What a great comedy writer he was.
RIP...or as he might have said. Reckon I'm Passed. :smiley:
i concur... a king of comedy
Really liked him

Mike
Just checked and he was 86. If asked I'd have guessed a fair bit younger. The funny man behind so many funny men. RIP
funnily enough i would have said a lot older he had white hair when i was in my thirties...
I had a mate with white hair and he was only about 5.
when i was in the army i went to a wedding and this old bauld guy bought me a few pints, then asked if i remembered him, which i didnt, i though he must be an old uncle or summit... he had been at school with me... :wtf:
A very funny man..R I P..

erm excuse mate, the young lady who lives here was going to New York for a few days i had to take her and a workmate to another wormates house from where they would start their journey...
they are all three pushing fifty... she reported one friend had shown an interest "i thought you said you lived wi an old guy" she confirmed that there was indeed an old guy at our address and that i was he, how old might you guess she asked and the closest they got was sixty two the other was younger... then a few years ago when i went fishing with my sons pal [same age as my son] i was paying for the day ticket and asked for one and a pensioners, the bailiff started writing out the tickets then stopped and shook his head he nodded towards my sons pal "i'm sorry mate but i dont believe hes a pensioner"... :moon: :moon: :moon:
Do they ask for id when you buy booze crabbyob? :grin:
BTW I'm nearly 60. Sadly getting further away from it every year but still only 12 years away and I reckon that's a nearly.
i bought some steak knifes in Sheffield, the lady asked for photo I.D. [but i think she was after a snog. :halo: .....i struggled to get served, even in uniform when i was in the army...lol
They do tend to bung you out of pubs if you are shit faced the worse for wear. Couldn't be connected in any way I suppose?
no mate the guys who got off their faces werent used to booze, in the pipe band we were fed the stuff daily, yes there were some proper drunks, but me and my mates generally missed the worse of it...
OH and I saw Barry Cryer and Willie Rushton in the 90s, they were touring with their show 'Two Old Farts in the Night'.
RIP Barry Cryer.
Blimey there's another name. There must be thousands that we all remember and so often the only way we get reminded is by an obituary. :sad:
