Title: It's a cracker !
Post by: Techno on 23 February 2012, 08:05:56 AM
Sad to hear on the news this morning about of the death of Frank Carson.
From what I've heard of the tributes so far, I feel I missed out by never seeing him live on stage.

One of the gags they've been repeating this morning.....
"I don't think my wife likes me very much.....I had a heart attack and she wrote for an ambulance."

Cheers - Phil

He was sooo fast!

His family's statement said the "husband, father, Gaga and comedian set off for his final gig today".

"He went peacefully at his home in Blackpool surrounded by his greatest fans - his extended family. We will be taking him home to Belfast to lay him to rest and celebrate his joyful life.

"It's quieter down here now. God help them up there!!"

One of Spike Milligan’s favourite jokes neatly encapuslated the problem: “What’s the difference between Frank Carson and the M1?” “You can turn off the M1”.

It was, i believe, the way he told them.   ;)
