I'd have to set up an account for my Mum, she's always telling me about periphery people she's faintly known having died, "You know Beryl? Beryl? From number 32... yes you do, she lived there for about three years when you were at school... no? Well she's dead"

I get sort of the reverse from my mother. I ask how someone is and she tells me they're dead.

Is everyone else picturing Paul carrying the coffin into the church...

Shame, and yes, first thing I thought of. Even before thinking how sad it was. I am a terrible human

[Neon Ignition]

Close! We heard it on the radio in the car and immediately said Barry's eulogy will end with the words "and that comes... from me, to you"

Incredibly sad news, ChuckleVision was a stable part of my tv viewing after school growing up.

Oh dear, oh dear
