    It's sad to hear of the death of the Scottish comedian Ronnie Corbett. A funny man in his own right, he'll always be remembered as one half of The Two Ronnies. His old partner Ronnie Barker died a few years ago. It seems a fitting tribute to put up the legendary "Four Candles" sketch.

    That was hilarious. I have to ask, though, what is a billhook?

    It's a bit like a machete and used by gardeners and people working in woodland. Something like this:

    One other thing I intended to mention: there is a pub in Oxford called The Four Candles and yes, it is a tribute to Ronnie Barker, who went to school in that city.

    Celebrities are dropping like flies this year, I can hardly keep up with it, and we're only in the first quarter... :(
