RIP David Bowie!

[Icey]

You look like David did there????

[tomsk]

NO ,
I WAS TOO PLUMP..

[Icey]

Oh, well HE was too thin - far too thin. You don't notice it so much in general photos of him, but he was gaunt at times.

[tomsk]

yes he was way too thin,
not healthy...

[Icey]

Even recording staff were concerned about him at times, especially when he was going through his druggie stage.

[tomsk]

One of your dinners would've sorted him out....

[Icey]

LOL. Think that male model in the frilly shorts needs one as well! ROFL.

[tomsk]

Have you seen Stella street Icey?

[Icey]

No, not seen any at all. What's it about?

[tomsk]

Stella Street is a British television comedy programme, originally screened in four series on BBC Two between 1997 and 2001. It takes the form of a mockumentary filmed on a camcorder, based on the fantastical premise that a group of British and American celebrities have all decided to move into Stella Street in Surbiton (actually Hartswood Road, London, W12).

The show (and subsequent film) was conceived and written by John Sessions, Phil Cornwell and Peter Richardson (who also directed). The main characters are played by Sessions, Cornwell and Ronni Ancona. The characters themselves are impressions of famous celebrities such as Marlon Brando, Michael Caine, Jack Nicholson, and, idiosyncratically, UK football pundit Jimmy Hill.

I particuarly liked the film Stella Streeet!

[Icey]

Thank you. I hadn't even heard of it until you said.

[tomsk]

As I say I like the film very much...

[Icey]

Had to smile at thinking about how many folk used to take it out of Jimmy Hill anyway! : )

[tomsk]

yes,
that was a whole different era..epoch!

[Icey]

*Epoch! LOOOL. Good word. My dad used to laugh about him, which I didn't think was very nice.



It feels amazing that he only died last year. It seems much longer ago than that, doesn't it?

[tomsk]

Did your Dad laugh about his chin?
His passing(!) does seem quite recent to me.

[Icey]

Yes, he did. If Jimmy's name's mentioned, he still says the odd thing about him.

[tomsk]

Go on ,
like what?

[Icey]

No, I'm not going to say here. It's not very complimentary, even though it's all probably meant in a joking manner.

[tomsk]

ok...
thanks for that!
