Five years already.

Ade Edmondson's words still put a lump in my throat.

"There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard."

@Sparklingbrook best eulogy ever and not put on just real friendship.

Sparklingbrook · 10/06/2019 16:55

Yes and I loved that it was all Ade said about it.
