Try ' ipconfig /flushdns ' from a command line, then try.

Interestingly, Unite are claiming that the action will lose Optare a minimum of two buses per day production. Not to mention the loss of schedule from delivery drivers respecting the picket line today.

I thought Rik Mayall was an excellent actor/performer.

I wasn't that keen on Bottom (it was alright but well overrated in my view) but I still appreciated Rik Mayall's characteristic sliminess which he brought to many of the characters he portrayed on screen.

Drop Dead Fred would have been horrible without Rik Mayall - he was easily the best thing about that film by a country mile. I actually remember going to see it at the Warner Brothers cinema in Newcastle when it was released in 1991.

I probably liked him best as Alan B'stard in The New Statesman. Whenever I hear of a Tory politician involved in some sort of sleaze scandal an image of Alan B'stard always forms in my mind.

One of the Finest comedians and comedy actors this country has ever produced, probably the best of his generation which is quite a statement to make when we see who he came through with...Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Lenny Henry, French and Saunders, Adrian Edmondson, a group of comedians who took comedy to a new level in the 80's and 90's...

Never watched bottom or the young ones much, but I enjoyed watching him...

He was only 56, no age whatsoever

Quote of the day comes from his former partner-in-crime, Ade Edmundson.

After releasing a short statement reflecting on his time working with Rik Mayall, he concluded these three sentences.

'And now he’s died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard.’

I thought it was a fitting and touching tribute.

...And here's a clip of Rik Mayall as Alan B'stard presenting a party political broadcast. Very funny stuff and probably just as relevant today as it was in 1991!

That is hilarious...

He has been taken too soon
