MrDowse Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 "I feel sorry for you, you zeroes. You nobodies. What’s going to live on after you die. I’ll tell you — nothing! That’s what! This house will become a shrine! And punks and skins and Rastas will all gather ’round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader! And all the grownups will say, “But why are the kids crying?’ And the kids will say, ‘Haven’t you heard? Rick is dead! The people’s poet is dead!” Then one particularly sensitive and articulate teenager will say, “Why kids? Do you understand nothing? How can Rick be dead when we still have his poems?!” RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortigan Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It's a sad and genuinely shocking piece of news to hear A man who played a huge part in defining comedy during the 80's and beyond.Someone that,when he was on our screens,always guaranteed us a laugh. A true light has gone out. RIP Rik. "Darling? That's a funny name for a guy.Last person I called darling was pregnant 20 seconds later"!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The Comic Strip Presents 'A Fistful of Travellers Cheques', was probably my favorite thing he made. I still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty922 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 A mate told me today that there are only 12 episodes of The Young Ones. Hardly seems possible as I'm sure I watched this show every week for many years. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
