Welcome to my perfumed garden

There's no 'news' as such right now but AP are reporting that Lynn Redgrave has died.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy is Tweeting that Malcolm McLaren has died.

Holy moly. It's true.

Christopher Cazenove and now Malc and the perennial Q. has to be, who's going to be #3?

Lionel Jeffries has died.

This is sad news indeed. In fond remembrance, let's have a little bit of  Two Way Stretch, with David Lodge, Peter Sellers and th'most blessed and holy lord Bernard of Cribbins.

'shut up, I'm TALKIN'!'

But the news that Buster has died has upset me more than words can say.

Stephen Gately has died.

But more meaningful to me is the news that Keith Floyd also died last night.

Keith, you were undoubtedly a bit of an arse, but you made me laugh like no one else. You're worth many dozens of  Olivers and Ramsays. Wherever you are today, I hope they're playing The Stranglers and that someone else is picking up the tab for the wine.

Here's the obit.

My favourite Keith Floyd quote: 'You don't put fucking brandy in a korma!' Yours...?
