Withnail and FB

Post by Rum » Sun Aug 14, 2016 3:07 pm

Facebook has a Withnail and I appreciation group. Considering it is the best film ever made I think that this alone makes FB worthwhile!

Mrs. Lak went to school with Richard E. Grant, though he was a few years ahead of her. He grew up in Swaziland, local legend around those parts.

Grant should have been a massive star instead of a workaday actor.

I went to school with a kid called David. Well, actually there were a few Davids, and some other names too.

Oh yeah, quite a few of the Davids I know go by Dave, though one of them prefers Jonesy.

Fascinatingly my son is called David. I don't actually know anyone with the surname of Withnail however.

I also find myself wondering what the 'E' stands for.

My eldest son is also called David.

A good, solid name.

Not like "Rainforest", the name given to the firstborn son of one of my hippy friends many, many moons ago...
