George Melly - surrealist, jazz musician, critic, comedian and generally liver of life to the full - died yesterday. A wonderful man. There is an obit on the BBC site here.

The best obituary I've heard so far, from an email to PM on radio 4: "When he played at my university he drank a whole bottle of whisky on stage, sang six songs clutching the microphone stand like a lifebelt and still managed to cop off with one of my friends!"
