Spike Milligan dies

Shame, a really funny guy:(

Yup, a great comedian.
Sad day. :(

Very sad, he will be missed!

he will be remembered for many many things but mainly i will remember him for that weird poem can't quite grasp what it was called anyone got a copy and dotn mind posting it up :)

There were loads, how about -

There are holes in the sky
Where the rain gets in
But the holes are small
That's why rain is thin

i think it was summat like win wong wim :lol can't remember it has a weird word(s) in it.

It's six years since he called Prince Chuck a little grovelling ba$tard

Don't time fly.

Until recently he was still writing 9 hours a day .

Absolute one off brilliant bloke .

The Channel4 special will still be shown ,I think it's on this week

never been a great fan but liked some of his short poems
here's one to be getting on with

Dr O'dell,
Fell down a well,
And broke his collar bone,
The moral is,
Treat the sick,
And leave the well alone.....

He will be sorely missed

very sad day indeed, he was a one off all right! he was the father of modern british comedy, without the goons, none of todays comedy would have happened!
:(
special on bbc tonite, details later.
(bbc1 at 2235)
:)

srry but im truly devastated. theres little moves me to tears but this certainly does. i owe him my sanity. its listening to the goons thats kept me from loosing it over the years. the man was a genius and my idol. the goons were the greatest comedy act in the universe, even more so then the labour manifesto. i hadnt heard of this at all having spent from 9 am till 12pm at work.
tomorrow will be all day goons in memory of the man so great that he ecipsed even monty python.

ying tong yiddle i po

wise words from one so young, mymate, marmite.

"ahhh so they build planes that go backwards now" :) that always made me chuckle.

and the old time one, ahh your piece of paper is two hours slow.

I hope they bury him a washing machine and on his grave stone put "See i told you i was ill"

i went to a neighbours humanist funeral and they played the ying tong song. the best funeral ive ever been to, was all about his life and what he had achieved , amazing, a true celebration of life. i hope spikes is in a style befitting the mad old bugger. god must be getting a damn good show up there :)

quote from spike, re religion and heaven etc..
I want to go there, but if jeffry archer is there, I want to go to lewisham!
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

god must be getting a damn good show up thereI think Spike was headhunted by God to head up the Ents dept of heaven plc..

You have deaded me.
