Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Sorry to finish the trivia quiz so quickly but this is easy.


This is everyone's favorite sex-offender GARY GLITTER!!

It's actually a more flattering picture than the many of him being escorted to the airport by some grim faced Vietnamese, Chinese, or Thai.

I wonder if when a stadium announcer pushes the "Rock n' Roll Part II" button on their console, they know that this is the guy who wrote it.

What do you think his creepiest song title is? I know what my vote would be. I'll check back to see if there's agreement.

Yeah, I thought the creepier photos of him being frogmarched through an airport with a wee Vietnamese soldier would be a dead giveaway.

Apparently Gaz has finally been deported from his Southeast Asian holdout and has arrived back in Blighty. Lock up your toddlers, then.

As for the creepiest song title, I dunno - "Leader of the Pack?"

OK, I do believe if I'm not mistaken, that he had a hit song called, "Do You Want To Touch Me?" with a chorus of,

Do You Want To Touch?
Do You Want To Touch?
Do You Want To Touch Me _(either There or Yeaaah!)

Super creepy

Yeah, I have to agree that that's fairly creepy. I've just looked up the lyric. It's:

"Do you wanna touch (yeah)
Do you wanna touch (yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there? Where?"

Dirty old bugger.

It doesn't get any better for him either. He's being hounded out of every town he hides in, despite his cunning ploy of shaving off his troll-beard and wearing "a ginger wig" to elude attention.

What are the odds that Paul Gadd will top himself before much longer?
