I think Varley and ES should buy a large plantpot each and stand in them then they can both talk to little weeeed.

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.

Lancsman 26th September 2023 15:26

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?

Dave McGouldrick 26th September 2023 16:43

Perhaps the welsh Richard (Burton)

Malcolm G 26th September 2023 16:44

I know who he means...

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.

Very confused, perhaps His Lordship could explain.

Varley 11th November 2023 13:03

Ha H.....Oh My.

"Heave to Enterprise! Resistance is the reciprocal of conductance".

YM-Mundrabilla 11th November 2023 22:05

Resistance is also futile ..............

Malcolm G 11th November 2023 23:10

There’s no place like Ohm.

Engine Serang 12th November 2023 06:29

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!

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.

I'll be amp lee pleased if lubricant is available.

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

And they don’t know why….

Malcolm G 2nd December 2023 10:47

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