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.

    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
