Sad [:(] Re: RIP Humph.........................

A very sad day for British Jazz and wit.

An incredibly talented man, whose appeal lasted for so very long.

After Melly and Humph, few of the true eccentrics are now left; more's the pity.

Sad [:(]

Do you think we should have a  special game of Mornington Crescent to mark his passing ?

Yes, but remember that re-doubling west of Hyde Park is forbidden in April.

They played several excerpts of his Quiz Game on the radio this morning and I was still chuckling an hour or so later.  None of us are immortal, but you'd wish it for someone like him.  Something about the "38B's" - I couldn't even begin to tell the joke, let alone get the timing right.

You'll all be happy to know that I pee'd at the adjacent urinal to Humph some 40 yrs ago at a pub in London.  Memories!

A sad passing, but in a way not.  He was still playing, as recently as last week. 

A repeat broadcast at 12.00 GMT on R4 tomorrow (Sun).

There is a game going on at the moment on Digital Spy,  Radio section,  a tribute both to the idea and to the degree of seriousness with which listeners take the whole thing.

Samantha has to slip out for a while,   she's agreed to go out with some fishermen on their boat and learn a few tricks of the trade.   She's particularly looking forward to helping to toss the buoys over the side of the boat.
