Indeed Peter O'Tool played T E Lawrence but Harris played Abdul Abulbul Amir.
I'm sure he was married to Liz Taylor, nearly everyone else was.

I can find no trace of Richard Harris in Lawrence, or that he was married to Liz Taylor. ER who are you getting mixed up with?

One of the girls at school was named Elizabeth Burton. After morning assembly on the Monday after the wedding of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, the deputy head announced from the stage at the front of the hall that he needed to speak to Elizabeth Burton in his office immediately after assembly. He looked perplexed when some of the assembled students burst out laughing, until the headmaster leaned across to explain why.

If it wasn't O'Toole or Harris then the only other Irish actor of note is Mrs Brown.

Although I'm an oul rocker with a wee bit of Nashville thrown in I have a soft spot for Brendan O'Dowda and his interpretation of Percy French.

If we're musing about Irish entertainers, my nomination for one of the best ever is Dave Allen. Check his humour on You Tube.

When I am arrested on a Saturday evening for being a wee bit tipsy if I showed some conductance would the Magistrate look kindlier upon me? Please advise as I do not know watt to do.

Shame on you, you should not be around Dublin docks late at night wearing your leather jacket and no doubt a flick knife up your sleeve, pissed or not.

Don't put up any Resistance! If you can, Volt before you can be arrested. When up before the Beak, show some deference,"Ohm-y honour, I am truly sorry for my behaviour!".If you are subjected to Induction to the penal system, make sure you lubricate one of the screws to ensure a decent cellmate who will protect you!

Rgds.

Reminded of an old joke......

I was walking around the Olympic Village when I saw a man carrying a long stick. I stopped him and asked:
"Are you a Pole Vaulter?".

He answered:
"No, I am German. How do you know my name?".

Boom-boom!

Rgds.

There is a place where they only use 25 letters of the alphabet.

And they don’t know why….

Grammarians say that “i before e except after c”.
Scientists have disproved this.

Front page headline from tonight's Evening Telegraph ( Dundee and district).
Guess the local police learned something new IMG-20231204-WA0000.jpg
