Bugger. :^(

 

Ginge. by 4 seconds. You should've done the Mavis

Indeed.

Nonetheless, I am saddened that the scalpel of time has met the tomcat
of Humph's existence.

Mrs Trellis will probably have something to say on the matter.

 

Arse.

 

Indeed, many *MANY* buggerations

Feck.

So that's the end of the best programmer on Radio 4 then.

RIP indeed.

I dare say a glass or two will be raised in Mornington Crescent.

 

Now that's a shame.

 

The funeral should be fun with the words of one hymn sung to the tune of
another.

I would have gone to see his band at the village hall on April 11th
but a friend was inconsiderate enough to have a 70th birthday party
on the same day. That was probably his last concert.

 

Bugger indeed.

Let's hope the Beeb find the only fitting tribute ... airing a complete
re-run of every episode ever aired ... several times.

 

I am expecting to see floral tributes outside a certain LU station.

 

Read the following with Humph's voice in your head:

- "Samantha’s just started keeping bees and already has three dozen or
so. She says she’s got an expert handler coming round to give a
demonstration. He’ll carefully take out her 38 bees and soon have them
flying round his head”

- “Samantha has to nip off to the National Opera, where she’s been
giving private tuition to the singers. Having seen what she did to the
baritone, the director is keen to see what she might do for a tenor”

- “Samantha has to nip off to a Welsh Conservative Association dinner
for their most senior MP, whose name is said to be almost impossible
to pronounce. She’s certainly found the longest standing Welsh member
a bit of a mouthful”

- “Samantha has to go now as she’s off to meet her Italian gentleman
friend who’s taking her out for an ice-cream. She says she likes to
spend the evening licking the nuts off a large Neapolitan”

- “Samantha does a few chores for an elderly gentleman who lives
nearby. She shows him how to use the washing machine and then prunes
his fruit trees. Later he’ll hang out his pyjamas as he watches her
beaver away up the ladder”

- “After tasting the meat pies, Samantha said she liked Mr Dewhurst’s
beef in ale; although she preferred his tongue in cider”

Me too and I'm not a great jazz fan. I'd occasionally catch his Radio show
if I was out in the car at night and I'll miss that now too.

Looks like the frog of time has met the hovermower of destiny.

Damnit, I haven't heard ISIHAC for ages and now it'll never be the same.

And stick them up your shiter."

Heh.

Just seen this on the Beeb "Have your say" bit:

"I shall long keep the letters you exchanged with my wife.
Thank you for keeping her quiet on Saturdays and Mondays.

Alphonso Trellis, North Wales "

 

Classic stuff...

 

The regulars have all said the show would survive without them (and has
in the case of Willie Rushton) but no Humph, no ISIHAC.

 

I've no doubt the beeb will try, but there will always be unfavourable
comparisons made. Humph made the shoe, imo.

The BBC may try but the regulars have all said they wouldn't. If it
doesn't have HL or GG then it won't be ISIHAC.
