‘Bruce Forsyth is a kind and wonderful man’ said the landlady at The Crown pub in East London. ‘ISN’T HE!’
I’d been chatting to my friend about old Bruce at the bar, moaning that nobody seems fussed whether he’s knighted or not. ‘Nah!’ interrupted a woman standing nearby. ‘I reckon the Queen thinks he’s weird!’
‘Weird?’
‘Yeah. Like a pedophile.’
‘Right’.
As we sauntered away from this despicable woman, I realised she wasn’t the first person to say the macho-camp show host gave them the heeby jeebies. The mere mention of him used to bring my pal Shona out in hives.
So in tell-tale fashion I went on twitter to ask people what they thought of Bruce’s face.
To my surprise, the tweets came flooding in. And it turns out, everyone is scared of Bruce Forsyth.
The nightmares.
Kirsty, 35, said ‘I’ve had nightmares. His beady peepers are inches from my own and in the morning I wake up to find a silver lock of hair on my chest.’
John, 26, said ‘he makes me memorise the chronological order of dead family members as they appear on a conveyor belt.’
Jules, 30, said: ‘you’d be blind not to see the that his silhouette looks exactly like Nosferatu’s’.
For the love of game-shows, is there anyone that doesn’t fear this household treasure?
Ah! Yes! Jim, 26, said: ‘Bruce Forsyth always reminds me of my nana. I think it’s the era rather than the face, although she does also bear a striking resemblance to the late Rod Hull, so it’s probably the face. Either way it always warms me to him (less so to Hull he was a bit mental).’
Looks like it’s just me, the landlady, Jim and Lord Grade vying for Brucey’s knighthood. The former BBC and ITV Chairman spoke out yesterday saying it is ‘shocking’ the 83-year-old only has a CBE. C-B-Shmee. Everyone knows it doesn’t matter what’s AFTER your name in showbiz. It’s BEFORE that counts. BEFOOOOOOORE!!!
Speaking of Brucie’s relationship with the word ‘before’, his name could be shortened to ‘B-For’ couldn’t it?
Let’s hope you’re on the list this year B-For! I’ll SIR-tainly be keeping my fingers crossed.
Everything is cool.

Elton John said something along these lines in October last year (that Brucey should be knighted). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11571306
He said:
“I grew up with Sunday Night At The London Palladium and it’s an outrage that [former compere] Bruce Forsyth hasn’t been knighted. I told him that, and wrote a letter to the honours committee. He’s part of our lives, like Rolf Harris – a clever, incredibly witty man who always made me feel good.”
He ain’t scary, he’s like my grandpop.

I am outraged he hasn’t been knighted – he is pure genius – and those who find him scary are weird. Did u know J.K bloody Rowling was knighted in France – whaat?! Come on queenie – sort it out!

This is almost too much for a sane man to bear. Of cuorse, your answer would be that I’m not a sane man. However, I don’t want this to become a regular feature of this blog. It only looks a bit like Batman and nothing like Bruce Forsyth.

That’s the spirit, Biscuit. Show off those British gnsehars and spare us any blushes. I’m sure they’re teeth to make an empire proud. In fact, looking at the icon beside your name, they look like a fine set of enamels.I had one deep feeling done but it wasn’t fun, especially when a certain clod-hopping fool started to walk around (we were in an upper room) and the floor started to bounce, the dentist’s drill started to bounce and started to bounce around the insides of my tooth.Apparently I’ve not been brushing far enough back and this had caused a cavity. My question to the dentist was how far back should I really be brushing and wouldn’t it be easier to come in via an ear?’

Ihav been browsing online mote than three hours thesae days, but I by no means found
any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It’s pretty price sufficent for me. In my view,
if all webmasters and bloggers made good content material as
you did,the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
