I have NEVER used the word “dishonest” in the quote you choose to protest about, … … I have merely pointed out that, in my opinion, “… honest and hard working.” MP’s seem to be in the Labour Party! In Hamlet is the sentence “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” Maybe you should stop...

My Mam once described Gail as “The one that looks like a tortoise!” and whenever I see her, or “One Foot in the Grave” ….. !

My nomination is Brian Linley from Mablethorpe! I doubt if anyone has heard of my Brian, but he is one of the most generous and tight-fisted person I have ever met! I hope that all people called “Brian” are like this one! athumb..

Oh dear! My first thought was “The best one died!” Brian Glover was a great actor and not a bad wrestler; despite being from Yorkshire! I didn’t like the other one, even in “Z-Cars” as Fancy Smith; the worst kind of Yorkshireman!

Lt Uhuru lead the way for the thousands of coloured actors that followed! I loved the NASA tribute to her: “We celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek actor, trailblazer, and role model, who symbolized to so many what was possible. She partnered with us to recruit some of the first...
