This is not mine (sadly) - I saw this posted to Facebook along with the following story:

How about this for a one of a kind item of memorabilia from 'Bottom 'the street sign shown in the opening title sequence of every episode.

I've had this incredible cherished piece for decades.

It's currently in my garage in Las Vegas USA!! (I took it out and photographed it on my front lawn today just to show you guys) Many years ago soon after series one first aired me and my mate went and found the sign in Hammersmith then returned in the middle of the night with an angle grinder. Not long after my other mate was working at the BBC on series 2 of Bottom and as a total surprise unknowingly to me he borrowed my sign for the day, took it into BBC Television Centre and showed it to Rik and Ade who where amazed that some nutter (me) had nicked it and both insisted on signing it. I'm sure neither could imagine it would be in Las Vegas one day !!! I had it proudly on display on the wall of my Vegas flat for nearly 20 years and now it's stuck in my garage of my house as it's a bit of a tricky thing to talk the wife into having on the wall of your fancy gaffe. One day it will grace the wall of a future home and one day when I'm really old I'll sell it. It's truly one of a kind and perhaps the ultimate piece of Bottom history to own!

“Don’t you know who I am!?”

“Yep, well, you have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat Uncle Eddie!”

Clip of Rik promoting Drop Dead Fred in 1990, where he mentions a new show he's writing with Ade called 'Bottom' :) His real laugh was fantastic.

I want 1

“Shoot that prawn!”

I don't even know wtf happened in this situation.

Some of these for the England team please! (love from Scotland)

“Hey, hey, hey, hey hey... Speak of the devil!!” 😈

“Despair not!” “Despair what?” “Faint heart ne’er won fair maid.” “You talk an incredible amount of bollocks, don’t you?!”

Look…we haven’t got all night…we’ve got the whole street to do…now i’ve got my tights on, eddies wearing a banana now just give us some cash!

“Right! Lets get on with it. Forty minutes on this and Charles Atlas will be committing suicide.”

Hello, Amal, how's the kebab business?

“Madame Swish. 3:30.”

Best Richie face?

A Stoat just wandered right up to me while at work today.

He definitely helps me forget about the grimness of life. I'll be forever grateful because of him and Ade.

I'm on the brink of sh@gging this barmaid!

“Ah, it’s funnier in the pub.”
