One of my favourite comedy actors has gone.

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

Thanks for the laughs Lesley.

This is embarrassing.

Well I didn't know either
Airplane was way up there on my list of fave comedy movies.

Lets just leave the thread and enjoy the feedback

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

[Arthur Little]

Leslie Nielsen.

... because when the name is spelled as Lesley it [usually] means the person's female.

[Arthur Little]

Anyway ... ... I hadn't realised he was already dead!

It gets worse.

Actually I know that too.

I think I'm losing my marbles Arthur.

[grahamw48]

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!!

[Arthur Little]

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.

[Arthur Little]

Donald Nielsen, who died last year...a Yorkshireman.

Yes ... the 'Black Panther' ... not to be with Peter Sutcliffe, the 'Yorkshire Ripper'!

Another Yorkshireman...

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

[grahamw48]

I'm not ready to be a senior person yet !
