Give the man a hand!
Jeremy Beadle died yesterday. Proof, if need be, that karma really exists.
I’m sure someone, somewhere will miss this freak-handed prankster, but it won’t be me.
Here’s a second-hand (no pun intended) paraphrased anecdote from an old teacher of mine:
“I met Jeremy Beadle at some showbiz gathering once. He went to shake my hand and, upon offering me the withered one, I recoiled in disgust and asked “What the fuck is that?”. I was forcibly ejected, taking a bottle of very expensive wine with me.”

My Media Studies teacher at Kingston College, so you almost certainly never met him.
Welcome aboard.

Although, to give the guy some credit, he’d apparently recently seen off cancer, leukaemia and was finally beaten by pneumonia - not a particularly nice way to go, especially at the relatively youthful age of 59. Not to mention having a hand resembling The Monkey’s Paw (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeys_paw)
Also, his position as Britain’s most hated TV personality has long been eclipsed these days by the likes of Graham Norton, Justin Lee Collins and Gok Wang, oh and a bevy of Big Brother contestants…

What teacher said that? Anyone I know?
I would be very wary attending this funeral… It wouldn’t surprise me if he willed his body to be replaced with a jack-in-the-box.
