    I met him in a pub beer garden in Eastbourne once in the late 90s. I thanked him for making us laugh, and I had recently seen him receiving an award, which he chuckled at.
    I recommend you watch 'spikes lifetime achievement award' speech. It's possibly his last great tv comedy genius moment, and the laughter at one particular joke is quite literally, 'a show stopper'. Bless him.

    'An Evening with Spike Mlligan ' is well worth a watch which was a performance later in his life i play it often . I was performed in front of an audience of celebrities which included his old Goons mate Harry Secombe plus a German ex paratrooper who tried to shoot him during the war so Spike asked him out for a meal....of course he did that's Spike.

    Since being a young teen I have been a great fan of poetry and this is all down to receiving Spike's poetry anthology A Little Pot Boiler as a gift. A silly little book like that was my gateway to a wonderful world of poetry appreciation and I can still recite many of those verses word for word.

    Some of Spikes funniest interactions are when he appears on interview shows. There's no telling in what direction he's going to go. The stuff he comes out with is amazing.
    Don't remember seeing this sermon piece before. It's typical spike, but reminded me a bit of Ronnie Barker doing similar stuff. Enjoyed it.
    If you want a real laugh, get hold of Soike's war time autobiographyis. They are quite brilliant.

    if you get the chance, read Spike's war memoirs. they start with him as a gunner in the Royal Artillery, his service in North Africa and how he got wounded during the fighting in Italy (which gave him PTSD) and how along the way he started a jazz band then a concert party which was the precursor to the Goons

    These days, Spike's military trauma would lead to a diagnosis of PTSD and some serious long-term therapy. It was painful for him, but a blessing for us, that his mental suffering encouraged him to create humour that has stood the test of time and has been a huge influence on British comedy.

    I did enjoy it, Squirrel, muchly so! Spike is my all-time favourite comedian, he was just so original (which is hard to tell in retrospect because so many have copied, or been "inspired" by him - such as Monty Python - that he looks run-of-the-mill today, a bit like the guy who went to see Hamlet and said "it was rubbish, it was just full of cliches") - there's no-one quite as original as Spike. They say genius is close to madness. This guy proved it.

    COMMENT 1
    Have you seen Spike's famous speech on the inaugural British Comedy Awards? (Or the uncensored version of Julian Clary's speech).
    COMMENT 2
    *Number-plate RU12 - "are you one [a homosexual], too?";
    * There was an earlier version of the sketch in which passers-by saw the robbed man and sayeth unto themselves "he must be Brahms & Liszt, therefore they speaketh not, nor dialleth 9-9-9";
    * Watching this roused some dormant memories/grievances:
    It's true that many police/magistrates impose stiff fines for outdoor urination, but speaking as one who's been rough-living-homeless, more than once, I know that many towns have "unofficial pissoirs" where you can get away with it - a necessity because so few towns nowadays have 24-hour toilets. (Those used to be widespread but, because homeless people use them overnight as places to warm up and/or sleep, councils started shutting them down as part of the criminalisation of "vagrancy" that comes with gentrification)

    A nice bit of schoolboy smut with the donkey (better not call it by the name he gave it in case I'm censored) having the registration number RU12 (are you one too?)! Anyway, for an example of Spike displaying outrageous politically incorrectness, bad taste and national stereotypes (and being falling-over funny), I recommend his take on the Eurovision Song Contest in which he does "Waiter, there's a fly in my soup" in the style of various different countries.

    I would recommend you read his book, Adolf Hitler, My Part In His Downfall. Basically his war memoirs.
    I love his story of his first meeting with Harry Secombe, I will tell it to the best of my recollection, I haven't read the book in decades...Spike was a gunner, his large artillery gun had been placed at the top of a hill, the British army was camped at the bottom of the hill. Spike fired his gun at the Germans but he hadn't put the brakes on. The huge gun weighing several tons shot backwards down the hill toward the camp with Spike in hot pursuit, the first person he saw was Harry and the following brief conversation was like something from a Goon show.
    Spike..."Did you see my gun pass this way" ?
    Harry..."What colour is it" ?
