating how I found him on the occasions I met him.Found him to be a very nice and erudite chap. Hitler would also come across a portrait of suave aplomb

To make a comparison between Parkinson and Savile is repugnant and reprehensible.

BULLs*** I've no time for a so-called distinguished gentleman who doesn't give a damn about his daughter whom he never wanted to see or never even sent a birthday / XMAS card to. If you can cheat on family life then one's professional attributes ring hollow. Famous really only for commandeering Thatcher's 1983 General Election.

To defend someone we met on a few occasions, because, upon those occasions, he was polite & erudite in his conversation with us, is a strange approach. The treatment of his daughter & mistress over many years reveal more than a few meetings in a public place. Met Rolf Harris once, and he was really nice, had a couple of drinks, discussed art. Seemed a great bloke, but turned out years later to be a nonce. Thing about people is they are multi-faceted and complex. Hitler by all accounts was a great chatter and conversationalist. No problem with a guy wanting nothing to do with his daughter. In my opinion, either parents should get involved as much as possible or take no part. Its the ones that just fulfil their own guilty feelings and flip flop between the two that cause the damage.

I met the bloke from the Go Compare advert before Christmas. Beat that.
