That's the problem with Twitter though. No ability to share drinks..
The last two people whose deaths I found out about from this blog were Tony Wilson and Oliver Postgate. I had nothing against Ludovic Kennedy (quite liked him in that episode of 'Yes, Minister'), but this is much more like it.
Where's the Mail column slagging him off? I assumed they do it for everyone.
Boz: Twinks.
Chris: He played drums in a jazz band with Humphrey Lyttelton. Can't have been a bad bloke.
Billy: No, he died of pneumonia, not of gayness.
