RIP...Eric Sykes,

[Jericho]

Another sly fukker gone beyond!

[Prospero]

To join Hattie Jacques.....

If you look for Eric's jokes - the best you can find is:

“I had lunch with a chess champion the other day. I knew he was a chess champion because it took him 20 minutes to pass the salt.”

Wow!

news report says he died at age 89 after a brief illness... exactly the way I wanna go

[Stavros]

“I asked my publisher what would happen if he sold all the copies of my book he’d printed. He said ‘I’ll just print another ten’.”

He was a great comedy performer with fantastic timing - despite losing his hearing relatively early and then latterly his sight.

What's less well-known about him is his huge contribution as a writer to the Goons and his lengthy collaboration with Spike Milligan. An under-appreciated comic hero.

“I asked my publisher what would happen if he sold all the copies of my book he’d printed. He said ‘I’ll just print another ten’.”
that reminds me of a Groucho line:
"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member"

[rodinuk]

I enjoyed his gentle humour and as robertlouis wisely observes he'd made a great contribution through his writing too.

Thanks Eric , rest in peace.

[Prospero]

Eric was from a different generation. A gentle soul.

[Jericho]

An under-appreciated comic hero.

He never cared that he didn't get the 'glory'.
'So long as they larfed" was always his 'thing'

A generous, wonderful man, RIP Eric, i will you miss you...Ya cunt!.

[scottytech]

[iago_delgado]

Anyone who understands this is from an earlier generation.

[rodinuk]

Quite possibly - or from a different part of the World.
