Just a brief post to express my sadness at the passing of comedian Linda Smith, who died of cancer on Monday at the age of 48.
Whenever I happened to catch her on radio or TV I would vow to seek her out more often (which, regrettably, I rarely got around to), as she was never less than elegantly sharp, observant and amusing.
A favourite quote, with apologies for the paraphrasing as this is from memory:
(Speaking about Jeffrey Archer) " I am loathe to grant him the oxygen of publicity. I'm not that keen on him having the oxygen of oxygen".
A sad loss indeed.
