    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.

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

    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...

    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.

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