Bez and Shaun Ryder told the Guardian about being flatmates and it’s the sitcom we never had

The Guardian ran a piece about celebrity flatmates and their experience of living together and the stories told by Bez and Shaun Ryder are a total joy.

You can read the whole thing here, but here’s our favourite bit from Shaun.

‘Living with Bez is like living with a mad dog who chews up your favourite shoes but who you can’t stay mad at for long. I first met him when he came round with a mate we had in common to pick up some gear. We got on like a house on fire. It was love at first sight.

‘Sometimes he’d get up before me and take my clothes, so I’d have to rummage around for something clean to wear. I’d get the clothes back and they’d be full of joint burns. I’d go to get some cornflakes and he would have finished them.’

And from Bez.

‘We were absolutely starving because we didn’t eat for days on end. I remember when we first went to record at Yellow studios, I stole Bernard from New Order’s takeaway from the bin because I was so hungry.

‘We were smelly and hungry most of the time. Shaun’s mum would make us corned beef and tomato butties. Cheese on toast was the most adventurous I ever got in the kitchen. I remember one time, we had that many pots and pans piling up, we had to do the washing up in the bath.’
