My Uncle Tony was in Kelly's Heros. He was a Property Master for Pinewood Studios, and in the film drives Carol O'conners jeep into town at the end. He also worked on Pink Floyds "The Wall", and American Werewolf in London, and all the early Pink Panther films. He died on the set of the last one made using Peter Sellers' outakes.
Cheers!
Pinewood studios was awesome for its' creativity and choice of films they made. I gotta get my DVD of Kellys out and check who's driving General'Archie Bunker' in the jeep as they enter that little French town.
Did he get to party hard with the Floyds? I got to beat drums on stage once, setting up with the roadies for AC/DC; or was it the original Black Sabbath... crap. I was too wasted to remember all of it back then. But it would have been awesome if it was Pink Floyd.
The film, not the album. In the film, when Geldof, or should I say Sir Bob Geldof, calls the States, the number plate on the phone was my Uncles. It seems the producer was fanatical about all the props being real, and when the prop phone didn't have a number on it, my Uncle called my Aunt and had her bring the number plate from their phone to the set. They had to get the number changed within two weeks of the film coming out due to the tremendous amount of calls they received. When I lived in England in my 20's, Donald Sutherland was giving a talk at the Royal Theater, so my Aunt, her three sons, and I went. Afterwards we went out with Donald for some bevys, (BEERS), and my Aunt got mad at him, because he wouldn't let her buy a round. Great times those!
SHIT!!!! Who is responsible for the hijacking this time? GB is this payback?
Cheers!
Ha! I would Trash, but that would just be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway. Stop reusing pictures, when all know that you're not original, you don't have to prove it to me buddy.

Appletini? Is that some kind of Homo-erotica slang? What hotdog and what hallway? Are you ALWAYS drunk? Maybe you'd better go lay down 'till the ludes wear off.
I'm not that drunk.....seriously, today was my rest day. I'm sorry, I know you like a good Mangotini more. And dude, 'ludes are SOOOOOO '70's, today it's all Aderol and Zoloft. Not that I would know.
Ludes doesn't sound as funny as "Mandys". Now there's a real throwback to the 70's. 1 Mandrex, 2 beers, and as Dandy Don says, " Turn out the lights, the Party's over!
Cheers!
ok we broke a record with 6 post no hijacking...this one was like hijacked by the second post. I think that may be a record too. And GB what the F is with the fruity Martini like things....Like it should be a proper Martini or nothing. All the fruity drinks will make the boys shrink.
I was making fun of Trash's feminine characteristics, obviously the sarcasm was lost. I will take a dry vodka martini though....

Good work on the apeture keeping the light from your baldness from over exposing, or is just a polarized lens?

Hey, I saw Telly S. climb up in a hayloft pretty easily in 'Kellys Hero's.
As for bald heros, why not compare to George Kastanza's shiny noggin'?
