Six 23 Posted July 14, 2006 I loved Barnard Hughes as the grandfather in The Lost Boys, he was so cute. I also loved the tall, dark haired vampire, but not in the same way. Hmmm. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear he's gone ( Barnard Hughes that is, not that vampire bloke). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sacrilige OoO, I'd expect better from you! Brilliant actor I thought anyhow. Kevin Hughes, MP for Doncaster until last year, NUM member & former assistant Government Whip, has died from motor neurone disease, aged 53. Clearly this is not a good time to have the sirname of Hughes...wonder how old Howard is doing? Haven't recieved any Christmas cards from him lately... As to Barnard Hughes, I too found him to be a wonderful actor and enjoyed him in a Father Brown mystery not long ago... He seemed to be the Grampa and friend everyone would want Sad to see him leave us so soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously though, what a brain fart. Though admittedly, Mako didn't come up in the search. You'd think I could spell a four letter word correctly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, let's just say I won't be changing my avatar to Mako anytime soon. Would the mods object to "The Iain Thread" where we post any nonsense that comes to our mind in poorly written English? I know we have more than our fair share of rubbish threads, but it could certainly be as interesting/entertaining as the Caption Contest thread. Plus it might be a useful place to put all sorts of junk and thus we can keep it contained in one thread. Reading OoO's post, I haven't laughed that hard in ages!
