    Default Self-professed 'first' DJ Sir Jimmy Saville dead.

    The man, the legend, Sir Jimmy Saville has died.

    wearing tracksuits and bling before it was cool. Being allegedly the first man to use 2 turntables, and fixing it for us all. Rest in peace man.

    US guys might not have much idea of who he is, but he's a British institution, and he will be missed.

    Very sad news indeed.
    100% fact, the first nightclub owner that used 2 turntables.
    Another little known fact is that my mums friend was one of his many girlfriends in the 60's. He was a mentalist.

    If you can find Louis Therouxs documentary on him you will love it. You will also realise that he was in fact quite mental.
    Louis - "Hi Jimmy, its Louis"
    Jimmy - "Yes, its me... All the hair, all the teeth"

    He never owned a cooker. His house had no cooker because, cookers mean women, and women mean brain damage. No cooker, no brain damage.

    He lived with his mum until she died but he had a caravan that overlooked the house that he slept in when he was "entertaining". When his mum died he preserved her room exactly as she left it and he had all her clothes dry-cleaned and stored back in the wardrobes once a year.
    He called her "The Duchess"

    Proper Star.

    R.I.P
