Larry Grayson.

Saw the documentary the other day and realised he was quite funny.

No, I have some friends who had some relatives who once lived next door to him and they said he was shithouse.

Reminds me of that old joke that goes like this :

A man was in the pub with his pet monkey and he decided to play a few tunes on the pub piano. While tinkling away on the old ivories another customer approached him and said - “I say, do you know your monkey’s dipping his balls into my beer?”

“No, sorry.” replied the pianist, “ But, you hum it and I’ll play it.”

Boom! Boom! Ah, my taxi has arrived.

Dunno. Random Emmerdale actor? Random Hollies band member? Probably some sportsperson tomorrow or the next day. Do they ALL deserve a 2 minute segment on the national news? Death happpens

Maybe time for a dedicated Obituary Channel where folks could fill their dead man's boots and the legion of Over Fifties Funeral Plan salesmen could legitimately ply their wares?

 

[Motogull]

Its a fair observation.

The vast majority of deaths are sad, but if there's an element of 'oh I thought he/she was already dead' then what's the point?

I never really rated Tony Hart's artwork both times he was alive.

I don't get it punal.

I don't get it punal.

Well, it goes something like this . . . . .

That must be the X-rated version of the PG Tips ad:

 

[vegster]

There can't be many Chuckle Brothers left now ?

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Will we be having a minutes silence?

 

[T.G]

There can't be many Chuckle Brothers left now ?

The plural is unnecessary

 

[DJ NOBO]

Defo too many RIP threads on NSC

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Defo too many RIP threads on NSC

We need to stop them immediately.

Then, can we have a thread to RIP the RIP threads.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Is it just me or is this thread not a little peevish and needless?

If people want to remark on the passing of someone they admired, and share this with others, what's the problem?

Starting threads to moan about other threads is a bit tittish. I may have to start a thread about it.

Very sad news thoughts and prayers are with his estranged family, he will be obviously be best remembered for that 1974 Royal performance, but I for one will remember him having meet him in the toilets opposite the Athena B, where while standing at the trough I instantly recogised him and turned unfortunately a bit of wee splashed his shiny shoes oh how we laughed.
I understand he requested his ashes are to be given for medical research thinking of others right until the very end he will be missed
