Oh silly silly Jars. Nice try. I've been hoarding Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in the corner for quite a while now.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Ah, but do you have a friend of a friend who knows him? And your friend promised to steal you his his phone number, just so you can have it in your phone, but not call him, because that's just creepy?
He's just so pointy, and effeminate, and lithe, and ....yum. I hope they repeat Gormenghast soon. Cos, y'know - hot.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Leigh ... Elizabeth is in South Australia. It was created in the mid 1950s and UK migrants were the primary "settlers". Jimmy Barnes and his half-brother John "Swannee" Swan grew up here, as did Graham Goble and Beeb Birtles from the Little River Band and Alan Tarney of the Tarney-Spencer Band.
The only reason I know this is b/c it's etched in my brain due to a radio show I did way back in 1980. It was part of the "rock n roll highschool" hour on the original Triple M (now known as 3D Radio). Most of the students who got a turn on the show, just played any old music but since we were from Elizabeth High School, we decided to do a show around artists who came from Elizabeth.
BTW ... Michael "Tunny" Tunn -- formerly of Triple J and ABC TV -- got his start doing the Rock N Roll High School show. By the time he was on it, they'd stopped using different schools each week and just had the same students come in every week.

Okay, Jars, you win on the obsessiveness. Though the phone number thing is SCARY. But I'm still not giving him up.

I forgot Liam Neeson.
So did I! (Flog me, too!)

Oh, yes. Also, if I may be permitted to include non-living Brits, Graham Chapman.

Yeah. And had Spike Milligan in. (Okay! So I have a thing for dead funny guys! With blue eyes! It's the blue eyes, I tell you.)
I have to admit that because I knew the books, I was more than a little disturbed by how attractive I found Steerpike. Rhys-Meyers did a wonderful job, but-- disturbing, kinda.

That's praise. Disturbing is how Gormenghast *should* be.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
As long as we're not time-restricted and Deb's claiming prime Richard Burton, I'd like to lay claim to Richard Harris and Robert Shaw. And Julian Sand.
Wouldn't you like have closed a pub 30 years ago with Burton, Harris and O'Toole?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Hell no. I'd have got naked.
And sold tickets.

I probably wouldn't have come close to keeping up with them, but this does sound like fun.

Oh, the wild-eyed Irish and Welsh songs, the jokes. Finney, anyone?
Deb, you mentioned Courtenay. Did you ever see The Dresser? That film just--oof. Sucker-punched me.

Omigod, Finney, Tom Jones-era (slaver drool whimper).
I loved The Dresser. And speaking of Courtenay, must also mention Laurence Harvey, to die for, and gone too soon. Anyone else have a deep-seated passion for A Dandy in Aspic?
