| John Inman # "Mr Humphries, Are You Free?" - "I'm Free!" Ok, so I have been quite obsessed with the british show Are You Being Served, that aired during the 70s and I love John's character Mr Humphries. I haven't seen anything more from him than that show, but I don't think that matters. I was pretty sad to hear that he died last year from some sort of a desiese  Anyway, here's 2 nice pics of him   I hope people show up to talk about him in here  __________________ Mr Rochester: "Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I had a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly.” | |||

| No, I think only people who have watched Are you being served? knows who he is. Very popular in England and the character Mr Humphries is very popular Watch his video, it's very funny YouTube - My Tribute to John Inman(1935-2007) __________________ Mr Rochester: "Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you.

| 'Are You Being Served" is hilarious tv show and so is Johnathan's character Mr. Humphries. I haven't seen it in a while, so I need to tune back in. The last one I saw was when they had manicans made of him and the older lady (is that Mrs. Slocombe? I can't remember) for the department store. And something happens to his in which he has to stand in for the manacan to fool the boss, and they're trying to undress him and the look on his face is so funny.  __________________ "And I am not in the street, Ya Ferry!!!" | |||

| I always forget the word 'icon'. OMG! The one with his hands on the maneckin's boobs is hilarious, and so is the the one after that with the glasses and flashy suit. Looks like he had some clothing tips from Elton John there! __________________ "And I am not in the street, Ya Ferry!!!" | |||
