The great Keith Floyd has sadly passed away aged 65yrs Floyd probably the most famous (or at least best known) chef in the world had been suffering from cancer although he did die from a heart attack
i went to see him 2yrs ago doing a local chat show and realy enjoyed listening to his life story
his cooking was from the heart and even if you did not like him you hd to admire his skills of cooking any food from around the world.
i suppose if he had not enjoyed life to its extreme he would still be here but in his own words
"its my life and i will live it how i want, now give me a cig and a drink"
fantastic character sadly missed!

I hadn't heard. Yes, very sad indeed.

Thanks for letting us know.

The man was a legend ... A very famous quote from the great American author Jack Kerouac ( my favourite ) seems appropriate :

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
