Just watched "The Long Good Friday" again, I had forgotten how good that movie was, and it really is not acting. Hoskins was introduced to the Kray twins in the 60's but chose not to pursue a life of crime, joined the merchant navy and took up acting rather late in his life. He never took himself seriously, just a kid from North London who got Lucky and came out with many memorable quotes "I've played so many historical characters because most horrible dictators are short, fat, middle-aged men." "I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can't express ourselves emotionally, we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women." "[On the set of Hook] We had Dustin Hoffman apologising for making Ishtar. And [steven] Spielberg apologising for 1941 and Robin Williams jumping in and saying: 'I apologise for Cadillac Man. I was sitting there and shouted 'Well, I apologise for f**king nothing!'" "Monogamy is a possibility – and a necessity. Kids have got to have something they can rely on. You have got to have something you rely on." "The worst thing I ever did? 'Super Mario Bros.' It was a f**kin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks, their own agent told them to get off the set! F**kin' nightmare. F**kin' idiots." On ever doing the BT adverts again: "You're joking, intcha? I couldn't believe it. It was un-be-lie-va-ble. The worst thing that happened to me was Madonna getting stalked by a fella called Bob Hoskins, and I had f*ckin' hundreds of people come up to me, and say 'It's good to stalk.' B*stards! Hahaha!" "I'm very romantic. I've emptied flower shops." "Money's very handy, let's face it." "When you get to my age, what you want is the cameo. You get paid a lot of money. You fly in for a couple of weeks. Everybody treats you like the crown jewels. It's all great and if the film turns out to be a load of s**t, nobody blames you. "I'm Winnie the Pooh - that's as sexy as I am. I meet ladies and they talk about their family and I talk about my family. It's about as sexy as a bag of Brussel sprouts." "What do I owe my parents? Confidence. My mum used to say to me, 'If somebody doesn't like you, f*ck 'em, they've got bad taste.'" "What would I have done if I wasn't an actor? Probably rob banks." Star

No Loch Ness Monster sightings for first time since 1925 For the first time in almost 90 years no "confirmed sightings" have been made of the Loch Ness Monster, a veteran Nessie spotter has said. Gary Campbell, who keeps a register of sightings, said no-one had come forward in 18 months to say they had seen the monster. Bookmaker William Hill also said the three entries to its annual Nessie spotting contest could be explained. They were images of a wave, a duck and a picture not even taken on Loch Ness. Mr Campbell said it was the first time since 1925 that there had been no confirmed reports of the monster. He said: "It's very upsetting news and we don't know where she's gone. "The number of sightings has been reducing since the turn of the century but this is the first time in almost 90 years that Nessie wasn't seen at all." 'Time out' Mr Campbell, a chartered accountant based in Inverness, has been logging Nessie sightings for 17 years after seeing something in the loch himself. As Nessie's registrar of sightings, he has put together a list of sightings going back 1,500 years. Irish missionary St Columba is said to have encountered a beast in the River Ness in 565AD. Mr Campbell said: "So far 1,036 reported sightings have been recorded and there were some in 2012. "I'm convinced that Nessie has just taken some time out and will be back with a vengeance this year." Last year, Loch Ness Monster was placed ahead of the Himalaya's Yeti in a list of "top 18 mysteries" for travellers to solve in 2014. Wanderlust Magazine put Nessie at number three and the Yeti at 12. Easter Island's carved monoliths, the moai, were in first place followed by Mongolia's Gobi rock art. Also listed are the Pyramids of Giza, the USA's Marfa ghost lights, Angkor Wat in Cambodia and finding Australia's Tasmanian tiger. http://www.bbc.co.uk...slands-26081992

Edinburgh man Wullie McTavish is on his deathbed, knows the end is near, is with the nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons. "So", he says to them: "Bernie, I want you to take the Braid Hills houses." "Sybil, take the flats over in Morningside and Bruntsfield." "Tam, I want you to take the offices in Charlotte Square." "Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings in the New Town." The nurse is just blown away by all this, and as Wullie slips away, she says, "Mrs. McTavish, your husband must have been such a hard working man to have accumulated all this property". Sarah replies, "Property? ... the bugger has a paper round!"

Sayjaan, Please don't mention Messi and Ronaldo in the same breath as the Black Panther, the finest player I have had the privilege to see playing live, and yes I have seen Ronaldo and Messi in the flesh as well but not a patch on Eusebio. 1968, dying seconds of the European Cup final 1-1 and he was one on one against Alex Stepney, Stepney pulled off a great save and Eusebio just stood there and applauded him, everyone remembers the Banks / Pele save Mexico '70, this one was even better. Today every second of the game is recorded from multiple angles and replayed n times, back in his day lucky to have a 10 second clip on Pathe News, he was fast, could do 100 meters in under 11 seconds which back in the late 60's was podium time for Olympics. I am often asked my opinion "Who was / is the best ever" and I can only go on players I have seen live, so Maradona and Pele are out of the equation only ever seen them on TV, but in the flesh Eusebio is head and shoulders above Messi, Ronaldo, Best etc. RIP Black Panther, another part of my youth has passed away.
