Anyone see Deal or no Deal last night? Oh dear Morris was convinced he was sitting with £250,000 in his box. He got down to 2 boxes £20,000 and £250,000, was offered £101,000 and went on to win £20,000. He looked gutted. I think the name of the show should be changed to Greed.

It;'s not greed, it's nerve. I probably would've dealt because I'd have never have forgiven myself if I only got 20 grand - but if have the nerve you might as well go for it - you will never be in that position again.

I would take the £101,000 because I would think if i gambled and got the £20,000 I would have lost £81,000.

Talking of Top Of The Pops presenters, what ever happened to Jimmy Saville, DLT and Peter Powell?

smurfboy · « **Reply #34 on:** May 07, 2006, 04:56:07 pm »

Jimmy Saville - a bit of an old soak from what I hear. Occasionally crops up on 'I Love 1978' or similar.

Peter Powell- Became an agent and makes loadsa money.

DLT - I ordered one yesterday but the lettuce was a bit limp, so next time I think I'll go for the pannini.

Wasn't Peter Powell married to Anthea Turner once?

He was a bit tasty. DLT used to be nicknamed The Hairy Cornflake.

Jimmy Saville is definitely of questionable character. Can't put my finger on it but certainly strange.

If you COULD put your finger on it, which bit exactly do you think is strange?

I seen Louis Theroux visiting Jimmy Savilles house once and Jimmy had all his dead mothers clothes still hanging in the wardrobe. He said he loved ladies but I don't think he had much success with them. He always looks scruffy to me and I think he is slightly mental.

At least he wasn't wearing his dead mother's clothes! I've heard hime talk about her and he called her the duchess and thought there was no one like her. Kenneth Williams was the same about his mum.

Poor Morris I was gutted 4 him. I would have dealt at 101,000 but he had the nerve to go ll the way. It could have been worse it could have been a penny!

oldspice · « **Reply #43 on:** May 08, 2006, 08:04:09 am »

Fifty years ago, it could have been a farthing!

I watched the Saturday show. I don't think Morris was greedy, he had a genuine belief in his 'lucky' number and he was blinkered by that. But because he believed in his number he didn't take the swap; it usually pays to take the swap if offered. He still went home with £20000, a lot of people have gone home with a lot less.
