Rip Thread

I’ve heard of him.

 

One of my favourite films he was in was Sneakers with Robert Redford, Dan Ackroyd and the late River Phoenix

 

I’ve heard of him. Had no idea he was black though 94, good innings

 

Nah, just had more interesting things do than watching telly… Sports, documentaries… that’s about all I watch. The odd film when I’m rail roaded by Mrs H.

 

Did Sidney drive the bus in the Italian Job?

 

So he didn’t then

 

Really? Well that bus balancing on the cliff edge looked pretty serious to me... See, I have seen some films. Last one was the latest James Bond- Shite. The one before that was probably T2- Brilliant. And the one before that was probably Dead Mens Shoes- Also brilliant.

Can't be doing with any shite from Hollywood. Except Terminator. That was good 'I need your boots, your clothes and your motorcycle'

 

Nope….

 

You keep saying that. Problem is I’m out too much. No bad thing

 

Was that not one of his mother’s, Mary.

 

Err, yeah. Probably….

 

She was originally a dry stone wall builder, and stop calling me Mary!

 

That was Pam Ayres
I am a dry stone waller,
All day I dry stone wall
Of all apallin' callin's
Dry stone wallin's worst of all

 

Ronnie Spector, pop singer who fronted the Ronettes, with hits including Be My Baby, dies aged 78 of cancer.



They had quite a career and at their peak they toured the US in 1966 as a support act to the Beatles; and the Rolling Stones supported them on a Ronettes tour of the UK!
