It was his son who gatecrashed Michael Douglas and Catherine (I'm just a girl from the valleys) Zeta Jones, on behalf of Hello!

Private Eye have been pursuing the Cyril Smith story, but they've not said anything about Thorpe. Maybe it's already been said.

Dear old Bugger Thorpe.

We shan't miss him.

Yes, he was a bit of a sod wasn't he?

They both ask Scotty for more thrust.

Yes, me neither.

I did have a laugh when I seen the picture of the male model. Looks like a farmer.

Farmers were obviously sexy in that time period (or am I thinking of the Stella ad?)

He was the reason for the first satirical political slogan Id ever heard (in the 70s).

"Give four liberals a seat. Upturn a bar stool" and "Vote liberal or we'll shoot your dog too"

I'm sure he'll appear in the Jimmy Savile thread eventually, maybe pretty soon now that he's died. Obviously he was in the Liberals with Cyril Smith and was probably a regular visitor to a certain B&B in London.

Wasn't he the one who caused someone to, 'bite the pillow in pain'?

Not a great deal of sadness, he was a nasty piece of work.
