Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. I think James Franco has had a couple attempts at getting if off the ground but it might be unfilmable. Anything by Elmore Leonard, a wealth of material as 3:10 to Yuma, Jackie Brown, and the tv show Justified will attest.

These were the go-to from the school tuck shop in the late 90s

Enthusaistic participant but didn't really hit many heights- more just random one off moments. Top scorer in the school basketball team that won a regional tournament when I was about 15. Scored a half century in a village cricket match around the same age. Did bugger all else for the rest of...

Funniest bit about this is the deadpan ''Again, it failed to make the edit". Would have loved to have seen that on BBC1 at 8pm.

Also spent a year at uni in USA in my younger days and was good friends with a guy who is now working for Marvel Studios. He is always at parties/events/superbowls with people like LL Cool J/Dave Grohl/ Travis barker etc etc. Ridiculous really. Don't think he went to any freak offs though.

I taught George Clooney's nephew at a private school in Singapore for a year. (Amal Clooney's sister's kid). Obviously I never met Uncle George. Being a teacher in an international school means you hear lots of stories of people who have taught celeb kids. One of my colleagues taught chemistry...

Used to collect NBA cards as a kid, got a few still knocking around but not worth anything. My mate has just started a (small) business dealing in them. (NFL, baseball and football) Like you say some of the prices reach incredible amounts. They make so many variations of them nowadays. All...

yep, immediately thought of Adkins and Pochettino over a decade ago and O'Neil and Iraola.

Bloody love a puffin.

Great shout, Hadley as well. In the same vein I'd also nominate from Green Mile that complete **** Percy Wetmore, "I didn't know the sponge was supposed to be wet" and Sam Rockwell, while being a despicable individual, stealing every scene he's in.

'Lord Vader?' 'Who the f***'s talking to you boy?' :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

2 litres?! Impressive.

Off the top of my head in terms of the impact I felt from them as actors: Feinnes-Schindler's list Pesci-Casino Javier Bardem-No Country

Interesting what we mean by aged well. Names keep popping up for both aged well and badly. Aged well based on how society has changed? Or if it's still funny? Or if today's youngsters would find it funny? Something like the Young Ones I would argue has aged badly, not cos it isn't funny but...

I do both of these. Weird. Also have an obsession with rubbing silk labels, like the ones you get on the inside of a tshirt. The silkier the better. Very weird but been about 35 years of doing it.

Yep, totally agreee with this. Also Premier league games will be played in the US at some point for sure. The NFL send some god awful teams overseas on a yearly basis and they always sell out. The same will happen in the USA. I mean Fulham v Brentford had 40,000 at a pre season game last summer...

YES, That's it! I don't remember reading it in that magazine -I think it was an anthology of different comic strips from different magazines but thats definitely the one, cheers!

The Beano, Match! and Shoot were my go to magazines. I'm also having flashbacks to a black and white football comic about a journeyman mercenary centre forward that was done in pretty realistic style. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called and driving me crazy. He would go and play...

Norm's a comedy hero of mine, I'd imagine he was naturally funny, if a bit eccentric in real life.

My parents got a taxi ride after a Springsteen gig in the 90s into like the centre of Indianapolis or somewhere random. Another couple jumped in and asked if they could share the cab. Turns out the fella was my dad's old Uni house mate from Roehampton uni 25 years previously. Also I bumped into...
