Moss Keane Irish Rugby legend. Seems quiet young too. A huge figure in the 70's / 80's in Ireland and the Lions also. Played in the Musnter defeat of the All Blacks at Thomond in 78'.

He was voted the 9th best tv dad of all time. I wonder who came first? Homer Simpson?

I hope he had good hearing as that instruction was open to misinterpretationQuote:

His partner, Jack Lord (Detective Steve McGarrett) went to the Police Station in the sky 12 years ago.
Probably the most memorable theme song of any police show.
As TV themes go, it's a toss up with me between Hawaii-Five O and The Rockford files, which were both Steven Cannell shows, which I guess is apropos for this thread.Quote:

Actress Jill Clayburgh

Loved her in dirty sexy money. R.I.P.
Ingrid Pitt star of such films as The Vampire Lovers.

Very sorry to hear that. Met her, and her husband about five years ago - he is a very patient man. She was a little bit of a loopy diva, but then, given her experiences in Nazi concentration camps, you couldn't blame her. And she was, it must be said, a very nice diva, with loads of time for her fans and admirers.
Sad news. Surely, though, she should be most remembered for playing Heidi, the buxom barmaid/MI6 operative/nifty shot with a sten gun in one of the best war movies ever, Where Eagles Dare?!
A young me was very taken with her in that film. :)
Should in all likelihood be on one of the stations over the holiday period, it usually is, will be watching again to say farewell then... RIP Heidi.

Hmmm, did you ever count the number of Germans killed in that movie for the loss of no Allied soldiers! If reality had been like that, the war would have been over by 1940 ;)Quote:

Ha, yeah that's true enough, though there were the two group members bumped off by the double agents at the start, the three double agents themselves later on, and Col Turner at the end, although only one of the 6 was killed by a German hand.
Certainly not very realistic, a few glaring historical inaccuracies too, but still a classic. Clint Eastwood at his taciturn best, Richard Burton being Burton, a bus chase in the snow, more boobytraps than you can shake a stick at, "Broadsword calling Danny Boy!", it's all there! :D
I must keep a look out for the Vampire Lovers though, for old times' sake.
