A man that Barry Scott can only dream of being. Mays liked to tell the story of giving bottles of OxiClean to the 300 guests at his wedding, and doing his ad spiel ("powered by the air we breathe!") on the dance floor at the reception. Visitors to his house typically got bottles of cleaner and housekeeping tips.

He was only 52 - and fortunately I don't like milk (or cocoa).

Thank you, it's the passeage of time playing with my mind. I used to sing that song when i was coming up to that age and was mighty relieved when i passed it!

Thanks for your concern Juan Albion. Very sad news about my namesake and quite the most distressing celebrity passing of the weekend. Have been dormant on here for too long but couldn't let the passing of the champion of Ka Boom go unremarked.

Hats off to Klinger of Planet Radio who dedicated his entire afternoon show to Billy today.

Up the Albion.
