Just got back from his show at Wolves Civic Hall and yes, it is only 10.30.

Left at half time because he was, well, crap.

Seemed to be struggling to remember lines and those he did remember were old and tired (new bra for the wife - what size - 6 7/8 - that's not a size - well that's the size of my bowler hat and that fits . . well, you know the rest).

Sad, but time to call it a day Ken.

That's a shame, as I thoroughly enjoyed his show (posted on this thread back in Feb. - for fear of repeating myself! :( ) when I saw him about 10/12 years ago from my front row seat.

Yes, we knew all the jokes, but it was like Frank used to say "It's the way I tell 'em" and his delivery was still rapid fire so you had a job keeping up.
The only complaint I heard was that he didn't sing enough songs, but that didn't bother me!!

Just looked him up and he is now 87!! No wonder he is slowing down and you're right OR, time to call it a day.

Yeah HGT, I saw him about the same time ago and he was very good.

So Chappers did he yell at you

"does your mam know you're out so late our kid?"

Are you getting senile?
