Ernie?
Eric and Ernie, remember? "Four Candles", all that shit.
You're thinking of Eric Morecambe. He passed away in 1984.
And the "Four Candles' sketch was The Two Ronnies - Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett
Sad that he was never knighted - particularly as he refused to swear throughout his career which you would have thought would have made him the kind of respectable person who would get knighted.
Amusing that he called his autobiography 'If I don't write it, nobody else will'. You always find out things about people when they die that you never knew when they were alive - with Eric for me its that he was a voice on the Teletubbies.
Think the headline has to be along the lines of 'Walking the Plank' which Torbrexbones has already highlighted although it could also be 'Mr S is Late'
Two Dale Farm residents have been Tasered during evictions. Unlikely things will get worse, but fleeting national fame would probably follow any death in these circumstances. Should Gazza arrive in Basildon with chicken and lager...be very afraid!
