Barry Cryer down.

I've said it before, and it is becoming a regular and too often repeated
refrain lately, but - Carpe Diem!

Had more than a decade on me though TBF.

Not often we lose one with a clean reputation either. My all-time favourite joke is a Clement Freud one, and it's forever tainted by the association.

Indeed.

In the last 2 days I've listened to both the Barry Cryer episodes of
Desert Island Disks and RHLSTP. Both were charming, though he used the
words fuck and cunt a lot more in the latter.

I told it to my co-workers today as neither of them had heard it.
One of them had heard the one about the lady on the train with a bible.

It was well received by all present.

The joke was funny, but it's hard to separate the joke from the joker.

Oops, bad form etc but I seem to have mixed up my childhood rather than
simply being mixed up by it:

I was sure Arthur Mullard played Bonehead - oh well!
