Dangerously rude health? What the fuck's Walliams problem? The Dame Shirley Bassey tribute, tweeting about George Michael's death and now this shit. Can someone kick him in the belly?

Hope Forde is watching and taking notes on how a real comedian works. Most of Bob's jokes wouldn't get past the list of
PC-approved material.

I've been back in the UK for only ten days and I've seen this cunt on four different programmes, AND I hardly even watch the telly. Like fucking dogshit.

'When I said I was going to become a comedian, they all laughed. Well, they're not laughing now.'

This remains one of the sharpest, most brilliant jokes ever written.

He told the story of when he was a panelist doing local auditions in Glasgow for a TV show. There was a bit of a problem amongst the hopeful talent and one bloke among them decided to take to the stage to protest to the panel completely naked except for a pair of socks.
After listening to his long impassioned pleading Bob thanked him, said he had a lot of good points and then asked, "Why the socks if you don't mind me asking? ........."That's another thing, it's fucking cold in here as well by the way"

'It says he was in the Hussars - Its doesn't say whose arse'.

Loved the stories and hearing Mike Yarwood and about his decline.

An honest yet not too sentimental revelation of what it's like to do their job.
