RIP Frank Carson

So I rang up British Telecom, I said 'I want to report a nuisance caller', he said 'Not you again'.

"Someone threw a petrol bomb at Alex Higgins once and he drank it!"

Have you heard about the Irishman who reversed into a car boot sale and sold the engine?

Paddy is woken in the middle of the night by a phone call. The caller says "Is that Dublin 22 33 22?" Paddy says "no it's Dublin 223 322!" the caller apologises for waking him in the middle of the night, Paddy says "Oh it's all right I had to get up to answer the phone anyhow!"

RIP Frank

Another sad loss RIP

A great age, a sad loss, but most important, a very funny man

RIP

RIP Frank, thanks for making me laugh so much.

By one of those strange coincidences, the death has been announced today of Ken Goodwin (78), who starred alongside Frank Carson in The Comedians in the 1970s.

Two great comic's, two who will be missed. "Settle down now" and "i'm to good for this place" Lots of fond memories of Ken, R.I.P.

Ken was just as funny as Frank was, yet it begs the question:- I wonder how many of the Comedians lineup are still alive?

Frank was one of the all time greatest comedians who could make any generation laugh, Frank you will be missed by many RIP
