Bobby Ball has pegged out.

It used to be mainly men who had turned 40, they also started wearing cardigans with animals on them.

That's not very classy is it eh uncle Mick ?. Why do you choose to take the 'mick' like that anyway on this subject ?.

I honestly couldn’t give a **** if this offends you Acid.

You’re not family, you’re not close and I’ll guess you never even met him so it doesn’t really matter does it.

Up until “finding god” he was a serial womaniser and drinker and generally unpleasant individual and that’s his own description of himself.

I’m irreverent about death anyway as are most fellow Yorkshireman I know.......when I die I’m sure they’ll put the bunting out, I really couldn’t care less.

Each to his own in life......this was a bloke that had me reaching for the remote to change channel.

"what sort of person used to go...pay cash for..........The Birdie Song"

The same kind of simpletons who used to dance to it

I've danced to the birdie song. Never been afraid of making a fool of myself or having a bit of fun as I like to call it.

Never paid cash for Birdie Song or similar as I like to think I've never been a fool with my cash. There again there are many who would consider the £000's I've spent watching The Albion as foolish.

9 goals, you beat me to it with your last sentence.

Nout like having a bit of fun, better that being the misery sat in the corner supping a half pint of milk stout and moaning about the youth of today. Oh how some sound like parents of the 60’s & 70’s, the ones the miseries of today used to laugh at.

Spending £££££'s to watch the Albion IS foolish, I know, I have done that myself.

So glad to find someone on here that lives in my world and is not another doom and gloom merchant.

I love comedy (can't find Bobby Ball funny) and would love to be able to write comedy sketches. I have done 15 mins or so of stand up at the blokes only Xmas do in the village for the last few years.

Not everyone's cup of tea but I love this

I used to wonder how Cannon & Ball and Little & Large kept the same act going for so many years but I that applies to plenty of others as well. Just not funny in my book. Comedy is subjective for sure, I know I'm in a minority with this but I do not find Michael Mcintyre funny in the slightest. I just don't get it. Same as Mrs Brown's Boys. I've heard much funnier stuff down the pub. Everyone to their own I guess.

I agree with you regarding Michael McIntyre, doesn’t make me laugh at all. As for Mrs Browns Boys, words fail me, how can there be anything remotely amusing about a bunch of pikeys?

Tommy Cooper was brilliant, didn’t even have to say anything to get a laugh. Dave Allen was great, remember him? Paul Merton, Reginald D Hunter, Ross Noble, plenty of good comedians about.

Exactly Mick. How can people pretend to shed tears for people they don't remotely know.
How many said RIP for Jimmy Saville when he died?

I didn’t find Tommy Cooper funny, it was the same joke repeated over and over and a stupid catchphrase.

Dave Allen was sublime.

Reginald D Hunter is clever.

Paul Merton funny in an abstract way like Spike Milligan.

There’s a Scottish lad called Kevin Maguire ( I think ) who’s excellent.

Bob Monkhouse was a genius.

I loved Bernard Manning.........very un “PC” and offensive to many by today’s standards but right up my street.

If I had to name one though, for sheer magnetic presence, energy and completely manic it’d have to be Robin Williams.

Loved his take on golf......Des will appreciate this😆
