    [Film] Actors you can't stand

    As pointed out below, he plays someone who is dying, does it very well, brilliantly evokes the 50s era it’s set in, and it’s very different to lots of other things I’ve seen him do. i like him. You don’t. Fair enough.

    [Film] Actors you can't stand

    About 4 years ago he played a dying civil servant in a film called “Living” which is for me one of the best acting performances I’ve ever seen by anyone in anything. An understated masterpiece and totally believable.

    [Misc] Music for your wake …

    I’ve actually thought I should be thinking along these lines recently. one hymn I would ask for is “Praise my Soul the King of Heaven”, which was used as a Processional hymn at our wedding for Mrs DiS to walk down the aisle to in 1977. The organist couldn’t manage Widor’s Toccata. I’ve also...

    [Misc] Britishcore - "100 experiences that define and unite modern Britons" (it says here)

    As a Guardianista I have never done the vast majority of those things - I was going to say haven’t done ANY of those things, but couldn’t be bothered to read past 20. It’s rubbish. Too stupid to be entertaining.

    How come you so often see decent second choice keepers wanting to move so they can get regular first team football, then? Ramsdale has already been mentioned, but he’s certainly not alone!
