Nearly made this point re: hating original Ribena - that’s where most of the country’s blackcurrants end up, but last summer I got to take home the last of the crop at a nearby “pick your own” farm so we could make some sweet treats.

Think we also used to have some growing in the garden. Probably one for the feeling old thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 If he was still alive, Rik Mayall would be joining John Cleese on GB News moaning about woke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see an argument for that, but he was such a chaotic guy, I could just as easily have pictured him going even more lefty.

He was well against the EU and was very little England towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Statesman was an attack on Thatcherism of course, but I suspect he would be a bit gammon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with anything Cleese did, although he never did anything, even back then, that would've been considered particularly lefty - from what I remember, he was a member of the Lib Dems for a long time before joining the Greens.

That’s one for the “Things that cheer you up” thread. Although I’m sure they’ll find some roubles down the back of the sofa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
