Legendary writer of films and plays, Neil Simon, has died at 91.

Thematically, ahead of his time in the sixties, notably the comedy bromance, The Odd Couple.

A personal favourite is more of a rat-race drama, The Prisoner of Second Avenue.

Chas Hodges, from Chas and Dave.... 74

RIP

you were just the kind of girl to break my heart in two
I knew right off when I first clapped my eyes on you
but how was I to know you'd bend my earholes too
with your incessant talking
you're becoming a pest
