white_dragon I have a similar experience. My dad took me to see Butch and Sundance, not the first film he took me to . That was guns of navarone. Probably my favourite actor of all time. RIP Robert Redford
space The first film my Dad took me to was The Jungle Book, being screened at the Sergeants Mess at RAF Scampton. Fuck knows how old I was. 5 maybe?
Foxy_Dread Me and my dad never went to the pictures. I never thought about it until now. My mum never saw me play football, mums didn't watch their kids play football back in the 70s. Not in Northowram they didn't.
Djpekingman Brett James. Apparently an american, grammy winning singer songwriter, best known for writing the Carrie Underwood song “Jesus, Take the Wheel”. All you need to know really. No doubt the MAGA hoards will be pretending to be mourning and curtailing free speech some more in the name of jesus.
king_of_the_slums Keith McIvor (JD Twitch), one half of Optimo, Glasgow DJ, producer, all round good egg. File right next to Weatherall. Brain Tumor, mid 57
cordshoes CharlieG Theres a visual gag in there somewhere about all at the funeral watching the curtains close on the coffin and doing the one finger in the air OUT sign.
fulmine My favourite horrible-but-bloody-funny-but-really-not-on-at-all-but-bloody-funny cricket gag was about Boycott hitting his wife 34 times and it taking four hours.
zico Only ever time I saw Dickie was at half time at Oakwell. Drove up NY Eve from South London to watch us lose 4-1, lunchtime KO. I was in their main stand (they really hate us). Dickie came on the pitch at HT because he'd got an OBE or something. He got a good ovation, but our lot started singing his name and he went over to applaud our fans. Their fans were very pissed off, which was nice. RIP.
