Rod Hull
Rodney Stephen Hull (13 August 1935 – 17 March 1999), better known as Rod Hull, was an English comedian, best known as a popular entertainer on British television in the 1970s and 1980s. He rarely appeared without Emu, a mute, highly aggressive arm-length puppet of the flightless emu bird.
Career
Hull was born in the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, England in 1935. He attended Delemark Road School and the County Technical School, Sheerness. After national service with the RAF, he qualified as an electrician. He married his first wife Sandra in 1958; they had two daughters, Deborah and Danielle.
His first job in television was as a lighting technician with TCN Channel 9 in Sydney, after moving to Australia in 1961. He then began appearing on air, notably as Constable Clot in Channel 9's Kaper Kops with Reg Gorman and Desmond Tester, a regular segment in its children's afternoon programming. Clot proved very popular and soon gained his own segment, Clot in the Clouds, which depicted Constable Clot daydreaming about having other professions, such as a world famous brain surgeon, 'Blood Clot'.

by: AllToday she made the pain stop
With the sound of her voice
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not by choice
I've had enough sad memories
To last me all my life
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
I was walking wounded
I said, "Never again"
She makes it easy
She's my best friend, my best friend
She's right
I look in her eyes
I like what I find
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
We speak the same anguish
When we make love she smiles
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
I was walking wounded
I said, "Never again"
She makes it so easy
She's my best friend, my best friend
She's right
I was walking wounded
I said, "Never again"
She makes me happy
To be her best friend
She says, she's my best friend
