And It's Goodnight From Him...

British comedian, Ronnie Barker, star of such great shows as The Two Ronnies, Porridge, and Open All Hours, died this week.

He was one of Britains most loved stars. I grew up watching him and always had a good laugh. He and Ronnie Corbett were a great team. It wouldn't be wrong to call him a legend.

Here are some of his famous lines. Hope you enjoy them:

• Following the dispute with the domestic servants' union at Buckingham Palace today, the Queen, a radiant figure in a white silk gown and crimson robe, swept down the main staircase and through the hall. She then dusted the cloak room and vacuumed the lounge.
• And we had hoped to have been bringing you Arthur the Human Chameleon, but this afternoon, he crawled across a tartan rug and died of exhaustion. But first, the news: The House of Commons was sealed off today after police chased an escaped lunatic through the front door during Prime Minister's question time. A spokesman at Scotland Yard said it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
• Good evening. I am the president of the Loyal Society for the Relief of Suffers from Pismronunciation, for the relief of people who can't say their worms correctly, or who use the wrong worms entirely, so that other people cannot underhand a bird they are spraying. It's just that you open your mouse, and the worms come turbling out in wuck a say that you dick not what you're thugging to be, and it's very distressing.
• "The man who invented the zip fastener was today honoured with a lifetime peerage. He will now be known as the Lord of the Flies."
• "The toilets at a local police station have been stolen. Police say they have nothing to go on."
• "In a packed program tonight we will be talking to an out-of-work contortionist who says he can no longer make ends meet."
• "Many old music hall fans were present at the funeral today of Fred 'Chuckles' Jenkins, Britain's oldest and unfunniest comedian. In tribute, the vicar read out one of Fred's jokes, and the congregation had two minutes silence."
• "This kitchen appliance completely replaces the milkman, unless you're the woman at 14 Catbury Drive with the green door."
• In The Two Ronnies, Barker and sidekick Ronnie Corbett ended each programme with a spoof news broadcast. Ronnie Corbett: "It's a good night from me." Ronnie Barker: "And it's a good night from him."

Great stuff! He will be missed.
