Obviously modest forbade me from making such a suggestion for the lead role, ie me.

But if one of the cast is coming up with intelligent and appropriate casting suggestions then I must take them on board.

You'll find me a director who takes notice of the 'talent'.


I'll get my people to contact his.

Hmm PG. I'm sure it's not your intention, but the cinema going public might think this was one of those 'specialist' films. You know the sort of thing one used to go and see in Soho cinemas in one's youth.

Usually had a supporting csrtoon. Usually Fritz The Cat.


I like the use of the modern vernacular though. The man losing his wallet was being 'flakey', wasn't he?

We might wring a few quid out of some gullible teenagers.

Keep this up PG and an assistant associate executive producer's role could be yours.

why spadetownboy you charmer you,




but isn't that the new film "In Bruges" ?


In Bruges - Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson


but back on topic (even tho it's in The Lounge) fair play to wallet. Being "upstanding citizens" isn't a Bad Thing, STB

Lady MacGabhann has "lost" her wallet/purse on more than one occassion - upstanding citizens have been very helpful to her

Sorry to say Giggi but Clooney's turned out To be something of a broken reed.

He was sent an outline of the script and offered the lead part, ie me.

Things seemed to be progressing nicely until we started talking costume and character.

Clooney's people said he would not consider wearing a bald wig and putting on four stone for the part. Furthermore he would not be shown on screen sitting round the house in a bath robe that made him look like a badly wrapped bag of chips.

I begged them to consider the 'method'. What of Stanislavsky? I entreated, but to no avail.

If only dear Roy Kinnear were still with us, I'm sure he'd have jumped at the chance.


Anyway never say die, as we can see from above STB and SeanMG are mad keen on doing it.

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
