LordWoolamalooJust been reminded by someone that today would have been the birthday of the late, great Spike Milligan. Loved listening to old recordings of the Goon Show when I was young, the absurdist humour appealed to me hugely (friends and I even performed some at school). Soon found his war memoirs, and the Q series. Evolution of British comedy would have been very different without Spike.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/SpikeMilligan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpikeMilligan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/comedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comedy</a>
