He was indeed a genuine original. I think they should festoon his coffin in those ties. It would be quite a sight.

when anybody ever complained at countdown being on my response was always "you dont like it 'cause you're crap at it."9 times out of ten this would be the case but occasionly the reason given would be "no,its him".Purple Light wrote:I had a pint with him once & he was a really top guy.

Somebody told me down the phone. That was a bit odd to tell you the least. You don't generally get a courtesy call to tell you...
Adios, mate.

In Whiteley's honour I have composed a short haiku made of nine-letter words.
Televised departure.
Mortality bereaving Vorderman.
Merciless countdown continues.

Where's Richey James? He usually turns up when someone famous dies so he can repost his regular "mass-media inspired fake-mourning" tirade.

he's just moved back to The People's Republic, maybe he's scared to post his usual diatribe
