Maybe Murdoch and Trump will attend the funeral...maybe a few women journos too will cover the event to make it's true.

OK, not quite Mugabe but I'll take it.

Rolling Stones' obit on Ailes:

“He is on the short list of people most responsible for modern America’s vicious and bloodthirsty character.

We are a hate-filled, paranoid, untrusting, book-dumb and bilious people whose chief source of recreation is slinging insults and threats at each other online, and we’re that way in large part because of the hyper-divisive media environment he discovered.

Ailes was the Christopher Columbus of hate. When the former daytime TV executive and political strategist looked across the American continent, he saw money laying around in giant piles. He knew all that was needed to pick it up was a) the total abandonment of any sense of decency or civic duty in the news business, and b) the factory-like production of news stories that spoke to Americans’ worst fantasies about each other.”

Thanks Mr K. Here is an interesting Monica Lewinsky article prompted by Ailes death.

Very sad news regarding Nicky Hayden. He will always be the one who broke Rossi's steak when he looked untouchable.

Aye. RIP Nicky.

Reports on the SBM that Roger More is no moore....

by lardbucket Tue 23 May 2017, 14:44

yes, confirmed ... he was often given a hard time over his 'soft' Bond, but I remember enjoying all those films at the time.

by embee Tue 23 May 2017, 15:00

89 ...wow!

by Fred Nerk Tue 23 May 2017, 16:04

Which made him 49 when they shot The Spy Who Loved Me....incredible!

by JGK Tue 23 May 2017, 16:16

Vale Roger.

Moonraker was the first Bond film I ever saw so I have always had a soft spot for him.

by taipan Tue 23 May 2017, 18:20

The first I saw was Thunderball. Can't remember the actor. But was watching The Saint before that. The one thing about Moore was that he essentially played the same part all the time. Still he gave me a lot of enjoyment.

R.I.P.

by lardbucket Tue 23 May 2017, 22:29

Like David Niven and Stuart Wagstaff, he played the perennially urbane, slightly arch, always half-smiling, playboy, gin-and-tonic type ... you just knew that this type had 5 girlfriends but no wife, and that he preferred tennis to cricket. Royal tennis if available.

by Big Dog Tue 23 May 2017, 22:30

(Sadly) I'm old enough to remember Moore in the Ivanhoe TV series. Always enjoyed his performances. RIP

by horace Tue 23 May 2017, 22:48

"Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe" band

I can remember the start of the Ivanhoe with Moore riding on his horse and the theme song beginning. I usually changed channels or went for a kick of the footy.

by skully Tue 23 May 2017, 23:39

RIP to the 2nd best Bond.

Bloke on the radio made the point that if the male characters in Bond movies were named along the same guidelines as the females, Roger Moore could have played himself.

Given the 'Pussy Galore' standard, he would have been Miles Long.

Fleming always wanted Niven for the role
