    R.I.P Lesley Nielson

    One of my favourite comedy actors has gone.

    Who can forget 'Airplane' and the 'Naked Gun' movies ?

    Thanks for the laughs Lesley.

    Does anyone remember Leslie Nielson ?

    He apparently died in 2010.

    Anyway, I'll leave you to discuss, as I have to throw some old newspapers out...

    You sure you've got the 'sex' right, Graham? ... I'd always believed the late actor's name was spelt Leslie Nielsen.

    ... Graham! ... put it down to being one of those so-called "senior moments" that occasionally affect folk of a certain generation.

    I've just finished reading a newspaper about the Dunkirk evacuation

    It was a replica, bought it and a few others on Amazon .... great to read ..... Get up in the morning, shoot down a few Nazi's, and home in time for tea .... different attitude of the young in those days!!

    You ... being of a certain vintage, Graham ... will remember ANOTHER Leslie - Leslie Sands - who played Detective Chief Inspector Barlow's boss in early episodes of 'Z Cars', and later featured in his own 'Police Series' as a rural Yorkshire copper... Sgt Cluff.
