I normally don't post but had to on this one
Sue H
just had to share a priceless success (?).
It is the long lost letter of Rik Mayall, which went unanswered for 5
years. I got it back today. Before I tell you what happened, let me
say that 5 years ago Rik was supposed to have been in Harry Potter. It
started as a rumor and then some sites had it as fact and then some
said he was canned, or that they cut him or that there were "other"
problems. So he never materialized in the film. In truth, the
character he was supposed to be wasn't in the film at all. At the
time, I thought he may have been in cut scenes and wrote awaiting the
DVD or something (forget now) or hoping for an explanation etc. It
never came... till today
Rik signed the photos I sent and wrote on one (it was a dark image)
and he wrote: you can't see Rik's autograph on this because it's too
dark... but the other one is the priceless one.
he wrote: Rik Mayall was not in this Fuc&ing film!! So Fuc* 'em!! (Go
see Bottom instead). LOL I am not taking it badly; on the letter he
apologized for the delay of 5 years and told me I wrote the letter on
his birthday and added "weird..." so he was very nice there. I think
it's hilarious and I hope he realizes it was such a big rumor at the
time and that yes, I did realize he wasn't in it anywhere when I
finally got to see the uncut parts.
