Obviously modest forbade me from making such a suggestion for the lead role, ie me.

But if one of the cast is coming up with intelligent and appropriate casting suggestions then I must take them on board.

You'll find me a director who takes notice of the 'talent'.


I'll get my people to contact his.

Hmm PG. I'm sure it's not your intention, but the cinema going public might think this was one of those 'specialist' films. You know the sort of thing one used to go and see in Soho cinemas in one's youth.

Usually had a supporting csrtoon. Usually Fritz The Cat.


I like the use of the modern vernacular though. The man losing his wallet was being 'flakey', wasn't he?

We might wring a few quid out of some gullible teenagers.

Keep this up PG and an assistant associate executive producer's role could be yours.

but isn't that the new film "In Bruges" ?


In Bruges - Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson


but back on topic (even tho it's in The Lounge) fair play to wallet. Being "upstanding citizens" isn't a Bad Thing, STB

Lady MacGabhann has "lost" her wallet/purse on more than one occassion - upstanding citizens have been very helpful to her

Sorry to say Giggi but Clooney's turned out To be something of a broken reed.

He was sent an outline of the script and offered the lead part, ie me.

Things seemed to be progressing nicely until we started talking costume and character.

Clooney's people said he would not consider wearing a bald wig and putting on four stone for the part. Furthermore he would not be shown on screen sitting round the house in a bath robe that made him look like a badly wrapped bag of chips.

I begged them to consider the 'method'. What of Stanislavsky? I entreated, but to no avail.

If only dear Roy Kinnear were still with us, I'm sure he'd have jumped at the chance.


Anyway never say die, as we can see from above STB and SeanMG are mad keen on doing it.

    • I've been with the practice for probably 30 years or more. This week I sent a request to be seen by someone via the app and within 10 minutes I got a text message saying a doc would call me in the next hour. I received the call and have a face to face appointment on Tuesday. I consider that to be a very good service.
    • Two local ‘High Streets for People’ events happening today: - Southwark celebrates High Streets for People On Saturday 21 June, Southwark Council is bringing residents, families, communities and businesses together to celebrate our High Streets. On Bellenden Road, Peckham, there will be a community event from 11am to 4pm with children’s games, face-painting, live music including a samba band and DJs, food from local businesses, cycling activities and much more. The road will be temporarily shut to vehicles between Danby Street and Choumert Road from 7am to 7pm, with buses diverted during this time to make space for community and family activities. Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets and Waste, said: “What a great way to celebrate the first day of Summer! Streets for People is about putting people first — making our neighbourhoods places where communities can connect, businesses can thrive, and everyone can enjoy cleaner air and safer streets.” Partners in the event include Bellenden Road businesses, London Play, Peddle my Wheels, JoyRiders, Community Cycleworks, the London Samba Band, OurBike, Poetic Unity. North Cross Road market will also be extended on Saturday 21 June, with extra traders taking part. Vehicle access will be restricted up to Lacon Road between 8am and 5pm to accommodate this. Local communities are also organising a number of play streets and street parties to mark the start of summer. The council has approved 18 road closures in June and July, allowing communities to enjoy their streets without traffic for the day. All these activities support Southwark’s Streets for People strategy, which seeks to make streets across the borough cleaner, greener, safer and more welcoming.  Investments are being made in walking and cycling routes, improved air quality, and creating more space for community use. Find out more at www.southwark.gov.uk/highstreetsforpeople As part of its commitment to do something each year that brings residents, community groups and businesses together to take climate action, Southwark Council has also arranged a number of free events as part of London Climate Action Week. You can view the full list of events at www.southwark.gov.uk/climate-week
    • It does seem a common business strategy these days. River Island has just announced a similar restructuring: closing 33 shops and demanding that the landlords of a further 71 locations take a haircut. 
    • If anyone has any spare tickets for Crystal Palace on Sunday let me know!
