bad news re Bill...great talent, nice bloke and star booze artist as well...when he worked in Brisbane he used to go to my local - the Brunswick in New Farm regularly drink the rest of us under the table when he was in the mood

Many people wouldn't consider the Bruns to be in New Farm. At least most of the snobs that now live there.

Ive always enjoyed Bill's acting ...but he seems like a bit of a tosser in his interviews

by horace Wed 18 May 2011, 06:01

that's coz he's a good old red embee

by embee Wed 18 May 2011, 06:05

soon to be a good one ...if the reports are correct

Good luck to the quintessential Aussie actor. Hope he battles on for a while yet. But doesn't sound real good.

Why is it always Bill Hunter or Seve Ballasteros? Why isn't it ever Mel Gibson or Nick Faldo?

by embee Thu 19 May 2011, 14:42

...or Bruce Francis

What's that saying about a pleasure delayed?

Don't mention him on this thread, please. You know the effect it has, and none of us want that.

Well Dick Francis went the other day.

That's because nobody picked him

I was going to say he fell at the last hurdle...But I won't.

uh-uh

Did he need pacing?

Other than a 22 year old Oklahoma University Line-backer dropping dead (to continue the Zog CDL curse on American footballers), once again, nobody of note or even remotely close to any of our nominees karked it in the past 24 hours.

Although Arnie Schwarzenegger's marriage imploded under the weight of a mountain of paternity stories.

my theory is that death is always scared of some people...Franco, Gibson, ljh, Thatcher, Faldo et al are not easily taken by death

by skully Thu 19 May 2011, 23:31

Castro? Gaddafi?

by horace Thu 19 May 2011, 23:34

no doubt re gadfly...castro is a more complex case...let me ponder his inclusion while smoking a decent havana

indeed skullywag

by skully Thu 19 May 2011, 23:53

Kim Jong-il? George W Bush?

by horace Fri 20 May 2011, 03:49

death would be frightened by both those despotic numbskulls

by Bradman Fri 20 May 2011, 03:54

Twas definately a bad day for the world when Billy Graham talked him into giving up the whisky and cocaine.

by horace Fri 20 May 2011, 03:58

but the damage was clearly done to the numbskulls brain

he had fried almost as many brain cells as he subsequently fried Afro Americans in his spell as Governor

by Bradman Fri 20 May 2011, 04:04

Indeed. Not his Daddy or Grandaddy's bootlaces. i suspect even without the booze and drugs.
