Thanks for the laughter, John. See ya, Dave/April 26th 2011.

Richie - Like you we raised snifters in the snug to the memory of the great John Sullivan! May he rest in peace in that great Comedy Gold studio in the sky! But we shouldn't forget, Rich, that John was nurtured by that other beloved institution, the BBC. Without Auntie Beeb there would have been no Crazy Gang, no Python, no Fools & Horses, no Edmund Blackadder, no Office to name but a few. It just goes to show that, compared to the outrageous sums charged by biased private broadcasters for inferior product, the impartial Beeb offers superb value for money, I say! We also raised a snifter or two for another outstanding individual, namely Tim Hetherington, who was sadly killed while reporting the conflict in Libya. Here was a top class journo boldly doing what great journos do, getting to the heart of the story in order to educate and inform the public! What a shame other journos, especially those obsessed by mindless celebrity and wheelie bins, don't follow Tim's shining example I say!
