Kingsland Red Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 The man is a legend, one of my heroes and just as mad in person as on stage / TV. What are we going to do now; what are we going to do now; etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamms_schmitz Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 This has been on the forum fairly recently. Shame that he lacks reasons why he hates Portsmouth. I could name 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 Thats funny. Spike Milligan was always good value, the tuesday comedy slot on R4 extra is a real bonus nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 Went to have a look at the great mans grave earlier this year. Very sad but it is currently unmarked. Due to a family dispute, the headstone has been removed and there is nothing but a Spike-sized oblong of earth. Hope that his headstone is back soon.

Wurzel Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 Thought I was being taken to see him at The Mayflower last week. Turned out to be Sarah Millican. Good, but not what I was expecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomer Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 Lasting memory of Spike was when he was being presented with a comedy award and a letter was read out from Prince Charles as quick as a flash came out the comment groveling little bastard.

Good, but not what I was expecting Spike was good but even if he would struggle to entertain these days, dead comedians are not usually very funny.

VectisSaint Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 (edited) Went to have a look at the great mans grave earlier this year. Very sad but it is currently unmarked. Due to a family dispute, the headstone has been removed and there is nothing but a Spike-sized oblong of earth. Hope that his headstone is back soon. Is that right? Are they still arguing over whether his epithet "I told you I was ill" could be engraved? I thought they had settled the matter by engraving it in Irish.

dronskisaint Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 I'm a huge fan of Milligan...I saw a grave in Alabama with the 'I told you I was ill' legend and it was credited to Spike Milligna..the well known typing error....fans in far flung places :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
