RIP Hughie, a proper legend and a damn nice bloke as well. I only saw him a few years ago when he was playing a veterans’ game and he was in fine form then. This is one of my favourite pics of mine of

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

He was Pigsy in season 1, and I thought he was a lot better than his replacement. Here he is with Masaaki "Monkey" Sakai being very silly on a TV show. A good way to remember him.

Loved Monkey. Don't make 'em like that anymore. 

The NetFlix show from 2018, The New Legends of Monkey was quite a lot of fun. There have been many adaptations of Wu Cheng'en's classic tale - often very good ones.

But they weren't on British TV when we were kids.

Derwent is correct. He was a champion Budgerigar breeder.

Twitter is saying that the cartoonist Ed McLachlan has died. Never knowingly tasteful or safe, his work was a big part in shaping my sense of humour.

Thanks for posting this, Futtocks. 

The last edition of Private Eye posted some of their favourite cartoons of his.  They included my favourite in which behind a cricket stadium, with a handful of spectators in (I presume for a county championship match), a massive dinosaur is tearing down houses and factories.  The umpire at the bowler's end has turned round to watch this.  The caption is in inverted commas, so clearly the words being said by a match commentator:

"...and once again we have interruption of play caused by movement behind the bowler's arm..."

RIP McLachlan.
