Well done to The Fort's Andy Martin who won The SHFLtv Goal Of The Season for his screamer against Buckie Thistle! This caps a magnificent season for The Fort captain who also won The Clubman Of The Year as well as The Fort's Player Of The Year award!

The England team went to visit a favela in Brazil this morning: "It's good to put a smile to the faces of people with no hope, constantly struggling and facing the impossible." said Jose aged 6

Reminds me of my favourite paragraph in, well, anything really. From the Telegraph obit of Joan Wyndham "An aspiring actress, heroic drinker, jitterbugger and Benzedrine-fuelled bohemian, she enjoyed an outrageous reputation; later she held court in "Swinging London", where her circle included jobbing rent boys, April Ashley, Michael Foot, Christine Keeler ("rabbity teeth"), assorted acid-trippers and Jeremy Beadle"

I will never forget Rik reading George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl for the BBC's Jackonary. An absolute classic in how to convey a fantastic story! RIP.

So Gary and his eyes have parted comp-aaan-eeeeee.

Not quite.

Funniest sentence I have read on Wikipedia in a while: http://en.wikipedia....aven#Later_life

Well worth a look. (From the 'Bottom' live show)

We are all gutted and shocked by the death of Rik Mayall, and you are intruding on our grief. So fuck off.

Well as Ritchie Rich said himself "Keats, he suffered. Shelley, she suffered, Michael Barrymore?" Eddie Catflap: "We all suffered..."

Can it really be true that he was only in two episodes of Blackadder? That really says a lot about his presence.

Yeah, like total bummer. Haven't you heard Rick is dead, the people's poet is dead. Do you understand nothing? How can Rik be dead when we still have his poems? This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, "but why are the kids crying?" and the kids will say ......

Shame we can't swap him for Rik Mayall.

Okay that's enough mocking for now. Has anyone here seen the obscure 1986 parody film Whoops Apocalypse? (and yes I know it was originally a satire on Channel 4, don't give me shit about it) Rik Mayall played an SAS commander who leads a raid on It's possibly his most unhinged role ever outside of the likes of Bottom. Here's the great scene. Although it's a really very amusing film, even if a little dated (obviously), and this is from near the end of the film so if you want the full experience don't watch this clip first. Oh and also an extremely funny Peter Cook plays a loony British PM. It's worth watching with a few drinks.

But less romantic.

Which one is that again? I always get my........ comedians..... mixed up.

And his name's Bruce! Excellent
