Hi

[@biggusdickus5986]

Yeah paul it was tragic she died so young, she was a mainstay on Radio 4s news quiz for many years her wit was lightning fast and terrifically funny. She starred in the show with Jeremy Hardy another great comedien sadly taken fairly young at 57 his wit was bitingly savage at times but understated you didn't always realise how deeply he had bit on something until seconds after, or l didn't anyway l might be thicker than l thought. Lol
