Oh dear

It seems that that wine-imbibing chef Keith Floyd has died.

(His death is much more affecting to me than Swayze's, having watched many, many more hours of him.)

Ditto, but I suspect this means he's been Huxleyed as well.

Absolutely - I used to watch 'Floyd on...' religiously as a kid; the slightly chaotic setpieces were as fun as the recipes.

I thought he'd died years ago.

I was watching Keith Meets keith on CH4 last night and was thinking Keith Floyd was not looking at all well.

I shall have a quick slurp in his honour at lunchtime. :-(

...that was a somewhat bizarre way to learn Patrick Swayze had died...

He taught me almost everything I needed to know about cooking with wine, I'm sure I have watched more of him than any other celebrity chef.

I never had much time for him,but he gave a lot of people a lot of fun and education, and you can't hold that against anyone. He'll be missed, especially by his creditors.

Me too.
But rather more amazeed at Swayze..

It's sad both ways, though I'm more affected by Swayze.

I'd echo that. Geoff and I would watch his "Floyd on..." programmes every week and I have a number of his books. He had a knack of showing how to cook the way I tend to cook - rather haphazzardly and like it wasn't the most important thing in the world.
