OK, here's a clue:
He has directed only seven films, two of which he was in, and he has written almost no science fiction.
-
Nigel Kneale?Had to Google him.
Live and learn.
But no it's not him, or Fugit. As far as I know.
-
Nope.

I already had Human Body and was trying to work out if Pounds of Carbon would be about right.
No it isn't Peter Sellers.

Think about it:
Arthur C. Clarke was warmish.
Stanley Kubrick was slightly warmer.
Leonard Rossiter was not a bad guess in a way.
So what are we looking for?
-
Lord Lucan.You said that with such conviction, that I'm going to give you a point.
But no, it isn't Lord Lucan.
-
Now you're just being silly!
-
Arthur C. Clarke is sort of warm, in a way.Kubrick? Probably way too obvious...
In a way even warmer, but still not right.
Leonard Rossiter?
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
But still wrong.

I can see where you're coming from Josco, but no.

Here's a quiz:
Whose socks are these?

Well it's a few years since I lived in Glasgow, but I can imagine it might be some people in certain parts of the South Side's idea of a nice afternoon out to take the kids down to the park to shoot at geese.If you were taking any care of the lad at all, you would have made sure he didn't go anywhere near any geese and definitely didn't try to feed them
And as far as I'm aware, an air rifle doesn't really make much noise. You'd have done better, if your intention really was to frighten them off, with a popgun or just clapping your hands and shouting "boo!"
I won't disagree with your calling me a lippy German thug though, because I like the idea of being thought of that way.
I do apologise for saying that, Hein. I'm sure you are a very nice and friendly person. Which part of Germany do you live in?
It seems you're barking up the wrong tree. I don't live in Germany. I live in the Netherlands, a few hundred kilometers north and west from the Original Poster, Notapotato.
If you were to call me a lippy Dutch thug I wouldn't mind much, as being lippy is an integral part of being Dutch.
regards,
Hein
Oh dear Hein, you are behind the times!
I now live about 400Km to the east of you, and very slightly north.
Although I will admit my current location is way, way south of there, thank goodness.

I would like to put Canada geese in Room 101. Glasgow has a lot of them now and they are a very aggressive pest. I took my seven - year - old cousin to the park last week and a goose attacked him when he was feeding it. I shot my air rifle in the air to scare it away - but I hit the bird. The goose was unharmed - but I got fined for the bird I shot. Where's the justice in that?Dunno. Was the goose armed and dangerous?
regards,
Hein
If you're going to be REALLY fucking stupid enough to discharge an air rifle in a public park, then you deserve to be fucking JAILED, not fined. PRICK!!!!!
There was only me and my cousin in the park when I shot the bird.
Why did you have a gun with you while visiting the park with a seven year old? Would you call yourself a positive role-model? And how did you manage to hit a goose on the ground while shooting "in the air"? Are you extremely uncoordinated? Your statements certainly are.
And who fined you if there were only the two of you there? Did, as if by magic, a park keeper appear?
I put it to you that you are a shite-talking utter dickhead.
I put it to you that you are a lippy German thug who wants a good smack. The goose was flying when I fired my gun. I often go in the park - but I don't usually take my gun. Canada geese are very aggressive - and it is a known fact that gunshots scare them off. I got fined when I went to the police station. I wasn't arrested - I went of my own accord.

Grunch Road. Free to read online.
Not read it myself yet like, but it's by one of that growing tribe of Authors Who are Also Deathlisters, so it deserves our support.

The version I always used to listen to was the audio one from Monty Python's Previous Record.
Here's the first transcription I found with Google.
Plain as the nose on your face.

I haven't bothered to go and listen to it again, but I'm pretty sure it's "coffee nosed".
Perhaps there are different versions, or perhaps we could have a fight about it.

Because everyone else is an arsehole.In Fraserburgh, possibly.
Windsor's certainly an arsehole, not sure if he's representative of Fraserburgh in general?
Windsor tries hard, but you can tell he's a decent soul deep down.

You won't be seeing me in Sainsbury's anytime soon.It's nearly 10 years since I was in a WalMart. I remember the occasion well, since it was a Tuesday in September 2001. They had a big TV department. I also remember what I thought at the time.
No particular connection, I just thought I'd mention it.
Those pathetic, poisoned individuals that write sex comments on videos for kids on YouTube. That is so sick!
Do some people do that?
That's not nice at all!
At the risk of getting nailed to something: Why can't people just be kind to each other?
