gregchambers Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I was watching UK TV the other night and they had a program on the life of Frankie Howard, a well known if decidedly bent UK comedian. Thing was, in his later years he looked the spitting image of Mr Trink! He seems to be all over the place, as well as starring as the belligerent dwarf in the Lord of the Rings. What next BT?

SoiledCowboy Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I always thought that Bernard's twin brother would have to have been Jebba the Hutt from the Starwars movies...too many similarities there in appearance for it to be a mere coincidence... :: :: :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Looks like Bernard's forum has bitten the dust. Can't say I'm surprised. He obviously wasn't really into it. (I will be offering Segway rides along Soi 4 if anybody is interested.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 No, he's still writing his weekly online column. I just logged in, and the one for this week is newly posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Talking about the forum. I don't think he ever posted anything there...guess he wasn't into it... http://www.idontgiveahoot.net/phpBB2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 What are you talking about? Trink posts every Friday, just like when he was at the Post. I have a paid subscription, so maybe you are not allowed access. He has not missed a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Ah, I see. The Forum, not the column. Never mind. But his column IS running strong (if "strong" be the word.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Burma Shave? E-mails? Wonder who types it onto the computer after BT submits in in pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams167 Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I have been a reader of Bernards? columns since the old Bangkok World days, 4 or 5 tabloid pages of gossip and pictures, prose and posturing: inevitably including his recommendations - plus numbers and ?tariff? - for girls in the old Takara Massage Parlour and their proficiency at "specials". His Restaurant Reviews of gargantuan (pro)portions. Only now, having read this Thread, have I tried to look at his Website ???.. and find it crossed with a large sign ?Closed due to abuse? . I also notice that the Owl used in his Banner header is a juvenile Snowy Owl; a diurnal ? i.e. active during the day, not the night ? species, mainly restricted to the Arctic, colder, regions of the old and new worlds. I am tempted to draw parallels between these observations and Bernards? present situation ??.. but that would be trite. Or would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 He still does his weekly column. Pay per view, though. Sad scribblings, but I figure I can throw him 10 bucks a year. My contribution to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
