RIP a true British eccentric.
Trevor Baylis, a shed dwelling inventor; his most famous creation being the wind up clockwork radio. The radio was intended for the African market who were off the electricity grid as a method of spreading information and news – the main goal being to spread the correct info about HIV and AIDS as lack of education on the subject was one of the biggest factors in it's spread.
He once won pipe smoker of the year and lived on Eel Pie Island.
- It's worth having a gander at his wiki page: https://en.wikipedia…Wolfboy

- Me too about Eel Pie Island, fax - there's a few wee odd spots like that out in W.LDN, no?detritus

Stephen Hawking and Jim Bowen in the same day, the greats are dropping like flies.
To commemorate the passing of Jim and to celebrate his career, here is my favourite bit of Bullseye. It’s Jim awkwardly describing maybe the worst star prize ever won (apparently to a non-plussed Harry Shearer). RIP Jim:
- I don’t think there was ever a weirder moment than those contestants hanging out with the models at the end - and that includes the fact that Bullseye once...Wolfboy
- ...had a serial killer as a contestant.Wolfboy
- one of the great tv drumrolls when they're on the ocheFax_Benson
- Or some regular couple who lived on a council estate getting a fucking motorboat as a grand prize.face_melter
- Saw a jag parked in a service station with the reg plate JB...I laughed and said that has to be Jim Bowen's car...then he walked right past me.see_thru
- favourite awkward bullseye moment: https://www.youtube.…kingsteven
- I was at uni in Nottingham and we often went to the filming of Bullseye on Lenton Lane. Often pissed. Happy days. RIP.MrT

- how the fuck was this allowed to get so bad?mugwart
- "uncontrolled hunting in the colonial era and, more recently, poaching for their horns." So, basically the British and Chinese joined forces to fuck them up.Hayzilla
- 50k for a horn. can't blame the locals really, blame the idiot Chinese fro creating that market._niko
