    He started now he's finished

    Just noticed the post a few above about the actor who played Raymond's father in Everyone Loves Raymond. Only got in to them recently - very good comedy.

    . . . David Ervine.
    After turning his back on violence (he served time for possession of explosives) he played a key role in the Good Friday Agreement.
    Apparently a man with a brilliant sense of humour, he learned enough Irish while at Long Kesh to confuse republican prisoners by shouting commands in Irish from the loyalist section of the prison.
    After emerging as a voice representing working class Protestants in the North, he built links with the British Labour Party, addressing their 1994 annual conference with the words “I don’t want to wake up every morning and ask myself am I British or Irish? I want to think ‘Am I late for work?’.”
    Almost as if playing one last joke on us all, his death was announced at the beginning of the RTE 9.00pm news on Sunday January 7th, only to be replaced some minutes later with the news that he was still with us!
    David Ervine died on January 8th 2007 following a heart attack and a stroke the previous day. He was 53.

    1) Magnus Magnusson RIP comsummate broadcaster and programme maker.
    2) David Ervine RIP. David's loss will be deeply felt in the North as he was a rare voice of reason. He had in the past walked the walk, so when he talked the talk it gave him a credibility across the spectrum. Highly respected all over the island,we'll not see his like again!

    I was under the impression that the Shinners decomissioned their minds sometime in the early 70's.

    I think it was I dream of Genie. Had some terrible tat tv movies but as a young teen I found his books intriguing. Him, Jeffery Archer and guy who wrote murder mysteries set in horse racing (cant think of his feckin name) made me want to live up to my birth right and become a detective!!

    I remember in my school if you hadn't the watched new episode of Hart to Hart you were considered an outcast, it's amazing any of us turned out straight when you think about it
