Mornington Crescent No More

Incredibly sad to hear about the death of Humphrey Lyttelton. Perhaps best known in recent years for somehow getting away with transmitting the most incredible double entrendres into homes across the UK as host on ISIHAC, he was also once described by Louis Armstrong as, "that cat in England who swings his ass off." Few of us can aspire to such an astonishing appraisal.

"As we journey through life, discarding baggage along the way, we should keep an iron grip, to the very end, on the capacity for silliness. It preserves the soul from dessication."

Humphrey Lyttelton, 1921-2008.
