'Tis a sad day...
 Is it me or are a whole load of ppl dying recently?
The other noticable one for me is Spike Milligan.

He was a off the wall British comedian, kinda like Monty Python... but not.

Spike Milligan was one of the Goons. He and a few other comedians (like Peter Sellers) are the fathers of modern British surreal comedy. Without them, there could be no Monty Python, really.

I'm sorry to hear about the Queen Mother. She was nice old lady. Even my wife, who detests all things Royal, was sad to see the grand old dame depart.
