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

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.Originally posted by thunderlizard View PostMaybe 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.

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

what a pair of silly little fookwitsOriginally posted by shaunbhoy View PostI 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!

Sounds a bit like you Sasguru.Originally posted by sasguru View PostI reckon Troll didn't get much attention as a child, hence his puerile attention-seeking on here.
What went wrong in your childhood?

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

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.

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.

But each to his own
