    Christopher Lee's passed at the ripe old age of 93.

    Legend of a bloke who did more for British cinema than anyone else I can think of.

    I loved those old hammer films when I was a kid.

    Another star from my childhood that's gone.

    RIP

    Have you ever been to Whitby when the annual Goth Weekend is on? I hadn't been for a few years, and I thought 'Jesus, they're weird buggers here'. All the lasses looked like Morticia, and a lot of the blokes were wearing top hats and suchlike. Stra-a-ange! It wasn't till I got back to work on Monday that somebody mentioned that it was Goth Weekend. I was kinda relieved ! I thought it was just a Whitby everyday thing. <laugh>

    If he had a great film life, his real life war experiences take some beating as well.

    Nah! But I've been during the pirate weekend though! Some fantastic costumes! One lass actually had a peg leg from the knee down! I thought at the time that removing a leg for authenticity seemed to be going a bit far in this instance! <laugh>

    This is her with the ship on her head!

    Back home!? Frightened the bloody life out of me. I hadn't been to Whitby for five or six years, and I had no idea about Goth Weekend. Came as a bit of a shock to see ordinary people walking around the streets like that. <laugh> Then I found out.
