I must be younger than I thought.

How long ago was Joey Deacon running, thats a new one on me, at the ripe old age of 53.

Good luck for Thursday Tone

I do now I have googled his name.

A poor unfortunate that suffered from cerebral palsy.

Joseph John "Joey" Deacon (24 May 1920 - 3 December 1981) was a British author and television personality

#**308** 08-09-2010, 04:09 PM

And someone who unfortunately everyone took the piss out of in the 70's at school.

He was part of a Blue Peter appeal.

It was the done thing to call someone a "Joey".

He was assisted by some random bloke (whose name escapes me) that was a Bernard Breslaw double, who could "understand" what Joey was saying

scooby999 · #**309** 08-09-2010, 04:12 PM

everyone was getting called joey deacon back in the 70's ,I think he first came to light on Blue Peter

Mate the car is looking Fantastic. If i ever got to drive your car it would be the fastest car ive been in. My car trying to keep up! Ha! the old Evo would not stand a cat in hells chance. The only way my car would pass yours is if you drove them both off a cliff. Keep going my friend it's not far off now.
