Bloody hell, I thought he'd popped off years ago

Me too, mind you 90 is bloody good RIP

Wasn't it Arthur Daley who coined the much used phrase "she who must be obeyed", the acronym for which SWMBO is much used by CC'ers on here?

RIP. Make mine a large one.

I'm sad and her indoors is also sad! R I P George.

One of a kind. The only actor I can think of who's added two distinct expressions to my speech: 'er indoors, and the world is our lobster. RIP Arfur.

My favourite quote from Arthur Daley is "if you can keep your 'ead when all around are losing theirs, your onto a nice little earner my son "

I liked his line bemoaning having to knock a bit off as one of his used cars wasn't selling. "How much are you knocking off", says Tel. "two owners and 50000 miles" says Arthur

Originally from "She" by Rider Haggard.

RIP George.
You certainly enriched my life with all the characters that you became.

Alastair's wife Naomi wrote an excellent memoir called Dance and Skylark, there's some nice pics of the Sims and George in it.
