charon 4,943 Posted March 11, 2016 Had pointed out to me that the Sean Barrett in the How Soon is Now cover, is the same one in the Priests of Father Ted list. Ie the most boring voice in the world guy. Small world , innit... Plus, oooh the choices when he dies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted March 11, 2016 Aye, but it amused me that the link between Morrissey and the most boring voice in the World , wasn't himself, or Graham Norton . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,552 Posted March 11, 2016 Well, that episode also featured Gerard McSorley as Father Ted Unctious, who was in "War Horse" with Tony Pitts (Google the face, uber-character actor) who was in Powder (2011) (never heard of it) with Johnny Marr.

Handrejka 1,904 Posted March 11, 2016 Richard Bradford will probably end up going this year s he didn't make the cut for my ITC theme theam. He's not really aged well either, very overweight now. It's strange, I've never paid any attention to The Smiths and don't know much about that them but a lot of the people on the covers are people I'm independently interested in.

Scraggy Taters 290 Posted March 11, 2016 Alternatively we could always diverse this thread into dead people with the surname of Smith. It is still the most common British surname. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
