Barry Chuckle. Always found the chuckle brothers great fun.

 

[Fulford]

The Chuckle Brothers were always a good harmless laugh.

RIP Barry and thanks for the laughs

Favourite Chuckle Brothers gag:

"It’s a nice church, Vicar."

"It’s Norman."

"It’s a nice church, Norman."

I was SOOOO happy when I heard Barry Chuckle had died.


Let me explain...

I was watching on BBC News and the ticker was scrolling along the bottom...

"Barry Chuckle, one half of the Chuckle brothers has...."

I'm thinking, oh no he's either dead, or a peado....

"... .died aged 73".


PHEW!!!

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Yeah, I must admit, whenever I hear that kind of start on the news involving a 70s or 80s children's 'entertainer', I do expect the word 'paedophile' to follow soon after!

 

[The Fear]

I know nothing at all about the chuckle brothers, different generation I guess.

Legendary French "chef of the century" Joël Robuchon has passed away, aged 73.

A colossus of the restaurant industry. RIP Joël.

 

[The Fear]

Au revoir

Jarrod Lyle, Australian golfer. He was only 36 and leaves behind two daughters aged 6 and 2.

RIP Jarrod.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Yes, saw this Deano. Sad times, heart goes out to his young family

Aretha Franklin, aged 76.

Amazing artist, love her voice. RIP

 

[sirdennis]

I'll say a little prayer for her then.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Yes, so sad to hear about Aretha Franklin. I heard earlier today she was hanging on, but at least she can rest easy now.

Rest In Peace Aretha.

RIP Aretha, an incredible journey has come to an end; from being a mother of two boys at 14 years old, to providing an iconic soundtrack during the tumultous civil rights years of the 60's whilst becoming one of the greatest soul voices of a generation.

A life lived with distinction that touched millions.

Yes, heard that Kofi Annan on the radio earlier this morning.

Rest In Peace Kofi.

Jimmy McIlroy - Burnely & NI forward in the 50s and 60s - aged 86.

A little before my time, but I've seen footage and read reports - top player. (Or, top, top players as they say these days because one 'tops' is just not enough!)

RIP Jimmy.

Rest In Peace

John McCain, ex Vietnam war hero, and US Senator and Republican Presidential Nominee has passed away, aged 81.

Rest In Peace

Yes, and as classy as ever, Trump couldn't bring himself to offer any recognition of McCain's service to his country for 60-odd years. Pathetic man.

RIP Senator McCain - not my kind of politics but no doubt he made huge contributions to his country.
