TLW Deathpool 2024

[Trumo]

Sad loss that as his name is pure nostalgia. Loved him at Italia 90. Had never heard of him before that, like with practically everyone else in that side. Definitely a case of shining brightly for the briefest of periods because he was never as good again, especially when he started re-growing his hair.

[YorkshireRed]

Another tough one. I loved the unmentionable the most between circa 1979 and the 1990 World Cup. For all sorts of reasons, Liverpool apart, it wasn’t quite the same after that. 
 

RIP Toto. Thanks for the memories, brief though they were.

Editing the double post this site made me do.

 We're around the same age mate so totally agree on all that. Footy for me was at it's best in that period.

I had no idea he was so old. I liked him on telly as a youngster.

I thought he'd long gone. He was a good presenter, shame that he seems to have been pushed out in the late '80s. Guess he wasn't a nonce so fair game to get rid of.

As a tribute, Keir Starmer snuck a quote from that talking dog into his speech.

McGonagle's last spell was 'Rigor Mortis' then, RIP.

Aaah fuck sake. Got the snooker on now and you don’t half miss the good commentary 

[johnsusername]

Just read about Clive and Maggie. Well that's a bit of a Friday afternoon downer.

Absolutely perfect in... just about everything, really.

 

A Private Function is up there with my all-time favourite films; everything you need to know about the paralysing grip of the British class system is there.  As is a pig with diarrhoea.

 

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, she was a phenomenal actress.

I was about to say that whilst I of course know who she was, I don't think I have ever watched anything she's been in.

 

A quick scan on IMDB and I was wrong,  as I've seen Sister Act, didn't realise she was in that.

[Jairzinho]

Sister Act, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (both, I think), Quartet, Tea with Mussolini, The Lady in the Van, Hook, A Private Function.

 

A bit typecast, obviously, but she was the best in the business at that role.

Wow.

 

You need to watch...

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie 

Murder By Death 

A Private Function 

California Suite

Talking Heads

Hook

The Lady in the Van 

 

... and some wizard stuff, if you like.

Maggie Smith is fucking brilliant in everything I've ever seen her in, but in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie she is absolutely out of this world. A performance never bettered, equalled perhaps on occasions, but never bettered.

And overall a great film that everyone who loves film should watch.

It's the accent, she makes 'sex' sound like the things they bring coal in.

 

 

 

And yes I have nicked that.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie. (Dead, dead, dead).

Love how they've used a picture where it looks like he's just found out.
