The RIP thread...

Me too... bollocks.

My colleague messaged me this this morning:

I know. I found out he was on life support and was just literally waiting. So sad. I'm so glad I got to see him perform.

I mean, she just set me up for it. Apparently it was too soon.

Kind of took me by surprise.
You never know how things will affect you

Ralphie May. Only 45 years and one of the biggest comedians around.

Kevin Cadle unexpectedly died this morning, only 62. Massive achievements in basketball but he was the voice of NFL in the UK for me... Gutted.

Sean Hughes, only 51.

Tragic. Liver cirrhosis.

That's very sad

Fuckkkkk

Sean's Show was essential viewing back in the Nineties

As the comedy world mourns Sean Hughes, let's remember the time when
he appeared in a celebrity version of Come Dine With Me – and served
the same meal for all three courses: stew.

His starter was the vegetarian stew which he called Squibby’s Delight;
then he added dumpling balls for the main course, Mumsy’s Surprise.

And for his finale, he squished the stew into balls, which he
deep-fried, sprinkled with sugar and served with a shop-bought
custard tart – a dish which he called Irish Oddlums

When challenged over the similarity between dishes, Hughes insisted:
‘It’s just totally different!’ –

He then compared himself to the greatest Renaissance master. ‘With Da
Vinci did they go, ‘I really like that painting, but it’s really like
the other one you did with Jesus in it"? Jesus is in them all. It’s
just disrespectful to a craftsman like myself.’

Super sad about this one.

Gord Downie, front man for regional hitmakers of big dumb rock and roll, The Tragically Hip.

Most of the Canadian portion of my friendsfeed is still in bits over this. Quiet over here...

I figured as much.
Apparently a real stand up guy, never a huge fan of his music.

Robert Guillaume.

Dang. Sportsnight. He was so good on that. And when blew people's minds taking over from Michael Crawford in Phantom. Very talented.

Fats Domino.

Surely 'ain't that a shame'

By their choice of track the radio stations around here think he only had one hit.
