15 years ago today.

For the uninitiated, here’s a good place to start catching up:

Wendy Richards is dead as well

Genius, IMO.

The other mechanic I used to work with in the bike shop was a big Bill Hicks fan, we often used to have a CD of him on while we were working away. Unfortunately the sound would sometimes drift upstairs onto the shop floor and one day during one of Bills’ more expletive-laden monologues a customer heard it (and our hysterical laughter) and put a complaint in. 🙁

Think my favourite is the flying saucer one, loads of apopleptic rage on there 🙂 The book containing some of his letters is also very good.

What killed him? the big C?

Pancreatic cancer, I think.

I saw him when he played Oxford. Fan bloody tastic. His stuff on the Iraq War is priceless – who’d have thought it would ever be directly accurate and current again?

Thanks for the laughs Bill.

better place to start

I think you’ve had enough

Tried both starting places, didnt more than half way through either – dull.
