UK players will probably have heard that my namesake, the legendary Bob Monkhouse, has lost his fight with cancer:(
Bob was a classic comedian, a master of timing, comedic expression and the artful one liner. He hosted many entertaining quiz shows and was a phenomenal after dinner speaker (his "adult" material was a million miles from his TV work).
He will be sorely missed, lets all spare a thought for his family and friends.
I will leave you with a classic Monkhouse quote:
"People used to laugh when I said I wanted to be a comedian; well, they are not laughing now!"
RIP Bob Monkhouse :(
