RIP

I can remember as a youngster his dulcet tones commentating in the early to mid eighties when the Windies were pummeling Australia.

Yes his voice sounded black... I was shocked when I saw him and realised he was in fact... A snow flake!

One of my favourite actors, Gene Wilder, passed away at 83. I watched Stir Crazy too many times to remember as well as The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

Very funny man.

RIP

Quite shocked to hear that journalist Rebecca Wilson passed away of breast cancer, only in her mid 50s.

Just thinking of my favourite Ted Bullpit moments, my favourite was when Craig bought home his new flat chested girlfriend and Ted asking where her "diddlybops" were. Absolutely classic

"Yoohoo I'm home."

"Hello Ted, how was your day?"

"Bloody shambles of course. Someone should blow <arbitrary noun> up!"

RIP Ross.
