Just heard that, sad news which comes on the back of Noiseworks guitarist Stuart Fraser passing away from lung cancer on Sunday

"I was lying in bed when I woke up dead
Cool, but not too calm
Must've stolen my soul through a photograph
Or a jungle voodoo charm"

Fond memories of seeing the Mentals at Lennies back in the day. Another Aussie icon gone.

RIP. Bernard Woolley in Yes Minister is very much under-rated, a perfect foil to the back-and-forths between Humphrey Appleby and Jim Hacker, and often highlighting the irony or silliness (as the last few seconds of this excerpt demonstrates):

Also had some funny lines in his own right.

Hacker: Bernard, Humphrey should have seen this and warned me.
Bernard: I don't think Sir Humphrey understands economics, he did read classics.
Hacker: What about Sir Frank? He is Head of the Treasury.
Bernard: I am afraid he is in a greater disadvantage in understanding economics, he is an economist.

Terry Jones from Monty Python has passed away at the age of 77. RIP.

https://www.theage.com.au/culture/celeb ... 53tw2.html

He gave us many great Python characters (Mr Creosote, Brian's Mum, and numerous pepper-pot ladies), but I'll always love him as Prince Herbert in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.'

FATHER: One day, lad, all this will be yours!

PRINCE HERBERT: What, the curtains?

FATHER: No, not the curtains, lad!

Anyone who has followed a long suffering football team would empathise with Gordon Ottershaw (whom I think is in @Doddy's avatar)

"EIGHT-ONE! EIGHT-BLOODY-ONE!"

I might drag out my Ripping Yarns DVD tonight.

Always worth a watch, and seriously under-rated IMHO.

Forgot about Gordon Ottershaw. Although, I imagine Geoff Blethyn would've been offended by his disparaging remarks about the centre-forward who wore glasses on the pitch.

Ripping Yarns..... now that takes me back!

I have a vague memory of an episode where the central character has an uncle who collects diseases......and he was shocked to learn his uncle had taken ill.......

Yes, and when I'm finished I might tuck myself into bed with his * Nasty Book, and read myself to sleep with Bert Fegg, the West Bromley Fighting Haddock and Depravo the Rat...

* - like Ripping Yarns, a collaboration with Michael Palin.
