The R.I.P. Thread

[Keef]

Amalgamated with the Royal Welch regiment in 1969 to become the royal welsh regiment, HQ in Brecon hence the museum, if you want to be pedantic about it.

24th Regiment of Foot.

I know the Khyber pass was defended by the Third Foot and Mouth regiment,

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They filmed that on Hardknott pass in the Lake District. Positively Himalayan

 

[Keef]

Jean Boht actress 91, best known for playing ma Boswell in bread, dies about a month or so after her husband the composer Karl Jenkins

For the younger readers, Bread was the 80's version of forum favourite Mrs Browns Boys. Just replace an Irish family with Liverpudlians.

Not sure about this, it was a long time ago but dont remember it being that bad. Mrs Brown's Boys however is appalling.

Joey Boswell was quite the 80s style icon. The original guy (who went on to write and direct Sliding Doors), not the fake one later on. Greetings.

I don't think I'd ever seek out a repeat by choice but it wouldn't be in "where the fuck is the remote" territory like if Mrs Brown's Boys rears its grotesque head.

 

[Keef]

Just looked him up as I thought he was always dressed like 68 comeback Elvis in leather jumpsuits, wasn’t far out, leather trousers and a big leather jackets like you see on Albanians or Serbs.
Never knew his dad was the man who made public the Profumo scandal

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

68 comeback Elvis is Kirk St Moritz in Dear John

 

[Lupo]

One of the Avelines (think there were 2) was one of the several Mrs Sean Beans at one point

 

[Tony Towner]

It was the second one, recently left Corrie

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

One of the Avelines (can't remember which one) was a shocking actress. Singing every single line.

I remember the Adrian actor getting ideas miles above his station and having a proper hissy fit that the BBC refused to commission an Adrian spin-off when the original series finished No-one was going to watch that, buddy boy.

Barry's Mrs in Auf Wiedersehen Pet?

So she was!

I CAN NOT fathom what it is about MBB that people find funny/entertaining.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

@darlowolf64 once seriously recommended it to me. He thinks I've forgotten but I haven't. You never know when you'll need leverage like that.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Is that because he pretends to be Irish?

Some people find the "mistakes" they make hilarious, it's when the supporting cast member breaks out in uncontrollable giggles - in every single episode more than once. In the same way that Phil and Holly were "still drunk" after the NTA awards.

I try not to judge people, but if someone likes MBB I tend to think they're idiots, until proven otherwise.

I hope I'll never judge people on their taste in comedy/music/TV/film, obviously taking the piss is fair game.

Same, but for MBB i make an exception.
