The Late Humphrey Lyttleton

It is with great sadness that I heard the news of the passing of Humphrey Lyttleton.

Although Jazz has never really been my kind of music, ( all the right notes, but played in the wrong order ), I came to love him as the compere of BBC Radio 4′s “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue”.

The game of Mornington Crescent which I initiated in my last post as a “Get Well Soon” message now becomes a tribute to this immensely funny character.

Any passing bloggers are welcome to join in, even if you don’t understand the rules, and I may initiate a “Tribute Tournament” if enough interest is shown.

R.I.P. Humph, and thank you for all the tears of laughter.

Mornington Crescent – “Humph” Tribute Game

In a momentary break from the trials and tribulations of the past few days I happened to notice, on my daughters slimming site message board that she had left open on the computer, that Humphrey Lyttleton has been taken ill.

The marvellous host of my favourite radio show “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue” is in hospital at the moment, poorly sick.  Get well soon you old critter.

My version of a “get well card” is to initiate a game of “Mornington Crescent” on my blog (not original, but quick to do).

We are playing to the rules as set down in Holztenstein’s “Crescent Revisited”, (abridged 1981 edition), and I shall go first.
