MEATBALLS - a friend indeed.


John Henshaw played one of my favourite characters in this film. He was the magnificent 'Meatballs', a Mancunian postman. In Meatballs you couldn't ask for a sounder bloke and a truer friend.
His selection of books was brilliant ("Psychos...They don't give a *f@@k") and his 'positive realisations' scene was a joy to behold.
Plus, if you need a pal to decorate a house, he's your man.

And now, coincidently, John is doing brilliant ads for the Post Office. Nice one John!

Yep I enjoyed every second he was on screen.

Watch him in Loach's ANGEL'S SHARE. He's a true friend and inspiration to a diverse group.
Terrific film as well as ERIC.
