Roger Lloyd Pack has died, only 69.

Terrible news. They were gona make a new episode to follow on from a comic relief episode.

Rip to 1 of the funniest characters ever created

Do you think we will have a minutes silence for him on saturday?

Applause for me.

He has strong links to the club due to Darrell Clarke's nickname and I heard someone shout when Nialle Rodney came on against Rochdale 'Howay Dave"

RIP to a great character actor.

"Hiya Rodney"
"Rodney!"
"Rodders!"
"Rodney"
..
....
"Alright Dave"

I think all the players should wear his name on their shirts...

...followed by a good old-fashioned 'hoy the coins in the blanket'-style collection towards funeral expenses. Wonder when the last one of those was at Pools?

Wasn't it that one when Hodgson got hit with a stray 50p?

Maybe Sussex could parade round the Vic with a begging blanket for the Loids? I'm sure people would donate good and hard.

Probably when I was a ball boy back in the late seventies. I made a fortune over on the Mill House side when we went out for the second half of games with all the coins we'd missed during the collection. Was well worth getting twatted on the head a few times just to get me pockets filled.

He'd make more in ten minutes than that totaliser will in ten months.

'Raquel's had the baby.'

'Oh yeah, boy or girl?

'Boy.'

'What are they calling it??'

'Rodney apparently, after Dave.'

that was me btw..
terribly sad news,a really funny man..R.I.P

His performances in the Vicar of Dibley were phenomenol.

RIP trigger

But the Vicar of Dibley was utter shite, just read we had 10 seasons of that unfunny fat bint Dawn French due to that , god knows how.

That's bad news innit.

Indeed.

The Vicar of Dibley was shite!

seconded only by Mrs Brown's Boys ...and Miranda

Neither Dawn French or Jennifer Saunders are funny 'ab fab' was shite as well, just political correctness that they had to put a couple of split arse comediennes on the telly

You can put Lenny Henry in that category as well

Quite sure he's not a split-arse, like...

...still, he's as funny as Sussex

How many 'comedians' of either sex are funny? Wit and humour have gone steadily down hill since the days of Peter Cook, not the Nine O'clock News and Barry Cryer.

Anyway, was reading an article the other day about the things people laugh at irl, most of which aren't funny at all in the cold light of day. A typical for-instance scenario of this: a group of people spending an evening together in the pub. One gets up to go and someone says, "Oh, you're not leaving already are you?" .....to raucous laughter from the rest of the group.

Half Man Half Biscuit songs usually make me laugh.... observational lyrics designed to induce mocking, and rightly so given the target subjects/ subject matter

HMHB are indeed very funny. Even more so when some of their more obscure lyrics are revealed. There's a website that explains what/what a lot of them mean.

I was exploring the Tivo box the other day and looking through the 'suggested programmes' menu. Most of them were sensible and related to what I've been recording/watching. However, you can imagine my shock to discover that 'Miranda' was one of them. I put my foot through the telly, hoyed the Tivo box out into the street and sent the bill straight to Richard Branson.

Problem is, TV comedy had to be pitched to the masses and what your Nana thinks is hysterical isn't what your bairns find funny.

Everything is either hysterical or tragic depending what mood you're in and the company you're keeping. Surely there's no line you can draw? I've laughed meself sick when most people would think I needed sectioning for what I was laughing at.

The darker the better for me. I also prefer comedy without studio laughter as well.

3,fucking seasons of 2 menopausal boilers taking drugs and saying darling/sweetie every 2 mins is not fucking funny

French and Saunders were always shit they just got a free ride from the bbc s desire to be 'alternative'
Utter shite the pair of them

Did your Nana and your Missus like it??

Talking of half man half biscuit in march I am in prague and Dukla prague have a home game on the Friday night. £4/6 quid for the 4th top team in the Czech premier league and am very tempted to take the game in
