Ronnie Corbett's kick...I say Ronnie Corbett's kicked the.....Ronnie Corbett's kicked the bucket

[Classic Jorge]

I hope St Peter's prepared for some torturous anecdotes about 'the producers'.

I'm wearing a Pringle sweater in tribute.

It appears I've been :noah:'d here. Personally I'm shocked the dinimutive comedy sidekick to an actual genius didnt warrant a new thread.

He was a prick.

Maybe we should start playing that game on here. I think this place has the right sort of grim, tasteless humour for it.

Ronnie Corbet, Comedian, Prick.

Robert Runcie, Anglican Bishop, c**t.

Over Pringle

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Just how insulting do you want to be? How can you have no respect for one of the finest and most important figures in the history of association football?

You're a disgrace.

[Classic Jorge]

Here's the thing though, I've been quite impressed by the sheer amount of tributes paid to the man. I didnt think he'd actually got the respect he deserved.

Read about half of Brilliant Oranje over the weekend, top stuff

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Watching interviews with him made me weep. A lot.

I rather enjoyed reading Neeskens described as 'essntially Cruyff's minder.'

All the usual .. RIP ... sorry for his relatives .. platitudes / *******s but indubitably a prick.

Wasted many a youthful hour being forced to watch him and his sidekick prick mate.

[Classic Jorge]

I'm not one usually that susceptible to the public displays of worthy grief associated with dead celebs but this one has got me in a very strange way, I dont mind saying.

Corbett was Barker's sidekick, not the other way around. Also, Barker is one of the finest comic actors we've ever produced.

Porridge was absolute genius.

I probably would have decapitated a 'normal' sized person with a pushed drive off the 2nd tee at The Addington GC in Surrey about 35 years ago, where I presume he was a member.

My golf partners thought it was hilarious but he didn't see the funny side of it. :cooper:

Coffin shouldn't cost much (good for the rainforrests) :hide:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

What evidence do you have with which to justify demeaning his memory with your insults?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You haven't yet called him a prick.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Struggle to see either chap beyond "The Two .." and that shockingly unfunny shopkeeping c**t.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I liked Cruyff, he was a beautiful footballer though as a player of a generation and era largely lost on many.

A person that likes football at any level cannot watch footage and fail to be impressed by the man.

Simple really.

I am quite surprised that you cannot grasp this.

Every person in the history of people ever has at some point been nice to others and at some point could be described as a nice person.

there were another 200 TV channels to chose from back then.

Watch final score, then go out into the garden/yard/street* and kick a ball against a wall for an hour or so, then back in for dinner/tea/supper* before watching the 2Rs, then bedtime with the strains of the Match of the Day theme fusing with our dreams of children.

Great days, I'm sure you'll agree.

even if he did support Spurs.

[Classic Jorge]

That is until Blackadder II came along

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I just never really appreciated their humour.

p.s. Tea.

Supper would have been a bowl of corn flakes maybe.

16:35 :cloud9: great finish

[Ashberto]

In my case the meal would have been called dinner, although a slice of cheese and pickle on toast, nice as it was, wasn't much of a dinner. :-(

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

To quote Danny Dyer, I still cant get my nut round it

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I know this has all changed now when dinner is now lunch and tea is merely a drink.

Supper is still a bowl of cereal.

[Ashberto]

I'm sure that was in the evening.

Though, OTOH, we did take our dinner money to school to pay for the meal now called lunch. And some people had free school dinners, not free school lunches.

I do remember my nan feeding my dad a bowl of porridge late in the evening and calling that 'supper', so that's he nearest I get to the breakfast cereal suppertime experience. The late evening meal of Christmas Day was called supper as well.

Tea was what the northerners next door ate in the evening, or the sandwiches taken in the afternoon interval of a cricket match.

Tea time is 4pm, sw.
