Remembering Derek Nimmo

An example of a now extinct English species
remembered for his comedic upper class
"silly ass" clerical roles
as stuttering and gangly vicars

        Nimmo - with his bizarre health tonics
        Nimmo - his dinosaur went missing
        Nimmo - Just a Minute, Just a Minute
        Nimmo - worked in a paint factory

He maintained a vast and hugely expensive wine cellar
stated opposition to women members
picked a sack of garlic
played Bingo Little
piloted light aircraft
despised vulgarity

        Nimmo - formed roller-skating act with wife
        Nimmo - in his 1937 Buick
        Nimmo - Oh Brother! Oh Father!
        Nimmo - left treasures to love child 

A Quarry man and part time punk
collector of 17th and 18th century walnut furniture
Nimmo, the bon viveur and amorous prawn
