Genuinely saddened by this news. RIP

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley. God, I loved that man's comedy...
Yeah Dunny me too. One of my favourite childhood memories is of me wearing pjs, fire blazing and cuddled up to my dad laughing our heads off watching airplane.
A few years ago it was on tv and I recorded it on sky+ and watched it with my boys and was thrilled that they found it so funny. It's one of only a handful of my childhood favourites that they appreciate (blazing saddles being another) and its still kept on the sky box and gets watched every now and again. Perfect viewing today. R.I.P. Leslie. X
I still remember him on the Den with Ray D'Arcy just before Naked Gun 33 1/3 came out. Since he was deaf (which I didn't know until years later) and he couldn't lip read Dustin or Zig and Zag it just led to one of the most bizarre conversations I've ever seen.
The only lines I can clearly remember from it was when they were trying to find out when the film was coming to cinema, the lads kept saying random days, he kept saying "what", so eventually, Ray stepped in and said "is it coming out on friday", and he just said "we'll say Friday so"
Actually, if anyone has any contacts in RTE, if you could ask them to dig it out of the archives, it would be the perfect tribute.
Didn't he wear a hearing aid though?
The night before one of my leaving cert maths exams Airplane was on, so I watched it instead of studying. It also involved staying up rather later than was really a good idea.
It was worth it though, even if I spannered the exam somewhat.
Irvin Kershner (director of Empire Strikes Back) has also passed away.
He is one with the force now.
"How did you get in here and who are you?"
"I'm a locksmith and...I'm a locksmith".
R.I.P.
I just wanted to tell you both - good luck, we're all counting on you,
Another legend down.
Watch out for the FOOT!!...
