    Blimey , that's a slow RIP.

    Seems like the Charlton life readership are slacking.

    You seem like you get really annoyed by people dying?

    Fair enough. I think some people just like remembering the stuff the deceased was involved in. Personally, I've not heard of 90% of them.

    Blakey was one of the great characters of British comedy, despite what you might think of On The Buses. Also saw him on-stage at The Young Vic a couple of times. A real favourite of mine, RIP Blakey.

    Waiting for a "football stadium" bus in Genoa....supposed to run from one pm, we stood there like lemons for half an hour with nothing happening. Then a few Sampdoria fans started appearing together with a bus inspector complete with clipboard. He got serenaded with "BLAKEY, BLAKEY WHERES THE BUS" (English version).

    I'd love to say he turned round and said "I hate you lot" but he sort of grinned and moved in the general direction of away. You may scoff, but the bus came round the corner ten seconds later.

    RIP

    This is like one of those classic sentences used to demonstrate the correct use of punctuation!

    So he did end up on the number 11 to the Cemetery Gates after all.

    Comedy icon. RIP Blakey.

    He was absolutely perfect for that programme. I don't remember him in anything else though. "It's like the moon coming over the mountains!"

    RIP Blakey
