I'm just in from watching the Super Bowl. I'm 5 minutes into Capote. He was the greatest. Hands down.
One of my favourite actors of all time. Up there with the greats of our generation. Very sad news. Only watched his latest work the other day in the Hunger Games Catching Fire. Absolutely wonderful actor. Just shows the crippling mental hold addiction has on people.
Stu, tried to PM you there but your inbox is full.
A few of us over on Krank.ie are doing something on PSH.
Delete some messages or PM me your email. Cheers.
The way people are talking about him, someone should double check PSH is actually dead, and not just acting really convincingly.
A couple not covered:
Tony Hateley, one of the leading Liverpool players during the late 1960s. Trouble is he was a big bustling centre-forward which encouraged the "hump it up to him" philosophy which wasn't the Liverpool way and he was eventually sold to Coventry. There's an apocryphal story that he was knocked out and the physio said to Shankly "he doesn't know who he is" to which Shankly replied "telll him he's Pele".
Actor Maximillian Schell who appeared in many films as a German soldier, including a Bridge too Far, which is ironic since his family had to flee the Nazis.

A few of us over on Krank collaborated for a PSH tribute.

Hey Bonnie, I started working on a piece but I've had a crazy week at work and just couldn't find the time but I'd like to finish it if that's okay? Am working on The Talented Mr. Ripley as it first really opened my eyes to his ability. He stole the show.Quote:

Eh, if your idea of getting bites is saying someone has died who hasn't, then I think you need to work on your sense of humour...

You should have just said "oops wrong pic" mate - your backtracking is a bit weird.Quote:

I assumed it was this Maicon when I read the post, and felt it was kind of fair to correct that -
It just wasn't as funny as I thought. Oh well, we move on. Sorry for any offence caused Stu.Quote:

Anyways, back on topic - Seán Potts, founder member of the Chieftains.
Superquinn brand name. As of today no more.

Not really. The Superquinn sausage is a thing of wonder.
Would be interesting to see a Pepsi/Coke style Superquinn sausage taste test thing.
Just popping up in the Football Feeds forum - Richard Moller Nielsen, who coached Denmark to Euro 92 triumph (and also the Confederations Cup in 1995).
Oatfield sweet factory building in Letterkenny demolishing started today. Many folk here have tasted an emerald or two growing up. It's the one part of Letterkenny everyone recognises, and it's soon going to the ground. A very sad day here.
Sid Caesar, comic great, passed on Wednesday.

Ralph Waite
…otherwise known as John Boy's father in The Waltons.
As some friends have said in tribute:
A remarkable man as his table was always full of lavish food in Depression era. America and the Waltons never seemed to lack for anything.
God be with the days. Decency everywhere, The Waltons never once, to my knowledge, had a rave party. Ralph held it all together and never once was referred to as a hero dad.
You could tune in at any time and be reasonably certain that there would be no discussion about water rates, house rates,GSOC, PMDS, gay weddings ,developers, celeb chefs, thongs or wiki leaks.
So for the last time
Good night Mary Ellen, good night John Boy and
….good night Dad.
Interestingly, Coke always lose blind taste tests. The theory is that Pepsi is slightly sweeter, so people like to sip it, but find a whole can or whatever a bit much.Quote:

There goes the proposed Ghostbusters III anyway.
That's awfully sad news.
