OT; Jimmy Saville

to be a sound? - it appears to be a red web page with some bloke wearing a flat cap and not much else.

Same here.

But I fell across this:

Don't work too well with Firefox. Get a grip ...

That's because the link given was for mobile phones, try this

(FF on Linux.)

Click the arrow bottom left. Works in Chrome.

Try this version:

Works OK for me. FF on FreeBSD, with Flash running in the Linuxulator!

It's from Jerry Sadowitz's 1987 LP "Gobshite" which was withdrawn for fear that it libelled Jimmy Savile. Worth listening to.

In the meantime:

Flash works OK on Linux..

Dead easy to remove or disable, as well.

Works OK on Google Chrome

I know, I have a sacrificial laptop with ubuntu and all the multimedia trimmings for occasions when I really must use it. But for my proper work machines I can do without. I spend more time that I should doing useless things online as it is.

Don't you find it very odd though that all these people are coming out of the woodwork now that he has gone? Where will be the justice without him to stick up for himself. I find it all a bit strange unless there is some money to be had. sorry to sound so cynical, but to me, no matter how well respected he was these accusations should have been brought forward during his life in my view.

After all what can be done now?

Knowing someone who was abused, her ability to cope with a) the abuse itself; b) knowing that because the perp was highly respected, she would not be believed; c) lack of any evidence other than her word against his; d) the circumstances which would have had dreadful impact in many directions; she did not speak up at the time.

And it is quite possible she would never have said anything. But eventually she did.

That is entirely understandable in my book. And results in the possibility, even the likelihood, of multiple offences before anyone does break ranks.

The link I posted was from 25 years ago.

For sure my GF in 1973 was griped by Jimmy and propositioned. She told me. But really her word against the Great Jimmy? I think that its just the way it was.

Sleeping with the boss to get on is hardly new, nor is a bit of unwelcome groping in the workplace. In those days if your boss came on to you you were expected to sleep with her weren't you?

I dunno why its all become a media storm. Probably as you say because the old perve is dead and now it is a media storm there's a chance to get a bit of compensation for having the dopey old bastard shove his member up you in 1974

Well you can start by pulverising his headstone. You can give all those children who were abused a voice now (and potentially some "closure").

No arrow to click. FF is not supported.
