Can't believe he's gone!! And no mention on the news tonight how he passed. Such a shame.
I can't believe it either, I bawled when I saw this thread this morning... and then phoned my Auntie. We used to sit in her lounge and smoke and play Yahtzee while endless Young Ones episodes played in the background. We would quote them ALL of the time, it used to drive people batsh1t to be around us.
After watching Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, I named (my best friend) my kitten Mr. Jolly... he was with me for nearly 16 years and when he was lying in my arms dying, the vet asked me if he was named after the movie.... I cried and said yes, and we talked about Rik and the others.. and we sang a bit of "It's Not Unusual"...
And we quoted the line... "Just because my name is Mr. Jolly, doesn't mean I have to be f'kn jolly all of the time..." (which came up once in the vet clinic when my cat had woken up pissed after an op'... long story, very funny and a bit embarrassing.)
I can't believe he is gone... Rik and Viv and Neal and Nigel and CLIFF RICHARD! *sigh* I am so sad...
