"The drought is terrible -- I rode the train from London to Bristol and didn't pass water once."
A superb comedian. It really is the very end of an era with his passing. Morecambe and Wise, gone, and now The Two Ronnies gone. Very sad.
Hope he is now getting comfy in that big leather chair in the sky.
It’s goodnight from him...
RIP.
I was tempted to post a thread, but I wasn’t sure how many Freepers would know who he is.
Such sad news. Both Ronnies now gone. There aren’t any British comedy greats left now except the Pythons.
Its hard to explain just how huge The Two Ronnies were and still are collectively and individually in the UK. A huge part of British pop culture.
Media in the UK reporting he was suffering from Motor Neurone Disease. thankfully only started around Christmas, until then he looked very fit and well.
