    I loved supermarket sweep, especially when they had to collect the random inflatables like bananas! He had a great charisma as a presenter. RIP

    RIP.

    Just reading, his father died on the day of his Bar-Mitzvah and he found his mother dead from a drug overdose.

    Talk about tragedy.

    62 is very young really

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Loved an auld episode of supermarket Sweep when I was pulling a sicky from school.
    He was before his time with the tan, you could say he inspired a whole generation of women (and pouty mirror loving men) to be as orange as possible.
    Seemed like a decent stick, very young at 62. RIP.

    Glazers Out!

    Yeah i used to do the same, 9.30 in the morning lying on the couch watching this :D.

    For years i'd be watching them throwing in likes of BBQ's & everything, thinking that would be so cool to be able to do, i always thought they got to keep it all at the end. Only on watching the re-runs nowadays, it was all about the value of the goods :o
