Humphrey Lyttelton

Has died.

The radio wont be the same without him.

I don't expect many of you noobs to understand my sentiments but he was fab.

And, damnit, he wasn't even on my dead list.

He looks like a zombie...

Humphrey Lyttelton was old school genious. We won't see his like again, they are quite literally a dying breed.

Requiescant In Pace

RIP :rip:

For some reason I always thought it was ' Recquiem in pace'. Is it merely the difference between present tense and subjunctive future?

He had a face for radio.

RIP and stuff.

Got any favourite excerpts and stuff you'd like to share, like?

I'd never herd of him or owt.

Listen to any of "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" on the BBC website. It's a panel game on BBC Radio 4.

He had the gift of getting away with being absolutely filthy on daytime radio by being good humoured and tongue in cheek.

I don't know, that's just the way I learned it, for singing hymns in Latin.

Actually I think I may have made a mistake anyway. Requiescant in Pace may refer to the plural, as in may they rest in peace. I think the singular might be Requiescat in pace (without the "n") I'm not sure though.

Sorry Humphrey

The temptation to post 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue who you're talking about' was just too great to resist.

RIP Humf, you jazz legend you.

Peace and pipe Hump. :smilie4:
