Phantom 2,533 Posted October 29, 2020 3 hours ago, Thatcher said: Bobby Ball, half of Cannon and Ball, dead aged 76 after testing positive for Covid. Obituaries: The Sun, Metro, Daily Mirror, Daily Star, Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Independent, The Guardian, BBC. Met him back in '89 when he and Tommy Cannon were staying at the hotel I was working at. He was annoying the crap out of me and a few of the guest at the hotel while at the buffet. I was carving the roasts at the buffet. I calmly placed the carving knife and fork back on the chopping board, turned to him and said "I'm sorry Mr Ball, I find you to be not very funny at all" and walked away. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few years later one of the sicker relations to Viz comic ran a readers letter asking if anyone could help the Blakelock family find their dad who was last seen wading into a frenzied mob of Tottenham rioters wearing a police uniform. As I recall, that "joke" generated a few complaints 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
