Sadly it seems no-one decided to Go With Noakes.

Hopefully he'll turn up unharmed and in no way distressed.

Am I correct in feeling that the article using the past tense in the sentence below is a bit...i don't know...uncaring?

Police said Mr Noakes, who presented Blue Peter for 12 years in the 1960s and 1970s, had Alzheimer's disease.

Hats off to the guy for doing this. Fecked if I would.



Hope he's OK.

Can't believe that he is 81.

 

[Questions]

The man is a legend. Never forget the day he went paragliding with a sail made solely from pairs or Val's old knickers.

 

[Brighton TID]

Remember when he announced Shep had died on some live talk show and he started crying uncontrollably.

 

[Brighton TID]

Also, he burnt his side bob sledging because it crashed.

Didn't he also have a hand in the shitting elephant, as it were?

Lulu?

Lulu?

Aptly named elephant as it turned out

There are those of a certian age who maybe fondley remember Blue Peter,sticky back plastic and ''here's one i made earlier' basically as a kid you had an imagination so use it and go with it. In those days it was called growing-up. John Noakes and TEAM were part of that.

 

[Official Old Man]

Met him once when I too lived in Majorca. Great guy.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Incredibly sad, hope he's found safe.......

Get down Shep!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not overly concerned for the boy Noakes, I'm sure he'll regenerate again....

Also, he burnt his side bob sledging because it crashed.

He had a side bob?

Police broke the happy news at a press conference by revealing a picture of Mr Noakes, 81 and stating, "Here's one we found earlier."

 

[Questions]

No expensive boat.....................Pipe cleaners, cotton reels, empty toilet rolls, tin cans and sticky back plastic. To think that Noakes rowed around the world with just those five items. You try telling today's kids that....
