Irish comedian from yesteryear has died, aged 68.
I remember watching his show on the ABC when I was younger, late at night. He was so irreverent, he was even given an ultimatum to stop taking the piss out of the catholic church or be excommunicated. He chose to be excommunicated, so he won't go to heaven.
Coming as he did from Ireland, a country noted for (relatively) fanatical catholicism, you've got to respect that.
Doubtless he has a glass of fine whisky & a cigarette in hand where ever he is now.

I remember watching his show with my Dad on Friday (or was it Saturday) nights when I was about ten?
That's sad.
He was funny. I particularly remember that he would joke about his missing finger.
A sad loss, and so young.
