He was a giant in British comedy - and seemed such a genuine and 'ordinary' bloke when off screen. It saddened me to hear that he'd died - but like others said, made me smile to think of his fantastic talent.

It says something about a Ronnie when you can be sad for loosing such a talent and overall nice guy but in the same moment he still makes you laugh as you remember his genius.


Excellent point Dan

I did'nt remember that one, it took me a few minutes to work it out but when I did - very funny.
What can you say, it takes a very special talent to come  up with something like that

Appears he wasn't a happy bunny for the last year or so.  His son was arrested on some porno charge, and he skipped bail and has been on the run ever since.

Shame that such sadness should affect the last part of the life of such a great and funny man
