    I won't attempt to type for a minute without hesitation, repetition or deviation.

    Freud was the Stephen Fry of his day - only more so.

    He hesitated for the last time 9 days short of his 85th birthday. :(

    Aside from JAM, I loved his Saturday column in the Racing Post.

    From this weeks PopBitch
    Popbitch readers remember Sir Clement

    RIP Sir Clement Freud... as a nation collectively
    sighs, "Why couldn't it have been Matthew?"
    Sir Clement made two unlikely appearances in
    Popbitch over the years. He was once spotted
    by a Popbitch editor at a Sonic Youth gig at
    the Roundhouse. And he once tried it on
    with a reader's wife at a glossy fund-raising
    dinner. Sir Clement suggested that he call
    on the lovely lady at home later, bringing
    with him a vintage port. The lady was in
    her mid 30s, Sir Clement somewhat over 70.

    FYI: An anagram of Sir Clement Freud
    is Flustered Mincer
    :)

    18:30 today

    When Clement Freud died in April 2009, Just A Minute suffered the loss of its longest-serving panellist. For over 20 years, Paul Merton shared a stage with Clement at recordings of the show, and in this special programme he shares his memories of the veteran player and introduces a selection of clips of him in action.
