@GreenManReports I remember Frank Muir becoming obviously bored with some wannabe's gushing on The Wogan Show, he just turned and asked Terry "Have you seen the price of carrots?" - or, "Your private life drama baby, leave me out" - Grace Jones, oh and [very important] remember to make the signal
I am very sad to tell you all that Ed The Techie has passed away.
Many of my followers will be familiar with Ed. He was one of the funniest, kindest, and most consistently right among our ragtag band of online troublemakers.
Ed and I had something of a creative friendship on this platform, whereby Ed would often use elements of my cartoons in the images he created, or he would 'vlandalise' my work by inserting one of his Zelensky vlandles wherever any kind of shaft was featured.
It reached a point where I would often draw something specifically so that Ed could vlandalise it.
Normally I hate it when people muck about with my pictures, but Ed did it with such respect and good humour that I actually felt a bit disappointed when he left them alone.
Ed was one of those rare diamonds who managed to come through the last six years without abandoning any values or principles - always understanding what was good and right - and, just as importantly, never losing his sense of fun.
He brought a lot of laughter and comfort to many of us through his irreverent, incongruous, playful creations.
So, as a tribute to him, as a thank you, and as a final farewell, I've painted this. Because I think he would find it bloody hilarious.
God bless you, Ed.
You're flying with celestial seagulls now, my friend.
@cfryant Is this the same Bob who couldn't work out why there was no picture when he took the VHS tape out of its box and ran it through his 8mm projector?
