General / Off-Topic Jim Bowen RIP

[[VR] Mad Mike]

On the same day is Stephen Hawking. Arguments will go on for years about who had the biggest influence on society but if Hawking gets a shout out i think it is only fair to give one to the Late great Jim Bowen.

"You cant beat a bit of Bully".

Good old Jim wasnt a supporter of exploration though

"Keep out of the black and into the red"

 

[Sugarat]

Yeah but Jim said to "Stay out of the black.." so..

Edit: Damnit..

"Lets have a look at what you could've won!" - Sadist tendencies though - he was an early Griefer = LOVE IT!

Jim got his BFH....Bus Fare to Heaven

 

[Dean Demon]

A very sad day indeed

I would say he influenced more people than stepehen hawkins in the now and here. But Hawkins' work may have more influence in the future, given we do not do the war and civilsation "fallback" scenario (again)

Some kid is going to read this a build a black hole bomb... and it will be all your fault... for like 6 seconds after it goes off.

Well that's it then, I'm re-naming my speedster build Imperial Eagle to "Bully's Special Prize" in honour of all of those speed boats that contestants could have won.

Never will Mankind become One in the same fashion as a sudden blackhole makes it possible.

Saw this lnked on another site - a little bit of Jim standup about an unaired episode - bit sweary in parts but nothing too strong - worth a look
