Whatever happened to.....

edited June 2011 in Commuting chat
So, this weekend I was allowed off the leash for a couple of hours. I decided to use this time wisely and meet a few mates at the pub.

Anyway, after the 5th round of booze the conversation started getting "drunk philosophical" and moved rapidly onto "Whatever happened to...". We started to discuss old sports stars that we had not seen or heard from in years - there are a few that manage to get on the gravy train of TV shows, but allot that vanish. Never heard from again....

I tried to ask about a few cycle starts of the era as my historical knowledge of cycling is vague to say the least; so any storied or info that you have on the stars of yesteryear would be much appreciated!

As with all drunk conversations, "burds and sports" became a big factor and "Jet" from gladiators was mentioned - whatever happened to her? And where do old porn stars go? What happens to them?

It's all too much I tells ya.....

    Did anyone see the episode where they pitched the old gladiators against the new ones? Broke my heart to see some of them trying to squeeze back into those costumes. Lightning had a few more wrinkles, but still looked pretty good.

    I had to retire from my job in the porn industry. Eventually, the long days of shooting take their toll, and I just couldn't keep it up any more. :(

    Haha! You know the difference between someone starting out in porn and a time served old hand? One uses KY, the other uses Polygrip.

    I've seen Diane Youdale on a few motorbike programs and according to her website she is still on BBC TV up in County Durham area on a daily basis.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
