Zwilnik Alpha Geek Posts: 291 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000	posted February 27, 2002 08:50 The greatest and last of the goons, Spike Milligan died today at the age of 83 http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/entertainment/tv_and_radio/newsid_1843000/1843963.stm Spike was a pioneer of alternative comedy, inspiring many (if not most) of the later comedians much loved by geeks. Funny and controversial to the last, Spike even proved the Variety Club of Great Britain wrong by living for at least 2 years after they gave him a lifetime achievement award. IP: Logged

What was it he called Prince Charles at a ceremony a couple of years ago? Was it a 'grovelling little shit?' Charlie was there as well, I believe. There weren't many like him. ------------------ /* I often wonder where Norman is now. Probably wintering with his Mother in Guildford with a cat, the rain, vim under the sink, and both bars on.*/ IP: Logged

Zwilnik Alpha Geek Posts: 291 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000	posted February 27, 2002 10:00 even better, he later faxed Prince Charles (who was a great fan and friend of his) with a note that said 'I suppose a knighthood is out of the question now then ?' Spike got his honorary knighthood last year IP: Logged
