algy Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It was well known for yonks that he was/is a druid. As William Roache he was also commissioned into the Royal Welch Fusiliers and was promoted to Lieutenant in 1954, he left the Army three years later. Because of a mortar round explosion that he witnessed while on National service with the British Army Roache suffers from Tinnitus, perhaps this is where he thinks he hears the spiritual voices that provide him with his misguided quotes!.

Nick Tessla Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It was well known for yonks that he was/is a druid. I remember seeing photos of him taking part with his fellow "druids" at the Stonehenge summer solstice ceremony. So called "Druids" - a bunch of people performing a, largely Victorian, pastiche of pagan ceremonies at a site that wasn't built by the original druids.

Cleopatra Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 No, Algy, but I'm pretty sure there was a group of stones played at the Parr Hall at one time many years ago. Jick Magger was the lead singer - him with the rubber lips and skin tight pants who couldn't get any satisfaction and wanted to paint red doors black.

Dizzy Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Wasn't it Obs that said that Algy. Poor Nick will be mortified Made me chuckle though and he's right especially when you see all the expressionless goths dressed in black and other zombie looking 'creatures' hanging around the skittles during the daytime. OK so they don't seem to cause any trouble and I'm being mean but they do sort of look like a weird cult waiting for someone to wake them up I've never dared venture there at night myself but maybe the little angles and faires come out then and fly around the skittles spreading love, happiness and good cheer to all...

algy Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey! Dizz, I used to know a bonus clerk who if you complained about tight bonus times used to say "the pen is mightier than the sword" and "a stroke of the pen makes a nought into ten" and would stand there and alter increase the job times to your advantage, same here Missy, only we use keyboard keys instead of pens. I have edited it!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 She should find a few drunks willing to pose for her in various stages of undress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 In the search for equilateral agreement and hoping to get things right.

Reputedly she was 15 years old at the time, I know this has been said previously but why didn't she come forward before now?. At this rate the shows producers are going to run short of fill in episodes or actors or both!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps she did come forward at the time - but wasn't taken seriously, blamed for what happened or labelled a slag, ah the good old non-pc days * . some people get nostalgic over. * I am being ironic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
