RIP Frank Carson

[Marys Man]

85-year-old Belfast-born comedian Frank Carson has died after a battle with stomach cancer.

Have to say I liked him - it was the way he told them.

You learn something new everyday!!     

Very funny man who will be genuinely missed. True story - a friend of mine met him in a bar in England;

Frank - 'You're from Northern Ireland?'

Mate - ' I am indeed Frank - what gave it away - the accent?'

Frank - 'Nah. It was the smell of semtex!!'

It really was the way he told 'em. Rest In Peace Frank.

He'll be missed alright, proper old school jokes. I remember him being on the Comedians years back when they had a thirty minute show of just joke after joke and he was brilliant on it.

* My father who fought in World War I single-handedly destroyed the Germans' lines of communication. He ate their pigeon.

It's a cracker

More from Frank

* Paddy calls a wrong number at 3am. "Is that O'Malley's Bar?" he asks. "No it's not, this is a private residence." "Oh, I must have the wrong number. Sorry to have troubled you," says Paddy. "Ah it's no trouble," says the stranger. "I had to get up to answer the phone anyway."

* A fella walks into a pet shop and says: “Give me a wasp.” The shopkeeper replies: “We don’t sell wasps.” He says: “There’s one in the window.”

* Someone threw a petrol bomb at Alex Higgins once. He drank it.

* A man goes into Boots and says: “Have you got Viagra?” “Do you have a prescription?” asks the chemist. “No,” he replies, “But I’ve got a photograph of the wife...”

* A fella walked into hospital and the doctor said: “You’ve got three minutes to live.” The man said: “Can you do something for me?” “Yes,” he said. “I’ll boil you an egg.”

* I don't think my wife likes me very much. When I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

* A fella said to the doctor: “What’s the good news?” “You’ve got 24 hours to live.” He says: “What’s the bad news?” And the doc says: “We should have told you yesterday.”

* I rang British Telecom. I said, “I want to report a nuisance caller.” He said: "Not you again.”

* My uncle Jimmy took liver salts twice a day for 40 years. He died on Sunday, was buried Wednesday and the following Friday they had to go to the cemetery to beat his liver to death with a stick.

* My wife said to me: “If you won the lottery, would you still love me?” I said: “Of course I would. I’d miss you, but I’d still love you.”

Frank Carson has passed away. Apparently he choked on some food. It's very early to say what caused it, but doctors think its a cracker.

I know this sounds a bit simplistic but the reason I found him funny is because in telling jokes mainly about Irish people, he knew it was because we could (and did) have a laugh at ourselves whereas other "comdians" (do I need to mention names) would tell Irish jokes because I actually think they really believed us to be thick.
I'd say his only regret in dying is ino n ot being able to joke about it himself.

RIP

Really enjoyed him old style quicjk fire joke teller. The one about looking for the man looking for ice on the Titanic was priceless.

[Harper]

It said on the radio that he wants his headstone to have 'Quiet isnt it?' written on it.  Fits just perfecet
