I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

Finally! Someone I can recognise (though I'm not quite sure why as I don't think I've seen very much of his work, lamentably).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Howerd
He doesn't look terribly young there, though. This one would be young:

From Wikipedia:
> Throughout his career, Howerd hid his potentially career-destroying homosexuality (which had been illegal in Britain until 1967)
I don't want to sidetrack the thread, but can someone confirm whether it was any implied homosexuality or just gay sex that was illegal until 1967? I was under the impression that simply being gay was not an offence. Is it a technical error in the article? Or am I being too pedantic over the definition of homosexuality? (To clarify, I am perhaps the only person in existence who is gay without actually feeling any desire for sex.)

... it was the sex act which was illegal, not the orientation - but being known to be homosexual could (and not infrequently did) destroy your career.
Not, of course that I was concerned at the time; I'm just interested in history. Honestly!
For a' that an' a' that,

…Listen to Francis.
It is indeed Frankie Howerd. This pic may not be a particularly young one, but compared with the ones I rejected…
Over to you, Deeej, to 'Carry On'.
