I was saying that when i was in high school on the late 90s

This is dragging on longer than Karl and Susan out of Neighbours, let's hope we get a happy ending though

The Man Who Haunted Himself. He described it as the only bit of proper acting he ever did. The rest of his roles were essentially him being affable and not bumping into the furniture whilst reading out the dialogue.

I think it's because he sees the Saudis as a reliable ally against the fanatics.

What's not as well known about him is that his knighthood wasn't granted to much for services to acting/film, but for his great work for UNIFEC. After his last Bond film in 85 he basically retired from acting and later spent 20 years drumming up funding for UNICEF's work. We know him...

I agree. But that's not the basis of Ian's calling him a hypocrite - he claimed that Trump condemning the Manchester attack was hypocritical because Trump sold arms to the Saudis. There's no real link between the two as far as I can see, so those particular comments in themselves can't be called...

My original point to all this was Ian essentially claimed that Trump was a hypocrite for condemning the Manchester attacker because he has just sold a load of weaponry to the Saudis, who allegedly (we can agree/disagree on that separately) back ISIS. The reason I called this out is that 1)...

The Persuaders was fantastic and isn't nearly enough well known for how good it was! Shame it only got 20 episodes or so - apparently it didn't fly in the US which was the main market they were banking on. Without that, such a big budget show couldn't continue.

I wasn't belittling you, I was belittling your words and there's a big difference. Where do you recommend I start, the Canary or the Morning Star?

Err, no need for name-calling on a thread like this. I suggest you give up the conspiracy theories and wake up - Saudi is a key strategic ally and international partner, including in the fight against ISIS. It's not wrong for their country, ours and the US to work together in supplying weaponry...

Do the one about how Israel secretly funds ISIS. Then tell us the one about how moon landings were faked by Elvis, Bigfoot, the CIA and Prince Phillip.

You could say that about most countries. Total ban on selling or manufacturing weapons?

The same Saudis who are contributing the US-led war against ISIS? That's a bigger piece of guff than "Saudi Arabia is to blame for Bin Laden and al Qaeda" - err, Bin Laden was a Saudi and that was about it. It's like blaming the British government for the crimes of Jimmy Savile. Anyway, I...

The Saudis get their billions from ISIS???

I haven't agreed with much of what Trump has said since his inauguration but even he got it right today: “I will call them, from now on, losers, because that’s what they are. I won’t call them monsters because they would like that term. They would think that’s a great name. They’re losers.”...

So ISIS claim responsibility (in reality the guy was probably nothing to do with them and just "inspired by" and they knew nothing about it, but decided to claim it anyway): "With Allah’s grace and support, a soldier of the Khilafah managed to place explosive devices in the midst of the...

Gutted - a real legend. My favourite actor. Got several of his books and movies. Saw him once "in conversation with" at Wimbledon Theatre. If it wasn't for the Manchester attack fallout you would see a lot more hand-wringing for Roger. But to be fair at 89 it's not a great surprise. He was a...

Well...yeah!

Clearly you're not still having flashbacks of his pusillanimous display at Southampton away on the last day of the relegation season, amongst many other anonymous, ineffectual performances for us during his time with us.

In all the excitement, 2 points to make: 1) people seem to be having selective memory syndrome - when he was here, most people would moan about for his tendency to have one good game in 10 and to duck out of tackles - he wasn't a great for us by any means and didn't make any impact in the...
