I hope he gets buried with his most hideous tie, you can hear the laughter from beyond the grave.

A seemingly genuinely lovely man who brightened the afternoons of old people and students throughout the country. Gone, but his puns will live forever.

There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

horridly bad puns










His puns wer'nt all bad. I remember a cool one. One contestant was a baker so he said to the contestant "so would you be a master-baker"

Nobody got it in the show but i laughed my ass off, i just could'nt believe it.

frown shocker for me too... i expected him an carroll to still be givin it with the banter till they were both on zimmer frames or even till channel 4 invented cyborg body suits to prolong their lives with....

so what happens now? is channel four suddenly going to switch off and vanish into the oblivion of that rainbow TV black hole? or has whitely already been put on ice in anticipation of his technologically aided second coming, the single thought of which keeps the channel going? or has stu just added him to the ranks of his secret undead army? umm

either way thoughts go to carrol an his family, fans etc... hug

it makes me sick.
HE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE WHITELEY!
also, he has a horrid moustache and has sex. richard never had sex. ever.

(in my pub, theres a wall of dead people - it started with a picture of john peel cut from the newspaper, now he's been joined by the late pope and richard. i like to look at him smiling down on me whilst i sup my hoegaarden and slate the barstaff)
