RIP Rik Mayall

'Well if you had the common decency, to go out and get yourself a proper job, and not hang around the flat all day like some vast slug, then perhaps I would have the opportunity to take my top off and wash it without the risk of you seeing my nipples!'

Rik was one of a kind. I grew up watching his and Ade's violently hilarious antics in Bottom. RIP

More on Rik Mayall:

Rik Mayall's widow Barbara has paid tribute to her husband who died on Monday.

Here is her statement in full:

"We now know that our darling Rik suffered an 'acute cardiac event' at our home around midday on June 9th.

"He had just returned from his usual run and many people had seen him that morning.

"I, Rosie, Sid, Bonnie and the many in our extended family who have received the thousands and thousands of messages of condolence from all over the UK and beyond these shores would like to say thank you to each and every one of you for your heartfelt love and support.

"I would also like to thank the press for their discretion at this time and for all the wonderful coverage that you have given Rik. It would have made him very happy.

"We always knew that Rik was well loved but we are all overwhelmed by so many joining us in our grief.

"I am sure that you all know Rik's response would be something along the lines of .....' well thanks very much all of you ............. now f*** off!!!!"'

I actually saw Drop Dead Fred in the theater. It was stupid, but he was really funny in it.
