A very under-rated actor in my humble opinion. Recently saw him in Inception when he appropriately played an old man on his death bed. He was great too in Brassed Off if my memory serves me right.

Fortunately he wasn't in the Age of Ignorant. Give it a miss eh pet? I was merely commenting upon my fond memories of Pete in that particular role.

He was in the Age of Stupid, it was an excellent film, if you missed it then you missed out.

Get over yourself.

Not sure why you seem to be trying to antagonise people, but it's a little early in the year for this.

Oooh er, you chappies have very large egos, why on earth would I want to antagonise you?:confused: 100 lines for Squirty, who has an 'individual' sense of humour which upsets people:


I will not be antagonistic this early in the year
I will not be antagonistic this early in the year
I will not be antagonistic this early in the year
etc

Caught a bit of it a while back, but haven't seen it all the way through.

Basically for tree-huggers............

I'll never forget him in 'The Usual Suspects'.

If you had woken up to the fact that there is actually a film called The Age Of Stupid, you wouldn't have had all this needless stress..........

I am aware of that...it was the "Get over yourself." comment I was referring to.

Anyway, go and see it - or at least watch the trailer.

It's the menopause, sometimes I can't help myself, my alter ego Gloria Sclaws takes over.

Will try to behave as far as the hormones will allow.

yes, I thought the menopause was the rare problem that use to happen on my old sony walkman whereby when I pressed the pause button I could still hear music in one of the ear phones.

Yes,absolu,in fact it wasn't that long ago Commander & I were discussing his performance as GC in a thread on here.

I agree with Northernlad, more reverence should have been observed.

I did look in the belfry. Didn't realize you were having a roof-top knees up with Bert and the bird-lady.

You are, indeed, shagging a turnip...

What a coincidence..I got lovely karma from a member recently:

'You're bat-shit crazy, but I like you.'


Guess I'm in the right adobe then...

Saw him in The Town the other night on Etihad--as a gangster florist, which has got to be a weird profession. He was menacing.
