Heard about this sad occassion.
Spike Milligan, died on Wednesday aged 83.
REUTERS News said this about him:
"Milligan, pioneer of the meandering joke without a punchline, turned surreal comedy into an art form, influencing a whole generation of British comedians from the "Beyond the Fringe" team to "Monty Python's Flying Circus".
"He died this morning. I believe it was from kidney failure," his agent, Norma Farnes, told Reuters.
Fellow comedian Eddie Izzard hailed Milligan as "the godfather of alternative comedy." Heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, one of the Goons' greatest fans, said he had "a great affection" for Milligan.
Broadcaster Michael Parkinson said: "You could make the argument that modern British comedy started with Spike Milligan. He was the godfather of it all."" Reuters London (12:54 27Feb2002)

He will be missed, a sad day for those who remember his better days.

Now it's all left-wing politically-correct nonsense that isn't funny in the slightest. Except maybe Al Murray and Time Gentlemen Please.
Can ANYONE get The Two Ronnies out of retirement?
