      I loved how he described other celeb chefs as "a bunch of cnuts!"

      RIP Keith.

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        Never really been into cookery programmes per se but I used to enjoy his shows. I particularly liked the ones he did on France and Spain. He also had good taste in music, I seem to recall he used to feature music by The Stranglers in his shows. Whether or not he was friends with Hugh Cornwall I don't know but I think they were both based in Bristol at one time.

          They used to gig at one of his places I seem to remember.

            I really liked him. I know that he had some financial difficulties a while back and was getting back on his feet. Shame. I really liked his style.

              A charismatic and entertaining guy. Such sad news. R.I.P.

                Indeed, a very entertaining TV Chef, with more appeal than the likes of JO.

                I just hope that if they cremate him, the public are advised to stand well back.
                Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                  Apparently he bought a round that cost £ 35,000, and was subsequently made bankrupt.

                  I didn't think they sold alcohol in Wembley stadium.

                    Was listening to an obituary about him last night on radio 4, the guy was awesome.

                    He called Gordon Ramsey a *****. Then when asked why the fell out with his producer he answered " because he was being a *****". He was then asked how they managed to patch things up, "He appologised for being a *****."

                      Looks like he died during or shortly after watching the documentary Keith Floyd died hours after lunch to celebrate cancer all-clear. After having said he felt better than he had for years.

                      ...had settled down on the sofa to watch a Channel 4 documentary about his 25 years in the public eye when he suffered the heart attack and lost consciousness.
