Brinsworth House Baiter

WHOOSH! And the tumbleweeds keep rolling by....

Hang on, E Tel, one minute you sound homophobically upset about Patrick's 'outing' & then in the next you sound positively delighted that gays are being sent to uranus. Please clarify your position.

James MacArthur, Dan Williams from Hawaii Five O, is sixty nine. As far as I can find out, he doesn't appear to be in any imminent danger or bad health, but maybe one to keep an eye on?

Oh, & here's what he looks like now- Look, he's old!

Not sure if he's a resident or whether he just haunts the halls when the working men's clubs are shut, but he was at the Brinsworth House Christmas Party & Cabaret & he's 91 years old! Ladies & gentleman, I give you Mister Alfie Pearson! Coffin dodger at Brinsworth

I knew if I left it long enough someone would spare me the trouble. Thank you.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Sounds exactly like the kind of scheme the old twister would employ to make a few quid, capitalising on other's misfortune. Fair play to him mind- if only I'd thought of it & been born earlier. I blame my parents.

Hear hear. Who's Aston Villa? Now, now, there's no need for that! As a diehard Villa fan this thread is of great interest to me. Yep, Doug's famous enough all right, for when he goes the back pages of the tabloids will be full of it. He's also very big in the travel world as well, or rather he was until he made his money & then decided to siphon the rest of his fortune out of our once great football club. No point in discussing him anyway- the bastard's obviously immortal.

Okay, let's get even more obscure- here's some other oldies still clinging to life who've had parts in Carry Ons: Vincent Ball- Oz actor who was in A Town Like Alice. He was the keep fit instructor making the girls go weak at the knees in Carry On Cruising & also, in Follow That Camel, he's the ship's officer who checks Lady Ponsonby's porthole. He's a grand 83 years old this year. Windsor Davies- The It Ain't Half Hot Mum star was in Carry On Behind & England & is an impressive 76 this year. Peter Gilmore- The Onedin Line thesp was in Follow that Camel, Don't Lose Your Head & Henry. 75 this year. Carol Hawkins- The sexy babe from Please Sir was in Abroad & Behind. 57 this year. Julian Holloway- Son of Stanley. Was in 3 Carry Ons, but we all remember him as the coach driver who accidentally rips Bab's nightie off in Carry On Camping. He's 62 this year &, rather brilliantly, did some voices for the Medal of Honor:European Assault video game. Anton Rodgers- The bespectacled bloke from TV's Fresh Fields 'sitcom', he was a young passenger in Cruising & in Jack he was the recipient of Nelson's deathbed proposition. Anyway, he's a grand 73 this year. Elke Sommer- The Russian archaeologist in Carry On Behind & one of my first solitary sexual experiences. Ahem. She's a sprightly 66 this year. But this is the one & I'm putting him on my list for 2006! Frank Thornton- Most famous for being Captain Peacock in Are You Being Served. He also played the shop assistant in Carry On Screaming who refuses to believe his window dummies are real women. Well, I refuse to believe that, at a grand old 85, Frank's coffin dodging can go on for much longer! Whatever happens please don't forget Richard O'Sullivan (Carry-on Teacher) Lol, Oh, I will NEVER forget Dicky O.

Joan Sims? Im probably completely wrong. Infact, i am, just checked. she died in 2001. Silly old Cuppa. Died in 2001, sadly, after an operation. Ah, the wonders of editing- just ignore me!!

Valerie Leon's still going strong. Not exactly a star of the Carry On's, but she was in a few- Up The Jungle & Girls, off the top of my head. And on a purely chauvanistic, shallow note, she had a fantastic set of norks to boot. Probably not much to look at now mind, but there you go.

Kid was called John Charlesworth & killed himself in 1960, nine years after Scrooge! was released. Had a quick flick through Rotten.com, imbd & wikipedia, but can't find any reference to it method etc. As for motive, I think it's fair to say that he wanted to end it all.

Danni, Wait, get joined. Apart from that suspect last par you sound like a deathlister in the making. People will take the piss a bit but that's OK. There's all sorts here. Know anything about Mollie Sugden? Well, after a sincere invite like that, I thought to myself, why not? So here I am, all joined up & my first mission as Death Lister will be to write to Brinsworth House and see if I can get Dickie O's autograph. I'll let you know how I get on. P.s. Why was my last paragraph suspect? She does give me the horn! Maybe it was because I was remembering her like this: http://www.moviemarket.co.uk/Photos/P20397...5X5002339496717 Ah, point taken, lol. By the way, posted my request to Brinsworth House for Dicky O's autograph today, so might have news regarding the star of the thread soon.

Was she in a good mood when she slapped you? Cos if she was & you slapped her back...wait for it... would that be classed as striking a happy medium? Oh come on, someone had to do it- it may as well be me!

Cole turns cold- like it. How about "Cole In The Hole?" Nope, don't have a list as yet- like I said, I'm a newbie, but old George came to mind after seeing him the other night. In fact, he's been perturbing me since the other night. Ghastly, quite ghastly. Gawd only knows what 'Er Indoors thinks about it all.

Okay, bit new at all this & finding my feet, so to speak, so bear with me. So this is all about who's going to shuffle off their mortal coil & all that, yeah? No flies on me, buddy! Well, my first prediction & it pains me to do so as I am a fan, is the wonderful Mister George Cole. As great an actor he might have been in the St. Trinians films & the legendary Minder, he looked at death's door the other night when I saw him on the box. On, not in. Shane Richie did a half hour slot on Minder, just after Doc Martin, & George was on it with Dennis Waterman. Dennis looked bad enough (I've commented on him elsewhere) but George looked awful. Granted, he is 80 odd but lumme, his bloodshot eyes made him look like the undead. In fact, it just might be possible that George Cole is the first celebrity vampire. Discuss.

There was a programme last Thursday night about Minder, presented by Shane Richie and Dennis wasn't looking so good. It wasn't his teeth that bothered me, but the size of his eyes. Like saucers they were, as if he was turning into some humanoid mutant Felix the cat. And his face... melting, I tell ye... Didn't look well at all- a long way away from the cheeky, Jack the Lad, pull anything in a skirt persona from his heyday. And you should have seen the state of George Cole sitting alongside him- sagged face, bloodshot eyes- he looked as though he's already gone to the grave & returned from it.
