yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I don't think he was ever in a show that wasn't top class. His ability as a wordsmith is without comparison.

World is a less funny place all of a sudden
Will be greatly missed by a lot of people.

If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway!!!

Sad day.
Here is the most memorable "and now here is the news" from the two ronnies
A vicar was in court today for riding his bicycle down the wrong way of the M1 motorway.
When the judge asked him "why wasn't you killed?"
He replied "god was with me"
And was further charged for riding two on a bike.
I can hear him saying it in my head now.... he will be sadly missed.

my fave was norm stanly fletcher... and some of the funniest gags including
The Two Ronnies:
The search for the man who terrorises nudist camps with a bacon slicer goes on. Inspector Lemuel Jones had a tip-off this morning, but hopes to be
back on duty tomorrow

To quote from another great, Dr Fred Dibnah " he's had half a day out with the undertaker booked for some time".
The BEEB like to be prepared for these things !

A sad reminder of our own mortality.
Like some others (Morcombe and Wise, Tommy Cooper, Eric Sykes, etc) it seems like they have always been on TV and have entertained and educated me
whilst growing up.
Was a truely great talent and will be greatly missed.
