Rik Mayall (star of Bottom, The Young Ones, The New Statesman) has passed away at 56. He was also in Blackadder as Lord Flashheart. This screengrab (with Ade Edmonson) really got me.

Well that was unexpected

Bounty Hunter

Such a Legend and a big bit of my comedic memories from my youth

He had a plan and it was as hot as his pants

Ok im looking at 2 laptops . One is with PC World and one is with Harvey Norman. Both around the same price but with Harvey Norman they offer you for extra a product care plan but im not sure if PC World do.

So was wondering have people dealt with either company before etc because i need to get a laptop soon (hate using my mams ha)

Go with Harvey Norman but chance your arm and ask for a discount or something thrown in. Even if its anti virus

have had experience with both. Harvey Norman seem to have a much better choice and seem open to a small bit of haggling over price. Pc world just want you to buy extra insurance and warranty's. Shop around though

I 2nd what Eh i don't know said, Harvey Norman are open to haggling depending on whoever helps ya out when ya don't know what you're looking for, PC World just seem to wanna sell extra insurance & warranty's first, and the laptop 2nd

Even the Official Motorhead Facebook Page acknowledged Rik Mayall's death

RIP Rik Mayall! You will be missed!

He may not have been the most active mod here but yesterday Bombidol disabled his boards.ie account, so its farewell to him from the mods team.

Bombidol was the man initially responsible for getting this very forum set up, so for that, he certainly deserves a fair bit of credit.

Bombidol was way before my time, but whenever I hear Bounty Hunter and long-time members speak of him it's in high regards, especially for getting the PW forum out of the TV section and deservedly in the Sports section. Sad to hear his 12 years on Boards.ie come to an end.

Bombidol was a sound lad - shame to see him go!

I was around in a different guise when Bombidol was active. Best wishes to him.

I just opened this thread to post an RIP about Rik Mayall cos of the threat title, and Bombidol has disappeared? Dang.

I wasn't around when he was really active but we spoke a bit during my time as a mod here and he seemed like a very nice bloke. Best of luck in your future endeavors sir o>

Yea was having a look at Argos aswell last night . Tbh im just stuck cause there are so many different options to get.

Harvey Norman are actually charging €99 for 2 year product cover but dont no about PC World they dont seem to have that option when you looking at each product.

Do people recommend any brand of laptop?

I got a Linovo one last year from HN on someones recommendation. So far its been great, granted I probably dont use it to its full potential, I just download movies and play football manager as well as the network but all run smoothly
