I didn't realise he had played for City before he played for United, so when he left United for City it was actually his second stint there

Were the bobblehead figures inspired by the Andre the Giant incident as posted by @jcdenton08 above or was Andre the Giant mistaking the real Bob Uecker for one of the Bob Uecker bobblehead figures?

Would he have known that though when he scored the goal? His reaction suggested he didn't. He doesn't actually clarify it in this clip but he does reveal that it was his last ever kick of a ball in league football which I wasn't aware of....

Enchanted April appears to share a few similar themes with another of Dame Joan's films, "Tea with Mussolini"... a group of English women in Italy, between WW1 and WW2.

Ive never heard of him myself, but I'm sure there will be many on NSC who have and will appreciate this opportunity to post their personal tributes and recollections of Bob.

If you're interested the full movie of "The Entertainer", the 1960 film starring Larry and Joan is available here (you have to ignore the Spanish subtitles).....

I've no idea. She was only 95 so her death was something of a shock to me too.

Your list hasn't aged well. First James Earl Jones and now Dame Joan. Gene Hackman must be quaking in his boots.

Apologies to @Mustafa II as he has probably never heard of her, but others may be interested to note the passing of Dame Joan Plowright, who as well as her many acting achievements was also a former Brighton resident when she lived with her husband, the distinguished actor Lord Laurence Olivier...

Ringo seems to be quite popular with other musicians and had a close friendship with Marc Bolan. He directed the 1972 movie Born to Boogie which featured live concert footage of Bolan. Here's Ringo jamming with Bolan and Elton John on Bolan's "Children of the Revolution"....

I had the Live in New York album and near the end of "The Illinois Enema Bandit" FZ paused the song and announced, " This is for Roy Estrada wherever he is", and then he continued with... "Wanna wanna wan an enema, en- enema". This always confused me at the time as I couldn't work out why Frank...

Most songs by Yes have nonsensical lyrics

He also wrote the music for Eraserhead. His work as a musician isn't as well known as his film work, and unsurprisingly it also has a uniquely Lynchian quality about it ....

"Unbelievable" I watched this a few years ago on Netflix and didn't realise it was still on there. It left a lasting impression. This is really good and quite harrowing, based on real events about a victim of rape. The title tells you what she had to endure following her experience....

Not directly because as you say I don't really have an argument, but indirectly I do drop subtle digs by complaining to Mr lack of self awareness about our 6 car neighbours on the other side about why they need so many cars and their lack of consideration when two are surplus to requirements. He...

Yes, that's one of my parking gripes too. I always make sure I park right up to the end line of a bay.

It was very accommodating of your father to act as your chauffer in those particular circumstances. Did he wait patiently and discreetly in the driver's seat until you were both finished or did you ask him to go out for a quick stroll and a fag....or didn't he smoke?

Not you then.... I have a recording of Blues Jim on cassette singing and playing guitar and also piano but currently nothing to play it on. He was a good boogie woogie piano player.

On one side we have a couple who have a total of 4 cars. I've no idea why as they could quite easily cope with just two and one of them the man barely uses and appears to have just for show. Without any apparent sense of self awareness he often comments how parking has become a problem in our...
