Wasn't he on "Vic Reeves : Big Night Out" classic 1980s Channel 4 whimsical comedy show ?

[Bagpuss]

Maybe more of a local hero than a national one. I only saw him live once, and that was earlier this year. He was one the things that made the North West what it was and it was nice to have him around. I wasn't much of a fan but know lots of people who were.

He played in the comedy tent at Glastonbury most years. Yes he was daft but totally original. Was the second most viewed article on the BBC website last night just behind the Budget but in front of the Jamie Bulger article.

Thank f**k they're not picking on me and having a go at someone else. I think I'll join in to show I'm one of the boys.

That way I'm safe.

FTFY, you whining sycophantic twat.

Also the man behind "I'm In Love With The Girl On The Manchester Virgin Megastore Checkout Desk"

BBC News - Man behind Frank Sidebottom, Chris Sievey, dies

Sad day indeed

Never heard of him, but RIP anyway.

[Troll]

I don't expect we will hear from him for a while yet, not till he is on his break anyway. Those electronic gate barriers don't guard themselves you know!!
But no doubt, first chance he gets he will be back on here doing what he does best. Fomenting irrelevance!

what a pair of silly little fookwits

[BlasterBates]

I reckon Troll didn't get much attention as a child, hence his puerile attention-seeking on here.

Sounds a bit like you Sasguru.

What went wrong in your childhood?

Give Troll a hug you lot, I can't bring myself to.

There you go. Hugely predictable.
Desperately trying to be contentious like the bottom-feeding attention seeker you are.
Try and come up with something original if it is not beyond you. You are damaging the street cred of Trolls the Net over, you tedious, one-dimensional, slack-jawed little oik.

I seem to exist in a parallel universe.

You do. Just not one that runs parallel to ours.

[gricerboy]

No disrespect but I've never heard of him. Somebody was on about him on the train home last night & I just can't work out what all the fuss is about. He also then started banging on about someone called Ted Chippington. I seem to exist in a parallel universe.

[shaunbhoy]

I saw in the article that it was a 'cult' show - which is usually shorthand for puerile rubbish... and C4- 'nuff said

But each to his own

How's little frank taken it. He's out of work now!
