Eric Sykes was great.
Although it does seem that you only have to die to be considered a genius. Christ, they said the same about Norman Wisdom.

Although, actually, in comparison, that makes it true about Sykes.

I'm surprised he was so young though, I thought he was about 173 or something. I'm sure he was in his 80's when I was born. At least that's how he always looked to me.

Norman Wisdom is fucking shit.
His son Lee Evans even more so.

To quote my own "joke" from the time
"Norman Wisdom died? I assumed he'd died years ago, why else has Lee Evans being touring that tribute act for so long?"

Lee Evans is fucking AWFUL.
Why do people actually think that he's funny?

There must be a hell of a lot of Norman Wisdom fans out there who just can't let go.

They're tripping over their own feet to get Evans tickets.

I literally know nothing else about Norman Wisdom to keep this bit going with.

Me neither.
Apart from the aside that my one of my favourite bands, The Pretty Things, have a cameo in the otherwise horrendous Wisdom film 'What's Good for the Goose'.

Sweet Fuck. He was no Lee Evans.
