Spookily enough the night before I had mentioned to work colleagues about bumping into him in M&S in Stirling of all places a good number of years ago. :bitchy:Quote:

For those interested, Tom Robinson on 6 Music tomorrow is doing a tribute show for Shane. His one on Sinead was wonderful, so I'm expecting the same :cb

Is it bad taste to say he's gone now?Quote:

My heart sank when I heard this. A principled man, a poet and great writer. Turned down an OBE, "I have been fighting against empire all my life, why would I accept an honour that puts that word with my name?"Quote:

He couldn't read or right when he produced his first book, a complete genius went onto produced magic. I try not to be political in every thread but it's fitting for him. A child of immigrants talking about his love for the local area and the history of his club, its what makes Britain great. F the tories who want to villainize these people striving for a better life.
Ryan O'Neal and daughter were unforgettable in Paper Moon, a very stylish and poignant comedy.
They both had big drug problems later on. I think he was a bit lazy as an actor and relied on his looks too much.
