It is a little-known fact that Stallone is not the Rocky star's real name. He chose his stage name because he would always back the horse drawn closest to the rail when he went racing.

Good shout from Flower Myth regards Terry-Thomas. Another role that springs to mind for me is John Turturro as Joey Knish in Rounders.

I can do better. Arguably. "When I drink water. I drink water. And when I drink whiskey I drink whiskey." Now you can end the thread.

It's a bold sinful man you are Slippy Blue. And who taught you to be laying patty fingers in the holy waters? Homeric. Michaleen Oge Flynn isn't just the daddy. He's the daddy's daddy. And you from the old country. |

Claude Rains could have won a handful of oscars.

I'm not really sinful although I have made a comedy of errors with bad decisions, that is fair to say in my time. I popped my mates Sister's cherry behind an apple tree at the bottom of his garden when he was having a bbq one Sunday afternoon. Not really proud of that but if it wasn't me it would have been someone else and I got in there first. He didn't speak to me for two months!

Same age, you went to the best rugby school in Ireland Blackrock, me Dulwich College where I was coached by the British Lions forward coach, love women, love a few jars, love horse racing.
You couldn't make it up. |

A generic shout out to the guys who make the stars shine because they themselves as so damned good as the support. I'm thinking about the likes of the recently departed Phillip Seymour Hoffman and many others who may not have had Hollywood looks but could act the pants off the main men who happened to have been blessed with leading man visages.

By:
Maybe I was just too damned principled slippy but several times the cherry was offered for me to bite and I always turned it down. I wouldn't have wanted a rogue like myself to have divested my own sister and I couldn't reconcile that view with my own character flaws when it came to longevity and indeed making it special for the lady concerned who would have been someone else's sister and daughter. Besides the filthy ones more than made up for it.
