The Goonies was a great film, but that stuff was a bit fattist, like.

Yes, and perhaps racist, and sexist. Like kids are.

Kids are idiots.

And adults.

Kids really are idiots. Except mine. Except when they're covering my sofa in fucking crumbs because they don't understand the diameter of plates.

Russell is still totally like that. You can tell where at a restaurant table he's say because of the perfectly round FOOD HALO left afterwards. It's why he's so lanky. Only 15% of any given meal ends up bro v injested. The rest goes to the table/floor/round his mouth/in his lap.

Aww, that's a shame. He lived locally, always seemed like a pleasant, decent sort of bloke.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25591

He and Orville were on the radio today with their single.

Orville sings: 'I wish I had, a mum and a dad, but I don't'.

I blinked hard because we were pulling up to work and man our car park is dusty.

Charles Kennedy

Trousers · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 3073

I'm not really keen on the term "conviction politician" as surely they should all be fucking working towards their convictions but I would definitely classify Charles Kennedy as such. I've got his autobiography and he just seemed absolutely decent and what you want your politicians to be - passionate about doing what's right.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Jun 02, 2015 7:57

And dead, which is what I’d like a lot of them to be.

Cavey · **Posted:** Tue Jun 02, 2015 8:12

Absolutely gutted. Charles Kennedy was a kind, eloquent, funny, honest but above all gifted politician, who will be sorely missed. Just heard his Commons speech on Iraq; brave and entirely correct.

RIP man, respect.

Suicide/drinking to death, then.

Decent bloke and politician for sure, but clearly had demons that were never exorcised, and losing his seat will have finished him off.

Little known fact (or perhaps not but it was news to me)...when Ian Fleming was asked to sketch what he thought James Bond actually looked like, he basically drew a young Christopher Lee (they were distant cousins and may have known each other during the war through the Intelligence Service).

Also...

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Jun 11, 2015 14:12

His mother married Fleming's uncle. I'm not sure how that relates them.

Morte · **Posted:** Thu Jun 11, 2015 14:42

It was stated as "distant"

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Jun 11, 2015 15:18

No, sorry, I wasn't disagreeing, I was saying that they are related, but I don't know what you'd call it. Beside "distant".

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25591

I heard in the office (though haven't looked online to confirm it) that Ron Moody may have died, too.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25591

What a shame he was great actor, like all the "big films" he was in, but always remember the hammer stuff as well!

The American Dream Dusty Rhodes has passed away today too. Real shame.

By all accounts it was only in later life that Lee ever earned any serious cash. I always thought he was like a mega-star in his early years and segued effortlessly into being a sort of senior statesman character.

Apparently for one of the Dracula films which earned £28M at the box office, he was paid £750 (!).

The best thing I've ever seen him in is The Wicker Man, which I rewatched fairly recently and remains an incredibly good, haunting film. (Although I was a bit miffed to learn that they used a bottom double for Britt Ekland's naked dancing scene.)

The Wicker Man scared me shitless when I was a kid. Woodward was good in that too !

Yes did the end credit music for Homeworld, game trivia fans.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

And along with many lyrics by Jon Anderson, no one knows what it's about.

'The 2015 released "Remastered Edition" doesn't contain the end-track by Yes due to licensing problems. Sounds typical of Yes, considering the contractual shenanigans they've been through, over their long history.
