I do believe his essential contribution to the brilliance of the Two Ronnies is often unfairly overlooked in the shadow of the genius Ronnie Barker - fork handles is still one of the best comedy sketches ever broadcast!

RIP wee man.

F'cks sake though, will the household names of my childhood please stop dying!

When I fly over I watch more classic Brit teley than I care to admit

You people are weird

"Let's try on Orange,"

If I had a quid for every time I heard "Orange" when calling someone, ...

God, Ronnie Corbett was such a genius.

Go to YouTube and copy-paste more skits. Simply copy the http and post.

This one is pretty funny..

I've gone to many youtube posts and There Is NOT ONE "don't like" on most.



R.C. Sleep well. You made me laugh out of my socks.

Sad to read Ronnie Corbett died as officials were considering honoring him with a knighthood , and if approved would have become Sir Ronnie in the Queens 90th Birthday Honours List .
What took them so long ?

So perhaps Honours should be bestowed to Roy Hudd and Barry Cryer sooner rather that later, two very clever gents of British Comedy.

Victoria Wood joins the list of celebs shuffling off this mortal coil in 2016. Acorn Antiques aside I was never a huge fan, quite possibly because my ex was.

Not in the same league as Mr Corbett IMHO but it does, nevertheless, beg the question "why are so many celebrities dying this year?".

BBC website had an article on the subject which, of course, I can't find now I want it. Now I have (Ed) Actually a radio programme.

Are more "celebrities" dying?

From an actuarial/mortality standby - no.
From your perception standby - yes

The acuteness of the latter perception depends entirely on your age and generation.

When you are younger it appears that everybody you know is getting married. You rarely notice anybody dying (except close relatives etc.). You also don't tend to notice Policemen unless you are a villain trying to avoid them.

When you are old; ever more your generation appear to be dying (often "too young"), because they are actually dying. But overall life expectancy has actually risen.

Also rather oddly, with age, one becomes more conscious of Policemen as your awareness of danger and the need for personal welfare/protection increases with your perceived frailty. They eventually look so young that they appear as if they have barely left school; so adding to that ever more acute feeling of age acceleration.

Lead', I am somewhat older than you and can testify that this transition gets worse as the years roll forward. Our perception is that time seems to accelerate in a manner that only Einstein might refute. It's hence all a question of one's awareness of your own local, social and generational environment. If we didn't spend so much time in the Bricklayers and Victoria Inn amongst our own generation of peers we might see things differently, and as one ages, have you yet noticed that ever more of your friends leave town? It's not because they want to live in "Frinton" or "Bournemouth", it is because they need to sell up; to crystallise their property equity (e.g. having earlier not made enough pension provision) and will move out of the district to 'save face' as they don't want their neighbours to know that they can't afford to live there any more.

I thank the Lord that I continue to be blessed with a most wonderful life that is now being denied to so many of my generational peer group. That's why suffering the U's; Kiddy Harriers; Aston Villa being relegated in the same season (e.g. my favourite three teams) matters little to me now AFTER the event. To me it's just another chapter.

Lastly, has any man NOT looked down; glanced to the guy adjacent to him in the urinal; then thought his own member is too small? Once again, it is simply about differing perceptions from where you are viewing the said objects. When dangling down and away from you then the parallax effect will make it look smaller than another hanging out of adjacent trousers. I was paranoid about this until these physics were explained to me; and a reassuring girlfriend expressed positive surprise.

It's simply an observation about how perceptions dramatically change dependent upon the viewing point. Most men briefly endure this crisis some time in their life

Cricketer Courteney Walsh was once asked by a female journalist "as you are 6ft 8ins tall are you in proportion everywhere?". His reply "no, I would be 14 ft tall". Sadly, despite my size 13 feet all I ever enjoyed was an assurance of normality.

Well I'm sure we've all glanced at one time or another, but woe betide any that are caught doing so...

I remember once many years ago doing so, to glimpse something that would most definitely scare the bloody horses. It was only on the unavoidable second glance that I realised it was actually the strap end of quite a long leather belt.
