I read with much sadness this morning that Lenny 'Joe' McLeish passed away last night, at 10.56pm.


Lenny found early fame with the BBC during the 1950s in hit shows Don't Tell Mother and Pass The Brush, but it was his work on Bird Watch? for Anglia which made him a household name. . A late move to Hollywood saw him earn the admiration of a whole new generation through a series of road safety commercials and as a body double in Predator II.


Never one to complain and always a fighter, Lenny finally 'passed his last brush' after a long battle with thrush outside the Golden Lion in Dudley last night, surrounded by family and friends.


God Bless.

What its not sad news that I've just heard of Lenny McLean's death, Mick?


You don't want his Family to know that that is your attitude or you might get a visit from Lenny's many bruvvers, if you get my meaning, My Son.::o

You're right M8. "Bob" has taken this particular loss very badly...:(

I don't really think there is any need for that kind of friviolity Young Lady.


Losing Lenny McLeish and being aware of Lenny McLean's death on the same day is not to be mocked....:(

Tone,

You'd better sit down - I've got lots of bad news.


Since Lenny McLean died - nearly ten years ago - lots of other people have too. A busy day ahead for you - and google.


Anyway - this thread is about Lenny McLeish. Please show some respect.



Ps - you did hear about Diana, didn't you?

So no LBD then? With dark glasses and heels?

Surely The Pub was "The Golden Eagle2 not "The Golden Lion"??

I was saying elsewhere Mick that, only last night, we got 9 out of the current "Top 10" threads in The Lounge.


Someone spoilt it by writing something totally inconsequential about some irrelevant Subject otherwise we would have been the first to have had a clean sweep since The Beatles back in '66...

I think that's another way of saying TLS, that if we keep boring everyone else they might give us the Lounge to ourselves and then they'll probably set up a seperate section for serious minded people - hey wait a minute.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
