RIP Ronnie Corbett

[munchy]

Ronnie passed away today. Another legend who gave so much pleasure to my generation. RIP

A man who I loved to see, especially in his golf jumper in the extra large chair telling a story. His timing was wonderful. Two Ronnies one of my favourite programmes. They were masters of their art, clever, clever. He will be missed by many.

So sad that 'another one gone' comes to mind, and 'they don't make them like that any more'. I loved both the Ronnies - their good clean fun and personalities which I was happy to 'invade' my lounge on a regular basis. 85 years is quite a good inning,s but if only he could have stayed aorund to make us all laugh a little longe.r I bet the angels are having fun!!!!

R.I.P Ronnie. I used to love the Two Ronnies. How many more old favourites are we going to lose this year and it is only one quarter over?

I remember having a brief chat with Ronnie while waiting to board at Heathrow.

This is one of my favourite skits he did: The scenario was an empty room, with the background sound of a party going on. Ronnie was standing at one end, fidgeting with his hands nervously, and John Cleese at the other. Ronnie sidled up to John C. and awkwardly said: 'Hello!' - to which John C. replied: 'You're a very small person, aren't you - the Japanese are very small people - are you Japanese?'

It was hilarious!

I used to love the 2 Ronnies and especially the little stories from Ronnie Corbett

"Mr Wally Turdham has again won the most amorous milkman of the year award. Apparently, he’s so popular with his lady customers that he’s started leaving notes on their doorsteps saying: ‘None today, thank you."


but also liked Ronnie Corbett when he did sketches with other people, this is one of my favourites

Just watching a tribute to Ronnie on BBC. One of his jokes, I have been doing some decorating and I fell off the ladder painting the skirting board. Just showing the four candles sketch. Haha.

...I have been doing some decorating and I fell off the ladder painting the skirting board.......

Ladder? Skirting board? Picture rail, maybe......?

[woodspeckie]

He said skirting board, that's the joke because he was small.
