Que?
Sad

So sorry for autocorrect mistake. I will ask mnhq to correct.

Sorry link

That is sad.
It's not been a good year has it. Thank god it's nearly over.

Incredible to think Fawlty Towers only had 12 episodes.

We have a family saying, well shorthand really. "Manuel". It means what I'm about to tell you or have just, you didn't hear - "I know nothing".

And often when someone fumbles a sentence or word, "I speak very good English. I learn it from a boooook."

Que? Was exactly what I thought.

We use "eees not rat, is ham" when having ham sandwiches in honour of Manuel's pet hamster/rat :)

So sad.

We called our hamster basil

We have hammer sandwiches

I was convinced he was Spanish and only just found out he was German by birth.. I loooove Fawlty Towers and Andrew Sachs was totally superb as Manuel. . Best British comedy ever and may he RIP.

So sad too. But I like the fact his family could bury him before there was an official announcement.

We have a family custom of watching something relevant in memory of recently dead star. So obvs it's Fawlty Towers tonight. But which one? 3 of our 4 DC are not here tonight though - a diminished family viewing it will be.

So sad he was a real gent by all accounts.
Also, a very talented funny man, may he RIP.
