From olddude:

>>I read that some celeb had
"I told you I was sick" <<

It was our beloved Spike Milligan, Dan...greatly missed over here in the UK. He was just the funniest man. Suffered terrible depression in his life though, often locking himself away for weeks at a time, but when he came back to us, he made us cry with laughter. He was one of The Goons, along with Harry Seccombe, Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine. He was all around, everywhere, in my childhood...and he was still there making my daughter laugh, so many years later.

If only we could have him back again! Still, we sell loads of books about Spike in The National Trust shop, so he's still very much loved and far from forgotten about.
