Goodbye Bernard, you were the best.

You kept going despite the politically correct ponces that wanted to stop you.

I am gonna miss you.

Love

We still have his posts.  It's "frozen Bernhard."

Maybe that's all he had to say?  I mean if he was here posting links to things he already said, it would pretty much be the same.  Maybe it will teach people to search for stuff.

I like to ask though.  Be lazy, but interactive.


There will be other Bernhards.  There are.  They are out there.  They just aren't posting on here.

I knew this would happen, eventhough I also do not know this Manning guy.

It doesn't mention anything about his contributions to this piano forum

that is because there is a bernard and a bernhard.  two different people aren't they?  or are they?  we haven't heard from bernhard in a while.  but, i thought he had a wife and two daughters and was still alive. this guy is dead and had a son or something.  also, he was 76.  bernhard is a young 50ish guy.  he likes to drink scotch.  this guy was a tea-totaller.  bernhard is a pianist.  this guy is a singer.  hmmm.  they must be two different people.  plus,  i bet bernhard has a different last name.  maybe he gave it out once.

Just to make sure everyone knows,  i am not referring to our Hanon bashing friend that used to post here.

I am talking about a great English comedian that sadly passed away yesterday.

He told racist jokes, and was a self-confessed racist, but apparently was an allround nice guy.

The british press didn't know what to do with his death, mourn or celebrate..

As Bernard said, "they can dance on my grave, i'm gonna be buried at sea"

He told jokes about anything and everybody, i would personally not describe him as a racist. Even Clive Lloyd asked him to do a stint at his birthday party.

Regretfully, politically correct morons and over sensitive immigrants made it impossible for him to have a wider audience.

I did go to see one of his shows at the Circus Tavern and laughed so much, i nearly did my pants.

he was doing a show nearby. but i have never heard his jokes, only that he was thought of as a bit racist.
