The RIP Thread

Philistine

 

Bono can’t even name a member of the ancient people who lived on the south coast of Canaan from the 12th century BC until 604 BC.

 

And he’s named after a bloody dog biscuit….****er !!

 

His name is so much better if you read it backwards, and much more apt....

O Nob

 

At least he is not named after artistic topiary like the hedge

 

Philistines

 

Here you go
Before bonio and the hedge

Sorry I’m a bit late for this but I’ve actually been invited by a contact in my industry to attend a gathering before the funeral though we of course have to leave for the ‘main event’.


I’ll be gone when the mourning comes.

 

Barry Cryer.

I thought he was immortal

Kept going and making me laugh to 86

RIP

 

Don’t know who he is so I won’t cryer bout it.

 

He was old so you probably hated him without realising

 

Tory **** probably. Will Google him now.

 

Ah he sounds like a good guy I take it all back. He’ll have enjoyed my Cryer bout it joke. Except he won’t as he’s dead.

 

You are turning into a very mean young person pam

 

I have no Ayres or graces.

 

RIP Barry Cryer.

Most of the celebrity deaths recorded here mean little to me, but every now and then one hits home. This is one of those.

A wonderfully talented writer and seemed like a genuinely nice man.

 

Indeed.
RIP Barry Cryer.

A titan among comedy writers.

Absolute genius.

 

Really sad news. One of the most prolific comedy writers of his or any other era. A really top guy as well...
