the inevitable pain of a monday morning was brought into sharp relief today as i picked up my copy of the
metro.
almost the entire front page was taken up by the headline "
Carol devastated as Whitely dies" and a picture of them together. as one of his greatest friends you can understand how this will hit her badly, but i was a little dissapointed that in death he gets second billing.
(hence my linkng to more appropriate headline)mr. whitely has been on our telly for so long it was almost as though he
couldnt die.
it was hard to believe that he was actually 61 years old, despite him opening channel four for us all some 23 years ago. 61 is not that old but i would have guessed his age somewhere closer to fifty.
richard whitely.
damn.
i for one will miss the ole geezer.
richardmuthafuckinwhiteley,
bitch...
if you too miss him, maybe you should buy a book.
