I always wanted to do that roll across the car bonnet thing but never did - I doubt I`d be able to get up there now without breaking my neck! RIP David, another memory of much simpler times slips away. Sorry to chip in so late but back in 70's during the Starsky and Hutch era my Nan made my Mum & Dad and myself the Starsky chunky knit cardy thing with identical pattern to Starsky's. We used to sit watching Starsky and Hutch with our cardies on. I was a huge fan but above all Antonio Fargas (Huggy Bear) was my favourite. About 15-20 years back he was in panto at Weston super Mare. I saw him outside the playhouse and as a grown adult I was so made up to see him but so awestuck I couldn't go and say hi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have told this story on here before, however, several years ago when my kids were still at school (6th form),Henry Winkler,(The Fonz),was visiting their school as part of the reading project he is very passionate about. I was on the point of exploding with excitement when they both told me they weren't interested and indeed they didn't bother going.I still haven't forgiven them after all these years!

Really sad to hear of Shane's passing, and at such a young age. Yeah I used to see him and Dave Bateman (who also died way too young) down the football in the early Vice Squad days.

I don't know which province you are in Tone, but we visited friends down in the Limousin District before COVID, and you could be describing almost every other property down there.
